860 Tor Hill Road, Ouse, Tas 7140

"Blackwood" is a quality holding 9km east of Ouse and 20km west of Bothwell, in an elevated position out of the valley floor.

Currently carrying 2,750 scanned in lamb composite ewes (any dry ewes have recently been moved off the property) and 100 Angus cows, "Blackwood" is in magnificent heart with good stands of quality feed heading into spring. It is subdivided into over 40 paddocks with reticulated stock water to all supplied from a large reliable dam. In addition to the livestock there is 20 hectares of barley, 15 hectares of poppies and 17 hectares of lucerne.

"Blackwood" comprises of:
• 120ha of rich dryland cropping soils
• 340ha sown to excellent stands of improved grass and clover species
• 260ha of native grasslands capable of being sown to improved species for further carrying capacity gains
• 285ha of native country providing invaluable shelter and roughage in the grazing rotation

The homestead, that is currently let, is a 1970's architect designed 3 bedroom home with a northern orientation and expansive views of the Upper Derwent Valley. The established gardens surrounding it adds to the charm of the location.
In addition there is a 4 stand shearing shed with ample shedding capacity and well laid out sheep yards, extensive cattle handling facilities and an excellent compliment of sound steel farm sheds.

NB:  "Blackwood" has been identified as a sight of significance for wind power generation and as such there is a proposal to erect 9 turbines on the property once the relevant statutes have been met and permits have been approved.

"Blackwood" has an expression of interest lodged for 400 megalitres in the proposed Lake Echo irrigation scheme that is currently in its due diligence phase.

As a stand alone property, a breeding property for livestock to be finished elsewhere, or to grow bulk of feed over the spring/summer as a winter run-off block, "Blackwood" is a quality holding with a sound management history and a proven track record of carrying capacity.

Expressions of interest are to be submitted to the Vendors Agent by midday 26th September 2025.
