Farm Fresh Direct is a well-established business that operates out of a 14.95 Hectare Freehold property at Horseshoe Lagoon. Located between Townsville and Ayr in tropical North Queensland, it allows the business to operate with lower overheads in terms of rates and electricity.
Farm Fresh Direct are Fruit and Vegetable suppliers to the general trade and a national supermarket chain. They run 2 services to Townsville daily and 1 to Ayr. In relation to the supply to the supermarket chain, product is delivered direct to their major North Queensland storage facility located in Townsville.
Huge untapped potential abounds as the 14.95 hectare freehold property is currently underutilised, it has approximately 12 hectares of cleared land suitable for irrigable arable pursuits. Current use of the property is for packing, processing and cold storage for Farm Fresh Direct only. As the property fronts the busy Bruce Highway the current owner introduced weekend market days on site which is a good addition to cash flow.
The owner of the business has a massive amount of experience from decades in the industry and long standing contacts Australia wide to satisfy any demands, all of which will be passed on to new owners should it be required.
The current owner is retiring and has made it a serious option to sell both the business and the freehold property and has reduced the asking price to $2,950,000 wiwo.
