Just 3km from Home Hill with soils the manager claims could almost grow sugar cane from a dead stick is available with home, shed, machinery, crop and irrigation pumps and infrastructure.
Available as a whole or in two sections, 172.4 acres and 132.17 acres there are 8 pumps in total all pumping from bores, 2 x 6′ turbines, 1 x 6′ submersible and 4 centrifical well pumps. Situated in the South Burdekin Water Board area, an area charge of $72.16 per hectare (for Cane growing and $108.23 for other crops) per year applies with no megalitre charge for water. CSR subsidises $36.08 of the area rate for Sugarcane.
The 2010 crop is estimated at 12,000 tonnes grown on 267 acres of cultivation and the farm has averaged this figure over the past years.
A three bedroom lowset house and a 48m x 20m machinery shed with three bays concrete and two bays lockable is on the larger section.
Soils are dark river loams and very manageable to produce heavy Burdekin renown Cane crops.
A machinery and implement list with further information is available on request.
The vendor now lives in Brisbane but her manager has capably continued the familys good work for many years.She has reluctantly decided to call it a day.
Call me and give this property a look over and you will agree it is up with the best of the Burdekin Delta.
