A Scamander lifestyle opportunity deserving your careful consideration

Situated just minutes from the Scamander township is a property offering a secluded lifestyle opportunity rarely seen on Tasmania’s stunning East Coast. Eureka Farm includes two titles encompassing approximately 21Ha of natural coastal bush, an established working multi-variety orchard and three separate dwellings. The property is situated in a pristine valley surrounded by native bush, while being just a few kilometres from beaches, and 1km from both the Tasman Highway and the Scamander River. The East Coast’s major centre of St Helens is just 20kms to the north.
Eureka Farm has been the home and business for the current owners for the past thirty-two years. Carved from the native bush through careful planning, the owners have developed a berry and fruit farm with value adding through their restaurant and manufacturing operations. The future opportunities to continue these activities and/or enter other eco-tourism activities are open to your imagination. Taking advantage of the close proximity of Eureka Farm to the stunning Scamander River and pristine surf beaches, eco-tourism, short term accommodation, farm stay, family home or continued orchard operation are just some of the options available to you.
The property encompasses two adjoining titles (3.42ha and 17.3ha), each containing a combination of orchard and natural bushland, as well as multiple dwellings, shedding and plant. Three accommodation options include the one-bedroom main house (incorporating a shop front), a three-bedroom house and a two-bedroom bungalow. The stand-alone three-bedroom home and bungalow have regular holiday accommodation bookings. All dwellings are fully self-contained and are offered with the possible option of remaining fully furnished.
The three sheds contain the plant for a working orchard, including two cool rooms, dry store, office, bathrooms, pallet storage, packaging areas and two commercial kitchens. One of the commercial kitchens has been utilised for manufacturing preserves, ice creams and deserts, while the other services the retail cafe area.
The orchard plantings currently include numerous apple and pear varieties, cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants, raspberries, plums, apricots and blueberries. An outstanding feature of the property is the 14 million litre (14,000m3) catchment dam scenically located in a forest. The East Coast of Tasmania can be very dry and not many places in this area have a reliable water supply. This water can easily water the orchards and other areas through an irrigation system with sand filter, drip irrigations, a fertigation facility and pumps where needed.
Near the primary residence there is a green house, electrical control room, electric fences, fire hoses and three bay implement shed. A 20Kw solar panel array considerably reduces the running costs of this unique farm. Solar hot water is also provided for the shop area.
In addition to the two impressive titles currently on offer, should you wish, there is the opportunity to enter in negotiations, to purchase the property inclusive of an additional two titles that complete the Eureka Farm area. The vendors also offer the opportunity to have a hand-over period (by negotiation) to allow the new owners to fully appreciate where the farm has come from and the future opportunities it represents.
Scamander has always been a mecca for sun-seeking holiday-makers and is currently a fast-growing centre for families seeking a lifestyle change. With famous surf beaches, surf and river fishing, cafes, restaurants, pharmacy, fuel station and super market, world class mountain bike trails just 15 minutes away and the vibrant town of St Helens 20 minutes away, Scamander is a wonderful part of Tasmania's East Coast to live.
Should you wish to hit the ground running and continue the business in place, there is the opportunity to adopt Eureka Farm's online presence, including their website and online store.
