Located in the well-known farming belt on the outskirts of Mareeba this 12.18ha established longan orchard offers a very lucrative opportunity with a well-established and running production, historically proven high returns and what could not be a more desirable location commercially and for the purposes of comfortable living. Containing 2 high quality homes, 2 large sheds and the infrastructure required to carry on production.

2018 turnover of approximately $850,000 operating at approximately 80% production with young trees maturing over the next 12-24 months to bring production to 100% capacity.

The farm was established by the current owners in 1993 catering to a very niche but demanding market. The owners have spent the last 2 decades producing the highest quality product available to the market through constant improvement of process and technology.

The major clients for longans currently are domestic wholesaler’s suppliers in many of Australia’s capital cities as well as lucrative export clients in the like of Canada.
