This retreat is a rare and world class land opportunity, presenting both prime agricultural and ecological potential for the astute buyer with the bonus of being minutes from conveniences and only 1.5 hours from Cairns.
Therese Plath is pleased to offer this property as a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a clean, green agricultural gem of rich alluvial soils, perennial creeks, clean ground water and significant conservation and natural heritage values. This property represents a unique investment in both conservation lifestyle and economic agricultural endeavours.
This property has been in the family for over 60 years, running beef cattle and horse stud. Due to illness, the property has not been farmed for 18months and is reluctantly offered for sale.
The potential for this block creates a mind boggling array of situations from monoculture to Agro-forestry, conservation and or/eco-tourism.
There are not many blocks of this size that can boast cassowaries and untouched rainforest alongside fertile alluvial paddocks and pristine water sources.
This property offers a unique opportunity to live close to nature and off-the grid. Before tropical cyclone Yasi, residents relied on solar power and sourced local water.
