This exceptional, mixed farming holding may be sold bare (land and infrastructure only) or as an operational dairy and milk processing facility.

Comprising 149.05ha (368 acres) and with extensive Logan River frontage, it has a range of potential agricultural uses – turf, grazing, hay production and cropping. A 350ML water allocation is included in the sale, as well as a 58ML water harvesting licence.

The underground mains network spans approximately 10km and can irrigate up to 121 hectares. 4 bores (2 equipped) provide additional stock and irrigation water when necessary. Given the availability of water and the irrigation infrastructure in place, the property has consistently produced quality lucerne hay, feed crops and silage.

Home of the popular '4 Real Milk' brand, the long – standing Scenic Rim dairy has undergone many changes throughout the years. Embracing innovative technology, the dairy is now equipped with 6 Lely robotic units and a milk bottling plant, increasing efficiency across all facets of the operation. 4 Real Milk products are distributed through approximately 300 retailers and there is the opportunity for further growth. If sold as a dairy and milk processing facility, the sale will include the 4 Real Milk brand and all associated assets.
