First developed in 2001 the Inapari Alpacas stud in Leslie Vale, a beautiful, semi-wooded hanging valley on the slopes of Mount Wellington is only 12 minutes from Hobart via the Southern Outlet expressway. It is easily accessible from the Huon Valley Expressway, the tourist route leading to Tasmania's famous apple-growing district and the Tahune Airwalk. It thus has excellent public exposure for commercial activities (e.g. a shop outlet for farm products or farm-stay accommodation) if required.
Our property is ideally situated at ~980ft above sea level. In this location the animals have the advantage of a slightly colder climate for maximum fleece production. The plentiful rainfall, mountain-fed stream and dam provide rich pasture year round and water a large, productive vegetable garden.
Inapari consists of 5 acres of fertile river flat and gently undulating land, fed by a permanently flowing creek bringing water from the upper slopes of Mount Wellington.
An active tree-planting program both complements the existing garden-like layout and provides shelter for the animals. (click here for photos page). An additional 2.6 acres immediately adjacent is currently leased for $90 per month, adding to the available grazing land.
There is a very attractive home with up to 5 double sized bedrooms, with country-style kitchen, under-floor heating in three rooms, large lounge-dining room with combustion fan-forced heater, north-facing patio living area at rear, and an easy-maintenance but delightful garden with bulbs, flowering shrubs and copious silver birches.
Adjacent is a double carport, large lockable shed and wood shed. Wood is available on the property.
The property has in the past sustained a herd of up to 30 alpacas with shelter sheds in each paddock, an alley-way system and 13 paddocks with excellent near-new fencing, making for easy and flexible handling of animals. Three large storage barns, and a new double-sliding door shearing or storage shed provide copious storage.
The property has been adapted for optimal animal husbandry work which are laid out to blend into the environment. Inapari has been designed as an ideal demonstration property, suitable for Agricultural Science or Veterinary Science groups and school parties, as well as for public open days and demonstrations. 150 people a year visit the property in groups of up to 50 at a time.
Although recently operating as an alpaca breeding stud, Inapari would be suitable for any small farm enterprise. The commercial side of the alpaca fleece industry increasingly focuses on white animals, but we did not do so. We are strong believers in breeding quality coloured stud animals.
River loan produces a amazing variety of quality vegetables for the family since the development of the vegetable garden over the last 3 years.
