All the elements combine to create an exceptional cultivation property. Highly fertile, elevated, well-drained soil, a northerly aspect and abundant water have been developed into a productive avocado farm by one of the best brains in the business.
Live the way you've always wanted enjoying commanding views from the historic, private colonial homestead, the clear, crystal waters of Amamoor Creek or relax at the end of the day in the gazebo atop "Thunderbolt Ridge".
The 45.99 Ha (113 acre approx.) property on 2 titles is planted with over 5,000 avocado trees ranging in age from 2 to 23 years with the 75% of the older trees re-grafted. The varieties comprise Hass, Wurtz, Reed, Fuerte and Shepard.
The trees are irrigated via 100 mm PVC servicing trickle tape to trees via gravity fee from 4 x 5000 gal concrete header tanks. The water is supplied from 2 licences to Amamoor Creek and 1 licence to Diamondfield creek (included). Two bores are also present; one is equipped with a submersible pump.
All infrastructure to support a productive avocado farm is present. There are 3 large zincalume sheds with concrete floors; one forms the main packing shed including machinery room and cold room. All machinery (fruit weight grader, irrigation motor, tractors, carry-alls, chipper, cultivator, bailer, trailers, fertiliser spreader, stick rake, rotavatror, mist blower, mulcher, ripper, slashers sprayer, cherry pickers, fork lifts, front-end loader attachment, hay bale forks, pallet forks etc.) is included in the sale price (a full list is available on request).
The farm is currently run by a part-time farm manager who would be willing to stay on for the new owners who could choose between picking, packing and marketing themselves or outsource to Natures Fruit Company to do the aforementioned and concentrate on a relaxed lifestyle.
The rest of the property is mostly cleared to grass with fenced paddocks offering the option to run some cattle or horses.
The historic weatherboard home featuring polished floors offers large bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, central hallway, lounge/ dining area, kitchen/ meals and 2 bathrooms, one with spa bath. Expansive covered verandas offer a breathtaking view across the valley and the largest gatherings are accommodated with the extended open deck.
This Mary Valley opportunity, a true lifestyle with income property, must be seen.
