Premium Lifestyle, Water Security & Boutique Agricultural Capability
Bronzewing Farm is a picturesque 21.5 hectare holding in the Underwood/Lilydale district, blending strong lifestyle appeal with genuine agricultural capability and easy access to Launceston and Lilydale. The well-built 3 bedroom home is highly efficient, with predominantly double glazing, a heat transfer system and a 7.5kW solar array supported by two Tesla batteries, making the property largely self-reliant. More than 100,000 litres of water is dedicated to the home and gardens.
Water security is exceptional. A reliable bore supplies the 2 large greenhouses, while a spring fed network delivers around 620,000 litres to storage, which feeds the Pepperberry dripper system. All paddocks benefit from gravity-fed stock water via dual water points and multiple natural watercourses feed several waterholes across the farm.
The agricultural setup is strong, with quality pastures, good soils, well positioned stockyards, a small shearing shed, open bay machinery shed, multiple garages and storerooms, plus a freestanding staff room with kitchenette and bathroom. A versatile, double-story barn currently supports Pepperberry processing.
Commercial production of select high 'heat' cultivars of Tasmanian Mountain Pepper (as both the exquisite freeze-dried pepper berries and the air-dried peppercorns) started in February 2011. New plantings and replacement plantings are continuing but mature planting now total over 1,600 females with the yields of the best cultivars ranging from 1-2 kg (fresh berries) in an 'off year' to 3-10 kg in an 'on' year. The expected yield of dried Tasmanian DEVIL® Mountain Pepper is over 500 kg/year by 2027.
A pocket of native timber adds character, featuring old growth White Gum, Blackwood, Tasmanian Mountain Pepper and Man Ferns. Some more information on the 3 acre reserve can be seen in the YouTube video "Guardians of the Glen".
Bronzewing Farm will appeal to buyers seeking a productive livestock-ready lifestyle property as well as those interested in environmentally conscious horticulture. Its self-sufficiency, strong infrastructure and proximity to Launceston broaden its appeal across lifestyle, agricultural and boutique production buyer pools.
