Ladybird Farm is 3.655 ha of enchanted forests and clearings looking for new humans to love and care for her, and to be nourished by her rich soils, tranquility and optional sustainable (though non-intentional) community life. 

Nestled in the Cradle region of north-west Tasmania with The Walls of Jerusalem close by and glimpses of Cradle Mountain overlooking the valley location, Lorinna (Ladybird Farm's home), is a flourishing off-the-grid organic/spray free farming and gardening locale of about 100 people. Both Mole Creek and Sheffield (the town of murals) are within easy scenic drives, and Devonport, the gateway to Tasmania, is an hour's drive to the north.

The hand-crafted homestead is a quirky 37-year-old with north facing and solar passive features, and a tucked away, 'end of lane' location with a permanent creek running through the southern border. Its presence on the landscape beckons entry, like a cosy nest waiting to be enjoyed. Inside are hidden surprises with tiny doorways hiding secret spaces and a 'top of the house' staircase leading to a tower where Shakespearian plays were once held, and children now play. 'Ladybird Tower', a perfect cubby, is a sanctuary for ladybirds and is where the farm gets its name. The home is a four bedroomed, one bathroomed dwelling offering the following features:
-	open plan kitchen/dining room with generous wooden benches, a wood fired stove used for cooking and heating the hot water system, a gas top, a solar hot water system, and an off-the-grid fridge.
-	large pantry on the south side of the kitchen with more bench space, shelving, and flour mill. 
-	on the north side of the kitchen is a double door that leads into a sun-drenched sunroom looking out onto the garden, farm, and forest.
-	a one cubic metre indoor wood-box in the sunroom, with a wall door opening outside.
-	convenient laundry-shoot from the adjacent large bathroom.
-	bath/shower, toilet, and a mass of storage cupboards in the bathroom.
-	second pantry on west side of house with shelves. 
-	light filled hallway, that leads to the south side of the house, as well as upstairs. Hallway houses a nook with a built-in-desk and bookshelves.
-	a generous storage room under the stairs. 
-	an office that overlooks a hedge of hazelnut trees, and a wood paddock of blackwood and silver wattle trees in the background.
-	a sun-drenched, generous sized lounge room.
-	a downstairs guest bedroom.
-	upstairs are three bedrooms, cubby room off one, walk-in-wardrobe off another, yoga room, drying room with hot water tank, and a door that encloses stairs leading to the ladybird tower.

Outside features include:
An electrically fenced large house yard with:
	- shed that encases a car space, workshop, small room to store lithium batteries and controls, pottery space (chimney still there), and ample shelving for farming materials, and back-up generator
	- infrastructure for hydro system ready to be assembled for year-round energy
	- a two-vehicle carport currently used to store firewood gathered from the property
	- fenced vegetable beds, compost bays, two polytunnels
	raspberries, gooseberries, thornless blackberries, red and black currant bushes, quince, peach and lemon trees 
	- two hedges of hazelnut trees
	- another fenced area with a chook yard, cherry, apple, and peach trees
       - herbs, and decorative bushes and trees, including large fire-retardant paulownia trees that keep the house cool in summer

-	year-round water supply from Oliver Creek, which gravity feeds to a two back-up 20,000L tanks providing all the water to the home and farm
-	stunning man ferns, towering blackwood and eucalypt trees are in the sanctuary of Oliver Creek on the southern border of the property
-	back-up 2 x 20 000 litre rainwater tanks with a water pump
-	large electric-fenced orchard with chicken shed, and a variety of apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, cherry, mulberry and hazelnut trees
- two ponds 
- forests and magical wildlife including a resident echidna, wombat, pademelons, herons
- four resident geese keeping the grass mown

If community is what you are looking for, Lorinna is a Tassie icon known for rich community life in the wilderness. Here is just some of what's on offer:

Yoga; aikido; art/craft making; bi-weekly food co-operative gatherings; fundraisers; music, theatre, and dance events in the hall and down at the lake; soccer games; film nights; pizza nights; a Lorinna Landcare group; and a variety of workshops.

Lake Cethana adjoins Lorinna and is the summer hotspot for swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, socialising, and platypus spotting. During the warmer months population swells and takes on an international flavour as retreat-goers are lured into Djore-Ling, the local Buddhist retreat centre, and WWOOFers come in from every corner of the planet to help on local farms, gardens, and natural builds. 

A strong home-schooling community of approximately twenty children adds to the sense of community life with heavy engagement with what's going on at any one time and with creative home-schooling contributions to everyday life.

This is a 'not to be missed' place where community meets wilderness and sojourning with one or the other, or both is on tap.
