The long standing owners of this large irrigation farm currently under sugar cane are looking for a tree and career change. At approximately 651.04 acres, farms of this size are getting harder to come by. This property is being sold on a walk in walk out basis and there is a plethora of machinery and equipment included in the sale. At present the property is averaging 10,000 tonnes of cane per year, however there is provision to increase this exponentially with some trickle tape repairs to unused paddocks. Soil types comprise Poplar, Murphy, Masterton and Mulligan Shallow Phase which could lend to other types of cropping and could potentially support intensive cell grazing or possibly Leucaena. One of the main property highlights here is the enormous holding dam of approximately 12 hectares (approx. 30 acres). In addition to holding the 220 meg water allocation and collecting rainfall, the dam is home to an amazing array of bird life. Jacanas, Brolgas, Jabirus, Pelicans, Cormorants, Pygmy Goose, the list is endless. This property is in close proximity to the Mareeba Wetlands and there is potential here for a tourism activity. There is a creek running through the western part of the property adjacent to a large paddock of Pangola grass. This paddock along with the grasses around the dam sustains 45 head of droughtmasters over the year with no need for supplement feeding or lick. Property Features Include: -2 low set residences -Main home has 4.8kw solar -Cattle yards -Storage sheds -Machinery & equipment -Workers living quarters -45kw Electric motor and pump at creek -Fertigation at dam -Two bores To summarise, this farm has much potential for expansion with cane or other crops, and/or possibly tourism opportunities. There are some repairs and maintenance needed to get it up to speed, however with it's size and proximity to Mareeba along with good water allocation, there is lots of potential for the right investor. Two residences along with workers quarters are also appealing.
