The income is deprived from the 1.1 ha of certified organic blueberries (2,200 plants) established 15 years ago. If purchased prior to the start of harvest in around mid December, this years approximate $100,000 gross income is included in the sale. Currently producing 4 tonne of berries, recent plantings should see that double within 5 years with a more than doubling of income. The berries are easily managed by one person, part time and using casual labour during harvest. 3 Permanent spring dams (with the odd platypus) and a bore means the property is drought proof. All infrastructure is established to a very high level, including a processing/packing shed, a fully equipped workshop and machinery shed.

The house mixes double glazing, passive solar design, Blackwood floors with a cosy wood stove. A 3kw solar array and solar/hydronic hot water further enhance the live-ability and low power costs for home and business.

The location is only 5 minutes to the Tamar River, 10 minutes to a boat ramp, 15 minutes to both surf and safe beaches. The 44 acres (18ha) of mixed coastal bush, provides a private and quiet living environment but also the area to expand the blueberries or plant a vineyard in this the Tamar Valley food basket. Adjacent to large areas of Ti tree provides excellent beekeeping opportunities.
For a family with growing active children, the property would be ideal for trail and mountain bikes as well as horse riding.
The property is offered as lifestyle house and land package. The current owners are committed to work with new owners to maintain organic certification and sustainable growth and success.
