Renowned for its high rainfall, fertile volcanic soils and lush green pastures, North Motton is a hidden gem in a beautiful location in North West Tasmania. This property offers a unique opportunity to join this small, friendly rural community, and to join the growing movement of people who value building a more sustainable and resilient climate future.
With its stunning rural vista of verdant green hills and the Dial Range forest, this farm property comprises a very generous 71 acres of rich red volcanic soils. Approximately half the property is pasture and the other half stunning remnant rainforest, with towering eucalypts and gullies of huge manferns. With a recent house fire sadly destroying the four bedroom, 1950's farmhouse, there are now endless opportunities to reimagine the next stage and possibilities for this special property (STCA).
The property is also conveniently located approximately 12 mins drive from the beautiful seaside town of Ulverstone. Ulverstone is an increasingly popular township with families and retirees alike, due to its beautiful beaches, medical facilities, good schools, parks and thriving cafe and arts culture. Further, the property is just over a 30 min drive to the larger North West Tasmanian towns of Burnie and Devonport. Both of these cities are predicted to experience significant growth in the coming years, with a number of substantial civic expansion projects planned.
Further points of interest:
- There are two permanent creeks running through the land, home to the endangered Giant Lobster, found only in NW Tasmania, and resident platypus. An abundance of other wildlife live in this bush, including the spotted quoll, Tasmanian Devil, pademelons and identified Wedge Tailed Eagle nest and habitat.
- The farm is located on a quiet, no-through road, with a beautiful rural aspect and spectacular views of the Dial Range and Mount Gnomon.
The original house site close to the road has been thoroughly cleared, and is ready for a rebuild. There are possibilities for other building sites on the land (STCA), some which would maximise the beauty of the rural views and views to Dial Range, and also have sea glimpses.
- Gratefully, significant building infrastructure survived the fire. Most importantly, the large shed/barn, with dimensions 12m x 8m, close to the road. The outlook from the doors of this barn directly takes in stunning views of the Dial Range.
- There is also a small outhouse dwelling which could be converted into temporary accommodation (STCA) whilst you build your dream home; or perhaps even develop a community space?
- There are 3 water tanks (2 concrete + one poly), and six fully fenced paddocks (2500m of fencing), with fencing repairs and updates done approximately 4 years ago (stand off wires and goat/sheep secure). The estimated replacement value of the infrastructure would be $255K (tanks $55K, fences $150K, shed $50K+).
- The pasture has been managed organically for the last 7 years. With some additional TLC, this pasture promises fertile and productive space from which to run cattle, sheep, goats or horses. In the recent past, it has consistently supported a herd of approximately 15 cattle.
- The cleared part of the property is divided into 8 fences paddocks as shown in one of the photos.
With many people from the Mainland migrating to Tasmania due to the milder climate, better possibilities for developing resilient food systems, the positive, sustainable lifestyle opportunities and friendly community atmosphere, this is a unique opportunity to purchase reasonably priced fertile farmland, and to make a positive lifestyle change.
