This is the first time this land has been on the open market since the 1860s, with six generations of the same farming family having worked it since, as part of the historic "Valleyfield" property.
The new owner of this title could enjoy a lazy half-hectare of picture-book views extending to the banks of the Huon River and beyond, encompassing postcard-worthy township landmarks. Conveniently located just 9 minutes from Huonville and 500m from the leafy Glen Huon Primary School, Hobart is also only a 36-minute drive away.
Renovations were completed on the circa 1930s house in 2021, producing a new kitchen and bathroom. For the project-inclined, the original hardwood framing gives very solid bones to work with.
For someone keen to get their hands dirty and make use of the land, there are 1.4 acres of alluvial soil to use for production. Undulating topography would also support the creation of stunning ornamental gardens.

Glen Huon is nestled in Tasmania's beautiful Huon Valley, on the upstream reaches of the Huon River as it winds through farmland after leaving the Southwest World Heritage Area. Embodying the quintessential charm of a rural township, surrounded by lush green hills, majestic forests, and the moody waters of the Huon River, this picturesque township features a tapestry of colours and textures that change with the seasons. Whether you're exploring local artisans' work, sampling the region's renowned produce, or simply basking in the tranquillity of the valley, Glen Huon is a true Tasmanian gem in which to settle.
Headline attractions within a 15-minute drive include Willie Smith's Cider House, The Kiln, Summer Kitchen Bakery and a selection of cozy cafes in the area. The region comes alive during the Cygnet Folk Festival, celebrating music, art, and community. The Taste of the Huon in Ranelagh showcases local produce and craft annually. The Huon Agricultural Show follows the traditional recipe with a mix of attractions for the whole family. A scenic drive in any direction will uncover other charming townships, each with its own character, like Franklin with its rich maritime history, or Judbury with its community-driven market right on the bank of the Huon River. A little further, you will be taken into national parks to explore the rugged beauty of the Southwest Wilderness Area.
Glen Huon is the perfect base within Huon's mix of culture, cuisine, bucolic and wild landscapes.
