2280 E Tamar Hwy, Mount Direction TAS 7252, Australia

Bountiful orchards, lush swathes of pasture, a stand of soaring Eucalypts, and a well-appointed chalet-style farmhouse. If that isn’t enough- how about a $50k part-time income generated from passing traffic sales? (The property is located on a popular tourist route and only fifteen minutes from Launceston!)  If you’re willing to put in the hours, you’ll certainly reap the rewards with this incredibly viable property. Exceptionally well-maintained, but nowhere near its earning capacity, a little (or a lot!) of hard work will see you and your family spending restful evenings by the fire in your comfortable home while the dollars roll in!
