Overview

Unique riverside Cherry Orchard 25 minutes from Hobart on the way to New Norfolk

Like a page out of a travel magazine, "Fallowfield Cherry Orchard" is considered to be a must see destination in Southern Tasmania over the summer months. Less than 25 minutes drive along the picturesque Lyell Highway heading towards New Norfolk in the beautiful Derwent Valley, this is a lifestyle property with exciting business possibilities. Renown for their quality product and long standing reputation, evident in the presentation and care of the orchard, the infrastructure and the main residence itself, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to reap the rewards of the current owners hard work over the past 31 years you just can't drive past! Set on just over 11 acres, the majority of this land is dedicated to the cherry orchards resting on the banks of the River Derwent while a small section of this land is divided into two paddocks fenced for deer! The main residence is beautiful, providing the perfect place to put your feet up after a day out in the orchard or recline in the gorgeous private garden setting. New kitchen and bathrooms, finished to a premium standard include walk in larder, Smeg electric oven with gas cooktop and cafe-style windows opening to the decked entertaining area complete with outdoor fireplace under the filtered canopy of the stunning established trees. The home itself is spacious with a mix of its original charm in the huge lounge complete with vaulted pine ceilings and a brick feature wall and cosy wood heater through to the contemporary kitchen/bathrooms and bedrooms. There is additional attic space, easily accessible and currently used by the owners as an art studio, but could be a fabulous storage space or utility area. There really is nothing to do to this homestead style home before you move in! A front verandah creates a dry and welcome entrance with fenced areas to keep dogs and young children safely around the house. A gorgeous potting shed is perfect for cutting flowers from the verdant and very colourful gardens. The extensive outbuildings are close by and have been designed specifically around harvesting, sorting, packing, storing and selling cherries and all that this horticultural pursuit encompasses. Complete with existing infrastructure and agricultural equipment necessary to continue operating this reputable cherry orchard, the high-profile location and riverside setting is more than idyllic. Road sales with high volume passing traffic and sales direct to the public on a small scale, this is your chance to enjoy the seasonal work associated with producing cherries at this small orchard while continuing your every-day profession in the off-season. Call me today for your own private viewing of this exceptional unique riverside property.
