Description: Set on approximately 11.9 hectares in the sought-after Dilston area and only 15 minutes from Launceston CBD, Lees Orchard is a long-established and highly regarded horticultural enterprise, with a history dating back to 1916. The orchard produces a diverse mix of apples (8 varieties), pears (3 varieties) and cherries (4 varieties), with a further 600 pear trees to be planted this season. Recent production highlights include 17,453kg of cherries and 911 bins of apples, supported by strong wholesale demand and a successful "pick your own" cherry operation. The property is well equipped for efficient, self-sufficient production, featuring a large sorting shed, three cool rooms with approx. 400 bin capacity and one 100 bin capacity cool room (1,300 bin total) , grading equipment for apples and cherries and an automatic irrigation system with fertigation. Water is supplied via on-site dams and mains, with dam water servicing the cherry crop. A deposit has been paid to secure a further 20ML from the pending Tamar Irrigation Scheme. Harvest windows are well structured, with cherries picked from mid-December to mid/late January, followed by apples and pears from mid/late February through to early May. Offered as a walk-in, walk-out opportunity with plant and equipment included and experienced staff willing to remain, the business presents a seamless transition. A separate title includes a 4 bedroom weatherboard home, currently leased at $450 per week, providing additional income.
