Formerly tobacco/sugar cane farming land, this 130 acre rural lifestyle block with Barron River frontage presents as the absolute lifestyle retreat; however with its location and previous farming history, this property offers a multitude of opportunities.
Just an hour’s drive from the Cairns Domestic and International airports, 5 minutes from the local Biboohra primary school and 10 minutes from Mareeba High School and the Mareeba Saleyards, here is the perfect weekend getaway, not too far from anywhere. There is an abundance of native wildlife and birdlife, giant trees, beautiful sandy swimming holes and fishing up for grabs.
If a farming venture is for you, the river loam soils will suit a variety of cropping ventures and there is no shortage of cleared acreage and plenty of water with a 20 megalitre water licence from the Barron River and riparian water rights. A power service pole with box and meter is already in place and 3 phase is available. This land is fully fenced with 4 barbed wire and is divided into three paddocks. There are 10 water troughs to service horse/cattle agistment, 9 taps and 3 fire truck filling points. There is also a fenced camping area with fire pit
Three garden sheds (2 lockable) are currently being used for storage and there is a 20 foot shipping container. A poly tank stores water; however water is available directly from the Barron via a Davies pump and pressure tank. Pop up sprinklers irrigate the park like grounds.
For those who enjoy horse riding or trail bike riding, there are 130 acres to explore.
An Austin 30 foot bus decked out with bedroom, kitchen, a hot water system and toilet and shower amenities is also included with the sale.
If building a house is in your plans, there is a choice of scenic house sites with magical sunsets and a bush back drop completes the picture.
Started by the current owners, this project is now ready for a new owner’s vision.
