Soils aint soils and this aint no ordinary farm! Positioned just a 5 minute drive to beautiful Bargara and 12 minutes to Bundaberg City, this 48.72 HA property represents an opportunity that is rarely available. Farms in this location are tightly held and this is this first time in 22 years that this one has been on the market. Over that period, the owner has produced a bountiful crop of cane, as well as top quality tomatoes and melons. A testament to the soil quality is the average cane yield of approximately 42 tonnes per acre of cane, while one year achieving 46 tonnes.

Another benefit is the water supply of 214 MGL supplied by the IWS. Unlike bore water, you’ll never have to fear salt intrusion! There is also a back-up supply via the 10MGL dam, which has an excellent catchment. The whole farm is flood irrigated by gravity, saving labour and money, and has 16 hydrants conveniently positioned around the property.Currently the estimated yield for this years cane is 3,300 tonnes from the 100 acres planted, by the owner tells me that the farm would support 5,000 if fully planted.

Its been 22 years of lucrative farming, but now Steve and Ronda are parking the tractor to go traveling. So if you are looking for real quality dirt, in a premium position, with stacks of water, do yourself a favour and inspect this magnificent property today.
