AREA: 250 acres on three (3) Freehold titles, only 15mins to either Murgon or Wondai.
IMPROVEMENTS: Where do we start! The current owners have developed this property to be self sufficient and not rely on any outside water allocations. A 350m centre pivot has been installed which has been watering 100 acres of lucerne, barley and oats. This is supplied by a 200ML water storage that was built only several years ago. It is filled by overland flow; however the greater catchment of water comes from a water course just below it where 3 large pumps are used to transfer it when in full flood. Between the water storage and the two turbine bores, with a combined output of 20,000GPH in place, the property is fully self sufficient all year. The electric pump on the water storage for the centre pivot is a floating pontoon system that has only just been completed. Around 1.2km of new underground PVC mains has been installed to handle the greater output of water. A Queenslander home with 3 large bedrooms, great kitchen, open planned dining, polished floorboards, wood heater and a fully fenced yard overlooks the irrigation flat. In front of the home is a 25 acre, eleven cell grazing paddock with 7 hydrants for irrigation. Currently all the cells are planted to Chicory for stock feed. Other crops ideal for this paddock would be watermelons, pumpkins or any other vegetable crop suited to the soil type. Other infrastructure includes a large 33m x 12m drive through hay shed, small cattle yards and other smaller sheds.
COUNTRY: The irrigation flat, which is partially laser levelled, is of a deep black soil so common in this district. It is absolutely perfect for these types of crops. The balance of the property is on a higher level and is mainly lighter forest soils where the cell grazing occurs alongside natural grazing.
COMMENTS: All the hard work has been done. This is a very unique property for the area being totally self sufficient. It offers a variety of crop choice under irrigation whilst still giving an opportunity to grow and feed cattle. Not a bad lifestyle just out of Murgon! The current owners are moving back to their home property in the Mary Valley and ask for your genuine interest in the property.
