For buyers hunting for the luxury of space — combined with pure luxury in their new home, too — look no further than this Acton Park property.

Life on an acreage affords a property owner opportunities that are not available when living in a more densely populated suburb. And the owners of No.87 Tara Dr have made the most of this with a zoo-worth of animals living on their property, including horses, peacocks, dogs, a parrot, a miniature donkey, and goats.

They have a working deer farm that could be available to purchase if the next owner wishes. However, the rest of the animals — including a pet duck named Bill — will be moving on with the current owners.

Listing agent Andrew Wells, property partner at The Agency Hobart, said there is always strong demand for Tasmanian lifestyle properties.

“Acton Park, in particular, is a highly desired suburb for this type of home,” he said.

“Among the many impressive aspects of this property is that it needs nothing; it’s ready to move in right away. Every I has been dotted and T crossed.

“It is such a well-put-together home, highlighted by an indoor-outdoor entertainment space and a swimming pool with great views.

“It has outbuildings in place, the grounds have been well maintained, and you are five-minutes to the beach or quickly up the highway into the city.

“For people with automotive hobbies, the garage might be the feature that impresses them the most. It’s a rare find.”
