This may well be the only property within commuting distance to Bundaberg that has its own series of elevated ridges with views over the 80 kms of coast line from Baffle Creek to Burnett Heads. 40.43ha (101 acres) of absolute frost free sub tropical privacy.
Few properties can truly claim a 196ft deep bore that will provide 2000 gallon plus an hour constantly around the clock. This water is rich in minerals and has 600 parts per million salt. Water of this quality has you craving to quench more and plants thrive under irrigation. Wash your hair with it and it shines. Marketing this could be an industry in itself.
Contrary to convention, the bore has a submersible pump made even more efficient by an above ground electric pump. The result, particularly with overhead irrigation is astounding. 2 x 5000 gallon plastic header tanks have been placed, correctly on concrete slabs, on the first knoll of the hill. This gives 20m head pressure on demand via 50mm pipe to vast areas of the property. The easterly boundary is boarded by a creek.
The soil on this property is fertile red loam. 150 commercial bananas that will be ready for harvest in the near future. Sweet potatoes grow well as do citrus, mangos, tropical apple and macadamia. There are some lovely ornamental palms in the house yard. This property’s true potential would not be realized if it used were solely for primary production.
Much of the property is forested with some of the best stands of Iron Bark that I have seen for a long time. Lovely areas of rain forest are regenerating, particularly around the seasonal creek. It is almost fully fenced and firebreaks are around the perimeter. The many ridges, set back from the world in seclusion, enjoy the cooling sea breeze plus views, making them an ideal location for eco-tourism, large scale retreat or conference facilities with accommodation. It is only 46kms from Bundaberg, which has an airport, train and bus station. It is a 25 minute drive to the coast.
A 312m2 plus shed complete with livable residence is accessible by all weather road. This could be used for comfortable accommodation while you build your dream house, where you chose, or remain as a home while you continue to farm the property. It has ample space for both workshop with 30 power outlets and packing shed facilities. It has been sectioned into a combined living and kitchen area, with 3 bedrooms, bathroom, separate toilet and laundry.
The shed is of sturdy design and construction and the verandas are lined with cool room panel for comfort. The outdoor verandas are enjoyable places to relax and there is ample scope for extension. Hot water and stove are both electric.
You can’t just look at this property from the house. It has to be walked to appreciate the natural beauty, views, mountains and potential. Sunrises from the sea would be a magnificent manner to commence each day.
The majority of the property is zoned white with 1/3 being orange.
Annual rates on the property are $580 per year payable to the Burnett Shire
