Relax on the jetty overlooking the pristine waterway of your 16 hectare (39.80 Ac) waterfront property where sea turtles and eagles are often observed while you wait for a fish to take your line. Or, jump into a tinny and fish the 35 ft deep channel opposite the jetty or anywhere else on this vast river system. Barra, Mangrove Jack, Prawns and Mud Crabs are plentiful in this system. The river is approximately 200 metres wide at this point where dolphins have been seen at play in the crystal clear waters. This is subtropical croc free waterfront at its very best.
Take the 8 km boat ride to the mouth of “The Baffle” and stroll along pristine beaches to the north or south. Check your crab pots on your way home because you may well have mud crabs for lunch while dinning on the screened veranda overlooking the pastures, dam and river. If you find you forgot bread or beer it’s only 15 km to Rosedale shops.
The property is 16 hectares, dimensions approximately 725m x 225m with 230 metres of river frontage, fully fenced with 4 strand barbed wire in very good condition. Phone and power are connected, with your own transformer. Fertile deep alluvial soils are found throughout with 35 acres of clean pasture, including 2 dams. Vegetation management zoning is 100% white zone.
You will want to build a high set home to take advantage of the views of the river to the mouth and west to Mt. Maria. Live in the spacious shed while you build your dream home or just use the shed as a weekender (as the property is only 73 km, approx. 50 minutes from Bundaberg).
The 3 year old shed is 12m long x 10m wide x 3m high, inclusive of a 3x9m screened veranda. The rest of the building is insect and rodent proof, with insulation under the roof. Roller doors are also screened to allow plenty of light and the fresh sea breeze through without the insects. There are 2 roller doors, a glass sliding door, 2 sliding windows, a PA door with a vent and TV antenna on the roof. A 6000 gallon poly tank and an Onga pump supplies rainwater. A 13m x 3.5m shade-house / trellis enhances and shades the front of this north facing building. The shed and home site are located above the 100 year flood free site. Good neighbours are located on adjoining properties.
Post is delivered 5 days a week and the school bus passes the front gate. Annual rates on the property are approximately $1600 payable to the Miriam Vale Shire Council.
