3) This house has not been offered for sale for over 50 years.
Those of you who know Derby will know this house that sits literally by the Trail head where long term resident 'Budgie' can be seen on his front deck taking in the passing parade of all the Mountain Biking action any day of the week. He's probably given you a nod as you ride past or his cheeky grin and a few kind words if you've had an injury because he's seen a few going past now. It's been fifty years that Budgie and his lovely Wife have lived here but now it's time to move on.
This three bedroom weatherboard home sits on 936m2 and features an open plan kitchen, living & dining room all heated by a freestanding Saxon wood heater. The kitchen/dining area has recently re-polished floor boards and some upgraded cabinetry in a timeless white, providing masses of storage with a large corner pantry.
The bathroom and laundry are in a separate building just off the back door and feature a shower over bath, vanity and toilet off a spacious laundry.
The property has been re-roofed, re-wired and the French Drain to the septic tank has been upgraded, so some of your big renovation money has already been spent.
Derby is home to the Blue Derby Trails which is widely recognised as Australia's mountain biking capital, confirmed by the returning Enduro World Series (EWS) to be held next month.
Derby is 34 km from Scottsdale and 95 km to Launceston. According to local Council (Dorset) who track visitor numbers, 30,000 visitors rode the trails last year and approximately 50,000 are expected this year. Tourism is booming in NE Tasmania with Internationally ranked Barnbougle and Lost Farm Golf courses, wineries and of course MTB trails on our doorstep.
Let's be clear, residential properties in Derby seldom become available, let alone in this prime location. As always in Derby, first in best dressed.
