In fact, these trees are more than just a scenic addition to the landscape. Every five years, the 90-acre eucalyptus niten plantation could rake in up to $100,000 for the lucky homeowner. 

The plantation is leased out to a company, which gives the owner a chunky payout when the harvest is in. In effect, the owners have a real-life money tree in their backyard. 

Weona is now on the market for offers over $1.1 million. It’s a steep price for property in this part of the world, but you could get a lot of bang for your buck. 

The estate comes with two separate dwellings: an 1880s woodchopping hall that is now a four-bedroom family house, and a separate granny flat. 

Each home comes with a wood-burning stove, sleek modern kitchen, and panoramic views over the surrounding fields. 

Outside, there is a spring-fed lake that comes with a romantic island and footbridge. 

There’s no shortage of space on this property, with 50 acres of cleared pastures, two fenced paddocks, and 90 acres of forest. 

“Whether you are looking to buy with family or friends, you simply entertain a lot or wish to buy a property with potential income generation, this one could be your answer,” the listing reads. 

“This is one huge slice of Tassie paradise with endless potential for growth and making memories with family and friends.”
