A generational opportunity to acquire an historic Midlands irrigation holding
Situated just minutes off the Midland Highway from Jericho and about 55 minutes from the airport and Hobart.
"Rosehill" is an aggregate of 3 properties that create a productive cropping, breeding and finishing platform underpinned by an impressive irrigation system.
Central to the operation is a circa 1834 five bedroom sandstone homestead and outbuildings built by renowned Scottish stonemason Andrew Bell. 2 dormer bedrooms upstairs and 3 downstairs, all accessed off a large sunny kitchen and living area with views out to the east and north of the property.
In addition there are 3 farm cottages, a new 5 stand Perkinz design shearing shed, large sheep handling facilities and 500 tonnes of grain storage.
"Rosehill" has a wealth of water. 552 hectares of the property is under centre pivot irrigation supplied with water from 300 megalitres of Tasmanian Irrigation Scheme winter water and a 3,500 megalitre in-stream dam on the ever reliable Exe Rivulet. Catchment for this waterway begins at the 1,092m Table Mountain that can be seen to the north.
Historically a third of the irrigable area, usually about 130 hectares, has been utilised for cash cropping. Beans, poppies, dual purpose wheat and barley have been the crops of choice. The balance irrigable land has been used to fatten the cross bred and merino wether lambs bred on the property from the 6,500 ewes joined annually.
"Rosehill" is among the top suppliers of lamb to the Coles Graze program. Utilising the irrigation the property is able to consistently produce high quality, large weekly drafts of 25kg lambs, with the merino wether lambs being finished to weights in excess of 20kg.
Rarely does the opportunity to acquire such a sound historic Midlands irrigation and grazing property arise. Properties such as "Rosehill" are well held for their historic improvements, quality soils, prime location and the potential upside provided by a water resource of an unrivalled scale.
"Rosehill" is offered for sale by Expressions of Interest closing midday, 22nd May 2026
