LOCATION: Ideally located just *50 km from Rockhampton, offering a great opportunity to take advantage of Rockhampton’s selling centres and meatworks facilities.
AREA & TENURE: Lot 128 on Crown Plan DS207 – *268.307 hectares (*663 acres), comprising one Freehold title.
CULTIVATION: The cultivation country is primarily developed Brigalow land, extensively levelled for production. Two centre pivots are a prominent feature, with one irrigating *180 acres and the other *50 acres. Each pivot is fenced in half to enable mixed crop planting and rotational grazing. The pivots have been used for grazing, silage, and hay production. An additional *75 acres has been prepared for dryland cropping, with potential for future irrigation.
WATER: Water is a key feature, with two irrigation bores (*14,900 and *10,000 gal/hr) supported by a 250 ML licence. There are three overland flow dams with a combined storage of 94 ML. Two additional stock bores supply water to the house, yards, and multiple troughs throughout the property via mostly *63 mm poly pipe.
CATTLE YARDS AND FEED YARDS: Thoughtfully designed steel cattle yards are set up for ease of management, featuring a 5-way draft off the front of the crush, a fully undercover race, vet crush, and calf branding facility. The load-out yards are designed to allow pre-drafting and penning of multiple decks for efficient loading. An extensive laneway system runs throughout the property for ease of stock movement. The property includes *9 large feed yards with a capacity of *750 head, plus *2 smaller yards designated for starting cattle or use as hospital pens.
INFRASTRUCTURE: No shortcuts have been taken with the infrastructure across the property, with all improvements carefully considered. Improvements include a 50 m x 20 m machinery shed with a concrete workshop and three lockable bays, a 36 m x 20 m hay shed enclosed on three sides at the feed yards, three large silage pits, four 80-tonne Ahrens grain silos, and a fodder factory capable of producing *4 tonnes per day.
HOMESTEAD AND WORKERS’ ACCOMMODATION: The main residence is a large, modern four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with open-plan living and a large enclosed veranda overlooking a 10-metre pool and established gardens. Additional accommodation includes an older, recently renovated three-bedroom home, along with a two-bedroom, two-bathroom donga featuring a separate living area and a fully equipped kitchen.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: An extensive list of plant and equipment is included in the sale.
AGENT’S COMMENTS: Properties of this calibre, combining scale, irrigation, and first-class infrastructure, are tightly held and rarely offered to the market. With its productive fertile cultivation, secure water allocation and excellent feeding facilities allowing drought proof production, this property is ideally suited to a stud operation or a intensive high-performance cattle finishing enterprise.
