6941 Huon Highway, Dover, Tas 7117

Consisting of 6 acres (2.537ha) of rolling pastures with a creek on the western fence-line and the Dover Rivulet as the bottom boundary, this idyllic farm has a lot to offer. The home is a traditional Tasmanian 1960s farmhouse built in hardwood and upgraded to provide open plan living, a spacious central modern bathroom and 2 good sized bedrooms. The refurbished kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop and the original pantry stands ready to be stocked with home preserves. Out the back is a sunny enclosed area great for sitting back with a good cup of tea or coffee.

Perfect for those happy to simply look over the grassy pastures that are easily maintained by a few sheep and an annual hay harvest of 50 large round bales, the fertile soils will also appeal to passionate gardeners and horticulturalists. There are fruit trees, veggie enclosures, a garden shed/workshop and a small, covered stockyard. The chicken coop is all set-up providing farm fresh eggs for breakfast and the garden can supply plenty of home grown produce.

Next to the home on one side is a huge 16m x 7m shed with three phase power, 15-amp outlets, overhead heat lamps and a rustic firebox. There is a solar array on the roof, to help cut back on power bills. The property has dual access that loops around making it super convenient when towing a trailer. This also makes it possible to separate the shed from the home, should you be thinking of using one yourself and renting the other out. With both assets already metered separately, this is easy and practical.

Water security is assured with a small dam located in the middle of the property and the rivulet at the bottom, which flows year-round, is a very appealing bonus. In the warmer months, the rivulet is a beautiful spot to picnic with friends and family under the willow trees. There is a resident platypus, native fish, turbo chooks grazing on the alluvial flats and a pair of Wedgetail eagles that patrol the wooded hills.

Located within the town precinct with views across the town to the waters of beautiful Port Esperance, this property is just a stroll down the road to the shops and cafes. The multipurpose medical centre is close by and provides added surety and convenience. Nearly opposite is the local school and down the road a couple of minutes by car, are the beautiful beaches of Dover. Great for swimming, kayaking and boating, the bay is very picturesque, or enjoy fishing from the local wharf where working boats still unload lobsters and abalone for mainland markets. Dover is right on the edge of the great southern wilderness and provides a stepping stone to some of Tasmania’s iconic bushwalks.
