A double lock-up garage and timber garden shed offers secure storage options for vehicles or gardening equipment.
Named by Governor Macquarie after the Duke of York, York Plains was very close to the main road between Hobart and Launceston. However, by 1836, convict road gangs had completed the alternative route (what we now call the 'old Midlands Highway'), and York Plains was effectively bypassed. By the end of the nineteenth century, the population of the York Plains district had grown considerably, with a state school and post office servicing the district. By 1968, the York Plains Post Office had closed, and the community of York Plains nowadays is mainly made up of farming families who work the land of the nearby farms of this address. 878 York Plains is only a 10-minute drive to Oatlands and is one and half hours' drive from Launceston and Hobart.
Suitable for a wide range of buyers from the short-stay accommodation market to the retirees seeking the peace and quiet of the Midlands, 878 York Plains Road is a beautifully presented country character cottage. To arrange an inspection, feel free to contact Nick Hay at Harcourts Northern Midlands
