AREA: Approx. 500 acres on two (2) Freehold titles. Situated only minutes north of Tansey on the Burnett Highway and only 15 mins north of Goomeri.
IMPROVEMENTS: A very neat and sturdy 3 bedroom, 2 bath weatherboard home with two verandas sitting high on the ridge overlooking the flats below. Positioned amongst established gardens the home is run mainly on rainwater with the exception of bore water to the two toilets. Behind the home, and out of view, is an 8 bay hay and machinery shed with power connected. There is ample room to house machinery inside and out if required.
COUNTRY: An exceptional amount of pasture improvement has gone into the property over the past 4 years to really increase carrying capacity. Types of pastures include Creeping Bisset Blue grass, Rhodes grass, Seca Stylo and Wyncassia. The irrigated rich black soil creek flats are under lucerne at the moment. Over the past four years a lot of unwanted timber and regrowth has been cleared on the front title, whilst the back title has generally been left untouched. This large paddock has been ideal for breeders offering warmer temperatures through winter months.
WATER / IRRIGATION: This is a well watered property. The electric irrigation bore on the flats is rated to supply 6,000GPH, which is ample to cover 25 acres. A second bore used for stock water works off an air pump which is driven by an air compressor. This system is fully automated pumping to several tanks and reticulating to troughs in every paddock. There is also a windmill and two troughs on the back title, plus 8 dams with a seasonal creek.
CARRYING CAPACITY: 80 Cows and Calves or 120 Steers.
YARDS / FENCING: A compact set of timber yards are positioned down on the flats, complete with loading ramp and vet crush. The fencing on “Benmiller” is very impressive, all of it highly maintained. Using split posts with 4 barbs, the property is divided into 8 main paddocks with a central laneway for mustering.
INCLUSIONS: Approx. 40-45 Droughtmaster-Cross Cows and Calves, plus 2 Droughtmaster Bulls. 3 x tractors, 1 x Fiat Dozer, All hay making and cultivation equipment and feed bins.
COMMENTS: A lot of pride has been put into this property. It’s neat and tidy, it has the water and improved pastures, and it’s close to town. The paddocks allow different lines of livestock to be run and the laneway makes it a “one man job”. Come and see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
PRICE: $1,150,000 ONO
