This property is fantastic value, an ideal start for those looking to live on the land. The property comprises 10.98ha of freehold (1 title), 48.66ha of term lease (3 titles) and 195ha of Permit to Occupy (1 title). The 3 bedroom home, steel shed and workshop and approximately 6.5ha of irrigated land are on the freehold portion. The balance is fenced grazing area on lightly timbered frontage country on the Burdekin River and Landers Creek.

The 3 bedroom timber and fibro home features polished hardwood floors, fully air-conditioned, ceiling fans, BIR’s in the bedrooms and a large lounge area and veranda over looking the banks of the Burdekin River. The kitchen, bathroom and internal laundry are all in good condition. The home is surrounded by tropical fruit trees, lawn and large shade trees. Water to the house and garden is via good quality bore water to 2 poly tanks and pressure pump.

The 4 bay steel shed and workshop is sufficient to work the farm.

There is approximately 6.5ha of river loam soil suitable to irrigate. This has previously grown sugar cane, corn and various vegetables but would be suitable to grow most crops. It is currently fenced into 2 paddocks and is under pasture. There is a 23ML Sunwater channel allocation for irrigation included. The delivery system needs some maintenance but is all in place.

The balance of the grazing land is all river frontage country which is lightly timbered with Eucalypt and grassed with Indian Couch, Rhodes, Urachloa and other native species. The cattle have access into the Burdekin River for water but rarely cross the deep channels and large expanse of sand to get to the neighbouring bank. The river permanently flows as water is released from the Burdekin Dam. The rest is fenced with 3 barb wire in good condition. There are 2 sets of cattle yards- the first is permanent steel with loading ramp and the other is portable steel with a loading ramp.

The 110 cattle are mainly quiet, good quality Droughtmaster Brahman cross. Included are 45 mixed age cows, 19 heifers, 17 steers, 26 head under 12 months and 2 bulls. Cattle are mustered using molasses which is fed during the dry season. The carrying capacity is conservatively estimated at 200 mixed cattle.

The property is 10km North of Millaroo, 20km South of Clare, 55km upstream along the Burdekin River from Ayr and 150km South of Townsville. Millaroo is a small farming community on the Burdekin River with a Primary School, Social Club and swimming pool.
