Overview
Turnkey rural retreat - productivity meets lifestyle
This exceptional 225-acre rural property offers a unique opportunity to acquire a highly productive grazing holding combined with an enviable rural lifestyle. The land is thoughtfully designed for efficient management, featuring seven paddocks interconnected by a central laneway system that facilitates seamless stock movement and stress-free mustering. The property boasts rolling improved pastures, expansive mountain views, and Humpy Creek along the rear boundary, providing a harmonious blend of natural beauty, privacy, and functionality.
The residence is a three-bedroom post-war home that delivers comfortable and practical country living with modern enhancements throughout. It is equipped with a large reverse-cycle split system to ensure year-round comfort. Wide wraparound verandas offer inviting spaces to relax, entertain guests, and enjoy the sweeping vistas. Adjacent to the main bedroom, a sunroom serves as a peaceful retreat or an ideal office space. Additionally, a separate laundry with extra storage enhances everyday convenience.
Elevated to capture cooling breezes and scenic outlooks, the home is nestled in a tranquil setting immersed in the landscape. The property also includes additional elevated house sites that present exciting potential for a second residence or guest accommodation.
The house yard enriches the lifestyle experience with an established orchard containing approximately 35 mature fruit trees, complemented by a vegetable garden and two chicken pens. This setup supports a genuine farm-to-table lifestyle, ideal for those interested in growing fresh produce, raising animals, or pursuing a self-sufficient way of living.
A level pad near the house is suitable for equestrian use or further improvements and has previously been utilized as a round-yard for horses.
A substantial enclosed colorbond shed measuring 15.5 meters wide by 13 meters deep provides ample space for vehicles, caravans, boats, machinery, and equipment, with additional room for a workshop. The shed is fitted with LED lighting throughout and multiple power outlets, including a 15-amp outlet.
A second shed, approximately 8 meters by 8 meters, offers parking space for a vehicle under one half and a 20-foot shipping container for storage under the other half. This shed is located near semi-permanent steel cattle yards with a 60-head capacity, vet crush, and loading ramp.
Water security is a prominent feature of this property, supported by an extensive and reliable system. The house is supplied by multiple rainwater tanks—two 5,000-gallon tanks and one 2,000-gallon tank—all linked for gravity self-leveling and equipped with a pressure pump. Several dams on the property are accessible for stock watering, with the largest dam near the house fitted with a Honda petrol pump to supply water to a 6,000-gallon concrete tank in the house yard, which also has a pressure pump for watering the yard and gardens.
Two equipped bores, one with a Grundfos submersible pump and the other with a windmill, pump water to a 5,000-gallon tank that gravity feeds four concrete troughs, ensuring all paddocks have water. The 6,000-gallon concrete tank in the house yard can also be replenished by either bore.
The property currently supports a healthy body of pasture and is understocked, running about 30 head of cattle, including cows and calves. The pastures benefit from fertile red scrub-country soil and alluvial creek flats. In addition to native pastures, the land has been extensively improved with proven grass and legume varieties such as epica rhodes, reclaimer rhodes, gatton panic, green panic, seca-stylo, premier digit, and siratro.
There is potential to expand operations or customize the holding to suit lifestyle priorities, including horses or hobby farming.
Recent extensive fencing using Waratah steel pickets and Waratah long-life Iowa four-strand barbed wire enhances ease of management and long-term durability.
The property has consistently received above-average rainfall over the past six years, with over 1200mm recorded in the last eight months.
Additionally, there is a small gravel pit with a previous operations agreement with Gladstone Regional Council, which is currently unused.
This farmer-ready block is conveniently located just five minutes from the Bruce Highway, ten minutes to Mount Larcom, thirty minutes from Gladstone, and fifty minutes to Rockhampton and Gracemere. With all the hard work completed, it presents an excellent opportunity for cattle or horse enterprises, with capacity for further expansion.
Overall, this is an exceptional opportunity for grazing, lifestyle, or expansion, with all the groundwork already accomplished.
