Hillsborough is an established cattle property that is well situated, well developed and is carrying an abundance of feed with a secure water supply. It is located 15km east of Ravenswood, 80 south west of Ayr and 115km from either Charters Towers or Townsville.
The property is close to meat works, sale yards, clearing dip, live weight scales and live export depots. All coastal, central and southern Queensland markets are on the doorstep of this property.
The alluvial flats are timbered with Ti Tree/ Gum running into Iron Bark ridges and ranges. It carries a body of Black Spear, Indian Couch, other native grasses with Secca and Verano stylo’s throughout.
The property is fenced into 15 main paddocks with several smaller holding paddocks. It has secure water by way of 5 wells, 11 bores, 13 dams and numerous permanent and seasonal water holes. Two sets of yards means easy access from all paddocks. The homestead complex provides comfortable living for owners and staff. Several machinery and service sheds are also located at the complex.
It is currently running 5000 mixed cattle and their good condition is testament to the quality of this property.
Under the current ownership Hillsborough has benefited from an extensive water and fencing development program. Water security is considered a feature of the property.
The inclusion of 1400 head plus progeny in the sale provide any purchaser with a solid base to operations into the future. The added advantage of purchasing the property not fully stocked, is that it allows the purchaser the opportunity to move their own cattle onto the property.
