Lot/Plan: 2/BS840978
This magnificent country retreat is located on 22 cleared acres. The entire back boundary is on the Endeavour River, where you can catch Barra, Mangrove Jack & Mud crabs.
This is a perfect retreat or lifestyle property, with beautiful soil for vegetable gardens, and well set up infrastructure for machinery, cattle, horses, poultry and dogs.
With over 40 mature mango trees and over 30 mixed exotic fruit and citrus trees, this property is capable of producing your own organic meat, fruit and vegetables, as well as having plenty to sell if you choose.
This property has it all for horse lovers. Fenced into 5 paddocks and sown with improved pasture. There are 3 beautifully constructed horse stalls, with a tackle & feed shed attached. There is also a cattle yard with a race and loading ramp. Up to 4 prime steers may be offered with the property.
15kms to Cooktown, which will fulfil all shopping and social needs, and has a bowls club, restaurants, hospital, GP clinic, airport 10 minutes away, and 2 schools. The school bus goes past the front gate.
Downstairs, you will feel at home in the air conditioned, beautiful open space living area, with plenty of windows and glass doors to allow natural light and breeze through, along with a large walk in pantry, the laundry and toilet. The air conditioned upstairs area is well designed with 4 bedrooms, an office/sewing room, shower and a second toilet.
Relax in the cool outdoor undercover entertainment area downstairs, and enjoy the oasis of landscaped gardens around the home with a variety of flowering shrubs and trees, which attract a great variety of birdlife. The house also has a gravity fed rainwater tank. A good bore pumps up to 15,000 gallons per hour of the best, pure drinking water. There is also a dam in the front paddock – either for stock, or to cool off in, in the summer.
Outside the fenced house block is a grassed area with avenues of mature mangoes and exotic and citrus fruits plus a beautifully built and shaded chook house and run. There are 4 separate dog kennels built up off the ground.
The property has 3 very well constructed sheds, with a workshop area, parking for up to 8 vehicles or use as machinery sheds. As well, there is a separate cold room with and hanging and butchering area.
On the eastern boundary is a huge shed with an old unused flat attached, which is great for a guest retreat.
The pressure pump on the house is only 12 months old. A new bore was installed in late 2014, and will be expected to last another 20 years. A 680 Honda quad bike with spray tank, and a near new 52 Husqvarna zero turn mower may be included in the sale.
This property would also be perfect as a retreat with tourist cabins, which could be built overlooking the river on the back boundary, where there is a small corridor of lush rainforest.
So many features to fulfil your dreams. Nothing to do on this lovely property if you want peace and quiet.
Just walk in and enjoy the lifestyle if you wish.
