AREA: 577 acres in three (3) accessible Freehold titles in the mighty Mondure district. Only 20km to either Murgon or Wondai, offering all regional services and schools.
IMPROVEMENTS: A tidy and sturdy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Queenslander home set amongst established gardens. There is a convenient two bay carport and a 4 bay workshop on 3 phase power plus separate machinery shed available to house larger items alongside 3 x 50t drying bins originally used for peanuts. A set of cattle yards are also available. There are numerous paddocks with good fencing.
COUNTRY: The soil makes this property. Being a dryland farming operation, the soil has performed exceptionally well against the test of nature consistently yielding impressive crops. There is a balance of 115 acres of deep prime black soil blending into 460 acres of red volcanic soil. The current farming practices used are minimum tillage with monitored spraying techniques. Usually one working is performed then the crop is directly drilled. Over the years the soil has been fertilised with DAP (Phosphorus) only. This type of country is naturally blessed with Nitrogen, a huge cost saver.
WATER / IRRIGATION: The home is on 40,000 gallons of rainwater whilst the garden has its own supply from a 10,000 gallon tank supplied by a dam. A separate 40,000L storage has been installed which is directly used for spraying. Three permanent dams are on the property, one being very large and only built 4 years ago which is used for stock and irrigation. Two troughs are in the yards while a third is in a paddock. There is an unequipped cased bore on the smaller title which has an approx. output of 800GPH. The whole property is set amongst two seasonal creeks which have proven to be ideal to graze 30 steers.
CURRENT CROP: Right now there is a sterling crop of Barley covering 320 weed-free acres and ready to come off in November. The vendor is extremely impressed and estimates a minimum of 550 tonnes will be harvested, judging on the current yield. Work on selling the crop for $230/tonne and the lucky buyer who snaps this property up will walk straight into instant cash flow. There is a balance of 160 acres fallow ground already prepared for a summer crop of Sorghum.
INCLUSIONS: 2 x 73 tonne silos with aerators (near new) All fixed improvements.
COMMENTS: “Donelle” is a great little package with a proven performance. How often can a buyer turn 10% of the sale price into cashflow within a month of owning it? Donelle is a grain factory for the local feedlots, reducing transport costs whilst increasing profitability. The current owners are northern bound and are genuinely offering Donelle for sale.
PRICE: $1,000,000 excluding Crop
