Ample, secure and proven water resource available from two sources;
• Gascoyne Water Cooperative water entitlement of 29,000kL, connected and delivered to the main concrete-constructed water storage tank to the Southern side of the property.

This is accessible via two bores, both fully operational and in good condition, each actively delivering water to the property via two main irrigation lines in place to support each bore. Each line runs North-South, parallel to each other, servicing the whole property.

The land is also suitable for a broad range of other crops, providing excellent flexibility for a new owner to continue the existing operation or diversify into other produce. Various fruit trees are also established on the South side of the property, most notably 160 producing mango trees and some citrus trees.
