2151 Blessington Road Blessington TAS 7212

Well-known "Ballroom" at Blessington, a renowned property in the rich agricultural heartland of Northern Tasmania. Spanning approximately 153.2 hectares (378 acres) on a single title, this diverse farm boasts an extensive frontage along the North Esk River, presenting a unique mix of productive farming land and lifestyle opportunities. This property features fertile pastures for grazing, areas of untouched native bush, and a significant stretch along the peaceful North Esk River. Its agricultural capabilities are bolstered by a substantial 85 ML dam, fed by a creek, which along with river access, provides a reliable source of water for both irrigation purposes and livestock, enhanced by a comprehensive gravity-fed system for paddock troughs and domestic garden use.

"Ballroom" is notably efficient, with annual yields of 120 round bales of hay and 70 bales of wrapped silage, underpinning its solid productivity. The farm is currently home to a conservative flock of 200 lambing ewes, indicating sustainable grazing practices with room for scaling up operations to increase livestock numbers. The existing infrastructure is well-suited for both cattle and sheep farming, comprising a large covered hay shed and a functional shearing shed, with adaptable stockyards.

Discover the low-maintenance charm of the 3-bedroom homestead, recently updated to include a modern kitchen, bathroom and laundry with extensive storage in laundry and study. An efficient wood heater and split system air conditioner maintains a year-round cosy and comfortable environment. The home offers a versatile floorplan that perfectly complements the property's relaxed lifestyle with a large north facing covered patio off a functional sunroom. Surrounded by a mature garden featuring fruit trees and a veggie patch, all surrounded by vermin proof fencing. A Jackson's security system has been installed in the house and sheds. There are four strategically interconnected water tanks for reliable supply to the house.

Beyond the farm's agricultural opportunities, the lifestyle potential is truly exceptional. The North Esk River teems with trout, and lucky observers may even catch a glimpse of the resident platypus. Relax on the back deck, fishing rod in hand or a glass of red from nearby wineries or explore the deer hunting opportunities. For outdoor enthusiasts, nearby Ben Lomond invites skiing adventures, just under 30 minutes away.
Boasting a strategic location, Launceston Airport is a mere 25-minute drive, and the bustling Launceston CBD is only 30 minutes away. The property is well serviced for internet, Telstra landline, television and the School Bus goes past the front gate.

A "walk in, walk out" opportunity can be negotiated, if required.
