Curraghmore Station is located approx 2 hours from Cairns and 1 hour from Mareeba, situated on 159,456 acres capable of carrying 3000 breeders with their progeny.
This grazing homestead has a perpetual lease plus 635 acres of freehold around homestead. There is a single and double frontage to 2 major river systems, 3 permanent creeks, 27 dams, bores and other seasonal creeks plus reliable summer Wet season rainfall of upwards of 32 inches.
The current livestock on the property is approx 1000 Brahman shorthorn cross cows, 600 mixed steers and heifers, calves at foot. 17 Brahman bulls purchased in 2011 and 10 Brahman bulls purchased 2013.
High and low ridge country with interconnecting open forest valleys leading down to good frontage country along the plentiful creeks and rivers. Water is undoubtedly one of the strongest features of Curraghmore: serviced by 27 dams, 4 equipped bores (2 at the house and one with a solar pump to tank and troughs and one on a windmill to tank and troughs)
Features 20km single frontage to the Mitchell River and 8 km single frontage and 16km double frontage to the McLeod River, 3 permanent creeks (Spence, Desailley and Reedy Creek). This is all complemented by a reliable tropical wet season between November and April.
Established spear and kangaroo grass plus Indian couch with seca also starting to get well established.
6 x bedroom homestead with separate kitchen/dining just renovated. 5 x single bedrooms workers quarters. 3 sets of yards plenty of sheds
4 internal paddocks with fencing in fair to average condition. Approx 50km of boundary is fenced. New fence 15 km both sides of the highway from McLeod River to top of Desailley range.
Coupled with its obvious potential as a close in breeder block, another aspect which should be stressed is its tremendous appeal to tourism operation. With its magnificent mountain and savannah panoramas, kilometers of cool clear running water, beautiful shady Melaleuca glades the potential is obvious for a nature based camping, cabin, bushwalking, birdwatching eco style venture. It adjoins established national parks and the Australian Wildlife Conservancy owned property Brooklyn so the area has already gained recognition in this field.
