Description
Our home is located on a lakeside 80 acre property, in Lorinna, in the North West of Tasmania.
50 acres is a spectacular protected forest nature reserve, with a 2.2 km walking track, which takes you down to Lake Cethana.
Fully off grid and we are moving towards sustainable living.
The property has an established orchard and a beautiful vegetable garden, all needing ongoing maintenance.
We have pets who are a big part of our life, chooks, geese, guinea pigs and 2 sheep!
