80 km direct line west of Brisbane City, 130 km via 4 lane highway to Helidon, then 20 km of scenic forest drive on all-weather gravel road. 90 minutes Brisbane GPO to property gate.
300 ha of timbered country with two deep valleys running from the west to the east, ending in the Buaraba Creek South Branch.
One of these valleys has permanent water flow, although only small during the recent drought of 2010/11. There are a number of deep holes (Devils Hole) Not been able to establish the depth of this hole yet, but very deep. There is also a long rock waterslide below the falls that feed into Devils Hole.
The property has three sections of frontage to the permanent South Branch Buaraba Creek; there is also a nice rock swing hole in this section of the creek.
The property has a range of wildlife with Red Deer, Koala, Brush tailed Rock wallaby ,wild pigs, dingos being the main species.
There is an internal track system from the creek up to the top southern boundary.
The property has a very large deposit of hard rock of high quality.
There are a number of interesting home sites on the property, two down on the creek and the other up on the top north western corner.
The property has approximately $30/40,000 worth of timber which could be harvested now, being spotted gum and ironbark.
There is no power or phone line to the property, however mobile service is available in a number of locations.
The access to the property is via a public council maintained road; there are two locked gates that give the area a great degree of privacy. The locked gates are through land owned by Ergon
Ergon have 1000 ha adjoining Lot2 on which they are growing native forest for Power Pole production.
This is a great property if you want separation distance from the neighbours, your own wildlife reserve and grow your own vegetable etc. with the permanent water supply.
The water in the South Branch Buaraba creek comes from springs further up the creek on another property that I own, it comes out of sandstone cliffs and is very pure water, in the drought it was running at 20,000 gallons per hour down the creek. However it only flows above the ground to about the northern boundary of lot 2, then it goes under the gravel beds of the creek system.
