Chelsea Downs is an outstanding rural property. Consisting of approximately 530 acres, 60 of which are alluvial river flats, the balance is mainly undulating grazing pastures with some timbered hills and magnificent rainforest areas. The Manning River flows along one whole boundary approx. 4.5kms, crystal clear and spilling over rapids, this property screams Tourism Potential. The property currently carries approximately 150 cows and calves, has 26 internal paddocks, 10 dams plus a 100Megalitre irrigation license. A 4Bdm solid 1950′s home with slow combustion wood fire and air conditioning, massive machinery sheds. 1 x 4 open bay steel shed, 1 x 3 open bay steel shed and 1 x lockup steel shed with power, water, concrete floor and roof to ground sliding doors at the side and one end. A hoist frame is also nearby perfect for any mechanical repairs/maintenance.
The property is improved with Kikuyu, Clovers, Paspalum and Setaria. The paddock setup is very practical with laneways for easy movement of stock. There are also 2 steel cattle yards, plus a crush. An on-property quarry provides all the gravel necessary for the fantastic internal road systems.
In a peaceful setting with an abundance of wildlife, including Platypus playing and the sounds of the flowing river as company, you will be hard pressed to find such a magnificent location elsewhere. This property lends itself to Camping and canoeing because of the wonderful river access this could possibly (upon council approval) supplement your livestock income.
