ULTIMATE LIFESTYLE TREE CHANGE PROPERTY IN LILYDALE, NORTH TASMANIA


20 acre rural property within easy walking distance to the lovely township of Lilydale and only 20 minutes drive to Launceston.

The property includes 12 acres of tall timbered bush literally at the foot of the very scenic Mt Arthur. The bush area is accessible by car via a good access track right to the back of the property. The vegetation is regrowth with some areas left untouched for over half a century, and there is certainly enough wood for the fireplace. The bush block has a ridgeline that offers views north to north-west over the township of Lilydale and beyond. We often have a Sunday afternoon barbeque up there watching the sunset and enjoying the sounds and smells of the bush.

The flat part of the property has 7.5 acres of fenced paddocks separated from the bush by a permanent clear mountain stream where we get our water supply from. The stream is full of aquatic life including the Giant Tasmanian Freshwater Lobster, Mt Arthur Burrowing Crayfish, a visiting platyus, occasional trout, frogs and lizards.

The paddocks are in good condition with old fences taken down to create one large paddock. The adjoining property also offers an additional 5 acres of paddocks for agistment if required.

The home garden area has a few remnants of an established apple orchard, a large fenced vegetable garden with top quality natural soil, a fenced chicken house, woodshed, three bay garage, separate office studio, outdoor laundry, and tool shed. The yard has mature Birch trees and new garden areas allowing views from inside the house out over the landscape.

The house is a three bedroom two storey cottage with open plan living downstairs, wood heater, new contemporary kitchen, newly refurbished bathroom, large enclosed sunroom, veranda facing west and rural views from all windows. Up stairs has three bedrooms with cathedral ceilings to the two end rooms and a bathroom with toilet and basin.

This lovely property is an easy walk to or a quick 2 min drive to Lilydale where there is a state school from kindergarten to grade 10, IGA supermarket, takeaway, cafe, pub, chemist, post office, hairdresser, service station, produce store, hardware, rural fire brigade and recreational oval ⁄ footy club.
