1019 North River Road, Carnarvon.
'Monique Plantation' has been thoughtfully developed by the De Gouveia family since 1996 and presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a fully operational plantation with a mix of established perennial and seasonal crops. The property is offered on a 'walk in, walk out' basis and includes all the necessary plant & improvements to continue the business as a going concern.
Bisected by North River Road at the western end of the Carnarvon Horticulture District, the property consists of two titles and features 115m of Gascoyne River frontage, 15.34ha of rich alluvial soil and secure water allocations.
The property lends itself to almost all crop types, with the substantial 3ha netting structure on the northern portion giving excellent protection from pests and extreme weather events. Approximately 13.5ha of 'Monique Plantation' is developed for horticultural crops, with the current program being;
• Williams Cavendish Bananas: 4.24ha
• Capsicums: 3ha (all under netting)
• Kensington Pride Mangos: 0.55ha or approximately 130 trees
• Fallowed / prepared ground: 5.68ha
Secure and substantial water allocations are sourced from both the Department of Water (DOW) and the Gascoyne Water Co-Operative (GWC). Three operational bores draw water from the Gascoyne River aquifer (70,500KL), while scheme water is provided via GWC pipelines (36,000KL). Water is stored in 2 x concrete tanks (circa 180m3 capacity) and reticulated throughout the property with underground mainlines, providing approximately 7,800KL per effective hectare.
The lovingly maintained, north facing homestead features three large bedrooms, study, two bathrooms, a renovated kitchen, formal & informal loungerooms and an enclosed single car garage. Stepping outside, a broad back veranda is surrounded by mature citrus & tropical fruit trees, while two unique features - a fully equipped woodfire bakehouse and separate cellar - form the basis for family cooking and entertaining.
The fully enclosed general-purpose shed (approximately 145m2) is centrally located, alongside two comfortable seasonal workers accommodation units which house up to 5 people.
A full complement of well-maintained plant & machinery is included in the sale of the property, including tractors, tillage equipment, a light truck and numerous towed implements.
'Monique Plantation' is being offered for sale to allow the owners to pursue interests outside of their farming business. A full list of plant & machinery, production & financial statistics are available to qualified buyers.
The property is conveniently located within close proximity to freight services and town amenities. Carnarvon is the primary service centre for the Gascoyne region and supports a diverse economy focused on horticulture, fishing, tourism and pastoral leases. These industries have enabled Carnarvon to develop into a vibrant and progressive town with a population of approximately 5000 people.
