Remarks
“Eleanor Farm” sits on the Northern end of the renowned Kilcummin district, north of Clermont and South/West of Moranbah.

The property has lent itself predominately to broadacre dryland farming and fringe area grazing. With the highly fertile soil available, there is opportunity to develop another 1,179 acres of cultivation or turn the farming areas into a high-density cattle operation.

The vendors are willing to grant early access to the property, once the contract is unconditional, to allow for any timely farming tasks to be completed by the new purchasers.

Rarely does the opportunity arise to allow you to acquire a highly sought after property, in a tightly held area.
