This property has been SOLD.
Re-offered for genuine sale on a WIWO basis including in excess of 300 mixed cattle, 2 titles, it is centrally located with double bitumen road frontage and carrying a good stand of fresh feed.
Plumwood Station is a centrally situated and well developed cattle station carrying a good fresh stand of grass and stylos. It is being offered with 300 head of good quality Brahman cattle and a working plant.
The property has been in the same family for over 50 years and has benefited from continued development of new fencing and water which ensures ease of management through varying seasonal conditions. The secure water supply, both natural and developed is considered a feature that provides security in the most modest of seasons.
The property will be offered on a Walk in Walk out basis including 300 head of good quality Brahman cattle and an extensive working plant. The herd are predominantly grey polled genetics and the condition and size of all the cattle including calves is a strong sign as to the productive capability of Plumwood. The plant and machinery included in this offering range from heavy machinery to general tools.
The property is dissected by the Burdekin Falls Dam Highway and has double bitumen road access as a result. The country located on the eastern side of the highway is described as undulating into hills with granite soils with areas of alluvial flats; the western side is described as flat to undulating predominantly made up of darker alluvial and clay soils. All areas of the property are usable. It is predominantly timbered through the granite areas however opening up more through the alluvial areas. The mix of soil types provides a variance in pastures with stylos mixed throughout.
Plumwood Station provides the owner with an opportunity to either breed or background cattle for the easily accessible live export and store markets. It is carrying a good stand of feed currently that continues to grow after good recent rain. Whilst being offered with only 300 cattle the property is well understocked with the owners estimate of long term carrying capacity of 450 breeders or adult equivalent under a program where weaners are removed and replacements are held.
In addition to the recent rain, the positive attributes such as the size, being sold WIWO, the 2 titles and importantly the close and accessible nature of Plumwood Station combine to mean this would be a sound investment, as it appeals to either the smaller standalone operators; the non-resident owner or the person looking to start out. It is well located and versatile and would be a valuable addition to an existing operation or equally to a person looking to start out in the industry.
It is described as an easy to manage property with sound improvements, good all year round access with a mix of country and pastures providing the benefit of versatility to either the breeding or backgrounding operation in most seasons.
