"Willowdene" is an 1091 acre farm currently run as a dairy enterprise milking 460 cows - plus it has another two small sources of secondary income. With access to a secure and reliable water allocation from the Derwent River and on-farm storage, this property could easily lend its self to further diversification. There is also an opportunity to purchase a further allocation off the local water authority, if you require.

The investment in a 50-head automated DeLaval rotary dairy five years ago has provided the current owners with significant labor efficiencies as it can be run with only one operator. An Alpro automated feeding system is a feature of this modern dairy, as it enables you to feed each cow individually to ensure efficient use of feed relative to production performance.

The paddocks are well fenced and have a good fertilizer history. The pastures are a mixture of improved and native varieties and all paddocks are serviced by a pressurized trough system. "Willowdene" is watered by combination of K-Line's, spray and flood irrigation.

There are two comfortable, large family homes on the property and another moderately sized workman's cottage - all located a good distance from each other. "Willowdene" fronts the Lyell Highway and offers the convenience of a school bus services literally going past the front gate.

"Willowdene" is situated literally one minute from the heart of Hamilton in the beautiful Central Highlands of Tasmania which is just over one hour's drive from Hobart or two-and-a-half hours from Queenstown on the West Coast.

The property is offered for sale with the opportunity to purchase stock, machinery and other assets at value. If you are looking at "Willowdene" as an investment the current management team would consider staying on in a farm management role if required.
