AREA: 855 acres (346ha) of Freehold plus 355 acres (144ha) of forestry lease. Located on the Wide Bay highway in the Woolooga region. Approx. 25mins to Gympie and 2.5hrs to Brisbane.
SERVICES: Satellite internet, STD phone, mail 3 days a week and daily school bus run to primary and secondary schools.
IMPROVEMENTS: A comfortable 3 bedroom Queenslander home with established gardens overlooks the house dam and improved pastures. The home is energy efficient with a solar hot water system and gas/electric stove. A 4 bay shed with 2 lockable bays is beside the home, 4 cemented dog kennels, a combination of 18,000 gallons of rainwater, 2 stockyards 1 x timber and 1 x steel both in good condition.
COUNTRY: Cleared open creek flats running into warmer forest country. Heavy deep volcanic black soil flats and ridges cover most of the property, with some lighter soils amongst the forest country. There is a strong presence of legumes throughout every paddock consisting of creeping blue, namkat rhodes, siatro, wyncassia, seca stylo, beefmaker, green panic plus native black spear grass. Previously, numerous round bales have been cut on the open flats consisting of several combined grasses. Although the forest lease is heavily timbered with a plantation, there is an abundance of grass between each row which has been able to carry further numbers of cattle comfortably.
WATER / FENCING: 13 dams, 1 x electric bore, 1 x windmill, 1 x solar bore, 1 x well, 1 x unequipped bore and a seasonal creek. The plantation owners are also running poly pipe to a trough for water in the forestry lease. The entire boundary is nearly all renewed with partial new and original internal fencing. The property is divided into 15 paddocks with two laneways leading up to the yards. The forestry lease boundary is electric fenced.
CARRYING CAPACITY: With all of the improved pastures the property is comfortably carrying 197 breeders, 20 replacement heifers and 140 weaners. Only recently 100 weaners were sold off the property. The forestry lease alone has been carrying 70 breeders on only half of it.
COMMENTS: “Viviana has certainly come a long way with the improvements. The property has great highway exposure to showcase your cattle, excellent carrying capacity and a history of putting on the kilo’s. With the added bonus of the forestry lease, this is a large 800 acres giving you the buyer more bang for your buck!
