What an opportunity! Your home on 10 acres complete with a fully operational farm specialising in hydroponic lettuce and herbs as well as an array of mixed tropical fruits.

The owners are going to retire and are now seriously ready to hand over their home and farm with plant, equipment and stock included in the purchase price.

Six varieties of ‘fancy’ lettuce, along with basil, coriander, parsley, rocket, kale, thyme, Asian greens and other herbs, are grown hydroponically. The mixed fruit orchard of mangosteen (the ‘Queen of Tropical Fruit’), lime, pumelo, jakfruit, black sapote (chocolate pudding fruit) and lychees supplies fruit in small commercial quantities. More than 30 other varieties of citrus, rainforest and exotic fruits, including carambola, Davidson’s plum and tangelos are grown on site.

An under-utilised orchard is situated to the west of the creek with the remainder of the farm stretching to the south. The abundant water supply feeds the hydroponic operation which features 5 greenhouses, 30 nutrient film technique hydroponic tables, 20m x 7.5m shed with shower and WC, cold room, bore with 3 phase submersible pump, John Deer tractor with slasher and more plant and equipment inventory is available on request.

The setting is idyllic. Drive down a palm lined driveway to the solid block homestead encircled by cool, wide wraparound verandahs and listen to the babble of the permanent creek that feeds directly out of the World Heritage Rainforest across the road.

The home offers 3 good sized bedrooms with built in robes, an office, open plan living, large country-style kitchen and dining area, bathroom, ensuite, powder room and laundry.

With the school bus stop at the end of the driveway and the Coral Sea and 14kms of beachfront under a 10 minute drive through rainforest, why wait? Now is the time to make the move to the tropics. Contact exclusive agent Melissa Thurgood for further information and to schedule your inspection.
