Jackeys Marsh is a hidden valley community, 20 minutes' drive from Deloraine in Tasmania's central North. Properties in this area, especially valley floor farms, almost never come up for sale. So, it is with great excitement that we can offer this amazing property to the market for the first time in 30 years. 'Rivendell' is a19.89 hectares (50 acres) that is right in every way. From sweeping rich, fertile flats to undulating hills, this property provides an outstanding conditioning environment for stock. Pasture improvement has been enhanced with a program based around Bio Dynamic principals and is evident in a strong undergrowth of clover across the grasslands. The balance split of approximately 20 acres of native forest and 30 acres of pastures is a perfect mix for production and recreation and gives a new owner the opportunity to be self-sufficient in their firewood requirements. This property is 'off grid', as is the whole valley, but with the newly upgraded remote power system you would never know it. Smart technology blends seamlessly with old fashioned style on this property. This is never more evident than with the hot water. Evacuated tube solar combines with a wet back on the slow combustion stove in the kitchen to create the perfect production combination package. The large country style farmhouse is delightful. Sheltered veranda spaces to the south give dry entry points, and glassed areas to the north create solar passive warmth and clever production space for a kitchen garden. A large workshop that forms part of the main building could also be transformed to extend the living or sleeping space. A lofted 'Chalet' style bungalow offers additional accommodation, but would be just as valuable as a studio or any other creative space. A cosy wood fire and delightful little touches, such as peek windows in the pitch, give this little building a unique charm. Abundant water from a 'soaker dam' that is reticulated to higher ground for gravity fed water to troughs and infrastructure is a property standout. There will be no need for additional shedding, as the property boasts a big lockup workshop barn, a three-sided machinery shed, and a large hay barn down on the flats ready to be stocked with all the hay the property will yield this coming summer. If you have been dreaming of a life less complicated, where you can grow so much in so many ways, a life where you control your services, and your immediate environment, then this could be that very special place you have been looking for. This property has so much to offer that only an inspection would allow all its features to come to light. To inspect this home on the edge of a world heritage wilderness area, please give us a call. We would love to show you through.
