Located 24km’s west of Proston in the tightly held Brigooda district in the South Burnett, sits this immaculate, tick free, 320 acre farm with a charming homestead surrounded by lush gardens and good, workable sheds and cattle yards.
Owned by the same family for the past 38 years, this farm is approximately 75% cleared. The vast majority of which is prime, red scrub soil carrying well established Rhodes and Blue grass pasture. The balance is timbered forest country with the potential for millable timber.
A diverse farming history over the years has seen the property developed into a sustainable, drought proofed enterprise through water provided by a 1,900 litre per hour bore feeding into a very large dam and to a centrally located tank which then gravity feeds the house/shed area and various stock watering points. A large 3 phase driven Southern Cross pump at the dam is connected to 100mm high pressure underground piping to a 20 hectare irrigation section. A travelling gun irrigator is included in the sale.
There is definite potential to increase water storage by the use of dams at strategic points. A connection to the Brigooda rural water scheme is current, but unused at present.
Good condition five line barb external and internal fencing divides the property into 10 workable paddocks. Some electric fencing is also installed.
Sheds are in good condition with a 22m x 22m open sided hay shed and an 11m x 7.5 steel shed which also contains a 7.5m x 5m drive in cold room, in working order.
A feature is the 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home which contains an office, formal lounge, combined kitchen dining areas. Rooms are spacious, bright, well maintained and filled with old world charm. A three quarter length front verandah offers stunning views to the north and east.
Beautiful, immaculate gardens provide shade from the afternoon sun and add a real touch of class as you enter from the road.
This is an ideal starter block for someone wanting to enter farming or offers an opportunity as a quality add-on’ block for the established farmer.
The vendor is genuine and the price reduction reflects their desire to meet the market.
The photos are current as at 5/2/2017 and reflect the patchy season that we have experienced.
An inspection of this terrific block will most certainly not disappoint!
