PREMIUM IRRIGATION - CIRCULAR HEAD REGION
LAWD is pleased to present for sale Reston (the Property), a premium dairy and intensive farming opportunity underpinned by substantial water entitlements and red basalt soil types, located in Tasmania’s highly productive Circular Head region.
KEY INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
• Comprising 347* hectares of premium agricultural land underpinned by fertile red soils and reliable rainfall, ideally suited to dairy or high-value cropping (potatoes, onions, carrots and poppies).
• Historically operated as a dairy and capable of carrying up to 600* milking cows with appropriate capital investment. The holding is well suited to a mixed farming model, combining a smaller-scale dairy herd alongside complementary cropping operations.
• Developed to improved pastures (307* hectares), including centre pivot irrigation (126* hectares), providing reliable year-round production.
• Substantial water entitlements include 517* megalitres of surface water, supplied via irrigation dams (six) across the holding.
• Excellent irrigation infrastructure, comprising six centre pivots covering 126* hectares, with the majority less than five years old.
• Currently supplying milk direct to Mondelez (Cadbury).
• Year-round fodder production capabilities provide a reliable, costeffective feed source, including hay and silage.
• Benefitted by reliable rainfall, (average annual rainfall of 1,082* millimetres) as well as dual frontage to both Kings Creek and Grays Creek which traverse the holding.
• Fit-for-purpose structural improvements include a 26-a-side Herringbone dairy with 16,000* litre milk vat, calf sheds (two), rural shedding and associated yards.
• Quality operational infrastructure supports the productivity of the landholding, including an efficient laneway network with multiple access points, concrete livestock water troughs servicing all 64 paddocks, well-developed fencing, three-phase power, three power units and backup generators to ensure operational continuity in all conditions.
• Four main residences provide substantial on-farm accommodation including a four-bedroom dwelling (one) and three-bedroom dwellings (three), utilised by staff.
• The holding enjoys prominent vistas over Bass Straight and Stanley.
• Predominantly fertile, free-draining red basalt soils, well suited to intensive agriculture, complemented by a smaller portion of sandy flats to the north-west.
• Situated within one of Tasmania’s key dairy and cropping regions, highly regarded for its productive fertile soils, reliable rainfall and temperate climate ensuring efficient production.
• Close to major dairy processing facilities including Saputo (Smithton), Fonterra (Wynyard) and Cadbury’s (Burnie) as well as saleyards located at Powranna.
• Located in proximity to multiple key townships and cities, including Smithton (seven* linear kilometres), Stanley (nine* linear kilometres), Wynard (47* linear kilometres), Burnie (63* linear kilometres), Devonport (103* linear kilometres), Launceston (175* linear kilometres) and Hobart (285* linear kilometres).
Reston is being offered for sale by Expression of Interest closing at 12pm (AEDT) Thursday 4 December 2025.
