Farming Facilities

Ground cover and soil

Lighter quality soil varying from sandy to clay but supports cattle and the improved pasture areas responded well to fertilising and watering. Ground cover is generally made up of a variety of grasses ranging from native species, Gatton Green Panic and Rhodes  Grasses.


Boutique Farming Investment

A growing venture of Cycad (Revoluta) is currently near completion.  The Cycad is a small valuable pre historic palm tree.   Several thousand units are presently growing in pots and near to being marketed.  Markets are very receptive both locally and internationally to this specific plant which is very hardy and drought tolerant.  With the present housing and estate development boom happening in Australia due to the shortage of accommodation, and particularly in Queensland, the potential of this Cycad growing venture is enormous.



Hay shed and workshop

The older styled 6 bay hay shed in good condition is used as storage of equipment, partly a workshop and some hay storage. Extending off the hay shed is small undercover cattle feeding area and further hay storage


Covered Yards and crush

The cattle yards are strongly built using only hardwood, have a solid loading ramp, race and crush.   All that area is covered by an iron roof for protection and in very fantastic condition. All gates throughout the property, sit square and swing level.

Feeding yard and fencing

The feeding yard is divided into four areas, each pen holding 3-4 cattle during feeding. The feed rack is designed to enable you to feed the cattle separately from the back of the shed with hay and meal.  All this area is undercover and all made of hardwood, and has lighting for night work.  A separate strongly built bull yard, also all covered in, is part of this complex.   The whole design is to make movement of cattle simple and easy, less stress on owners and cattle.  This facility is in excellent condition. All fencing on property is above par and in pristine condition.

 Water Supplies and pumps.

Fixed electric pump and portable 6.5 Honda powered twin impeller Onga pump, extensive underground poly line and taps for irrigation are in place.
The property has 3 dams, 2 dams are used for irrigating and water supply for outside and around the property.  A third smaller dam is near the home as an added source of water should it be required for watering around the house is a wild life habitat. The bore which has a capacity of 2500 gallon an hour and has maintained its level of water supply all through the dry time and has never faltered.   The water is clear and sparkling, and supplies the house and pool at all times.  This property is turly is a rare find - when the bore was put in, two stream were hit and the dame time thus creating the ultimate bore possible. Addition to this the house and the hay shed have ten thousand gallon tanks each.  Two smaller poly tanks are also near the house, as the preferred drinking water supply of rainwater. You will NEVER run out of water here!

Firewood Supplies

As an added bonus there is ample supply of firewood cut and ready to burn.  The house has  a new radiant fire box recently installed and the  granny flat also has a ‘potbelly’ fireplace.  Both of these are very efficient in heating the home for a cosy winters night.
