Short Property Description

Red Hill – these were the early years of the wine industry in a region full of export quality apple orchards. Cool climate, slow ripening late season fruit was the impetus for producing this region’s Method Champenoise in 1990 and a second example in 1992. Late disgorging, is financially difficult – especially during the Keating years when overdrafts attracted 18pc interest. Much hard work & some difficult decisions, enabled one to weather that economic storm.
Now on the NW coast of Tasmania sits a 5acre property. The soil is a rich, fertile, naturally deep of a brown to red colour. While beef cattle & sheep(meat) are grazed extensively, dairy cattle are also prominent.We have one, just a km away. Its milk goes to Cadbury.
My house has a tank to collect rain. 16 solar panels are on the roof. A bore provides year round, potable water, for irrigation of a Mediteranian vegetable garden. A small established orchard provides apples, pears, lemons, red grapes, Quince, kiwifruit & white peaches.

So come experience spring & summer in ELLIOTT.

Organic/Biological methods we use

I have lived on the property since late 2023 and am about to start preparing about an acre of land that will be market garden. No mechancial instruments are on the property so this will be done all by hand, it will be seed we sow rather than seedlings.
