Five Of The Best Acreage For Sale Sunshine Coast

Strong Demand Drives Up Prices Of Acreage For Sale Sunshine Coast

With its rolling hills, quaint country townships and proximity to magnificent beaches, restaurants and cafes on the coast, it’s not surprising that acreage for sale Sunshine Coast ranks as the most expensive per hectare in Queensland.

According to the 2022 Rural Bank Farmland Values Report, the median price of the region’s farmland has risen at a cummulative average growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8 per cent over the past five years to top $18,334 per hectare in 2021, taking the 10-year CAGR to 6.1 per cent and the 20-year CAGR to 7.7 per cent. It places the Sunshine Coast as the most expensive region in the state to buy farmland - with its per hectare rate almost triple the state average of $6,827/ha.

What’s more, prices accelerated in 2021 and into 2022, with valuer Herron Todd White (HTW) reporting in its February 2022 Monthly Update that the past 12 to 24 months has witnessed record value levels of more than $30,000/ha for good quality grazing holdings in the Mary Valley.

Director Chris McKillop says typically, these have been of smaller sub-50ha holdings, “though there has been a high turnover of stock at this level”.

He adds that larger holdings throughout the upper Mary Valley of 200+ ha have also seen good growth with unirrigated land typically seeing values from $10,000-20,000/ha “depending on the quality of the country, paddock development and water availability on site”.

“All of this indicates that pricing is at a record high, and it is difficult to see further growth,” he says, before adding that the market in this region is “typically dictated by a number of external factors”.

Some of these factors include:

• The growth of south-east Queensland residential market, with the region seen as attractive to purchasers for lifestyle retirement pursuits after selling in the Brisbane area; and
• Growth in Central Queensland for further rural holdings with a number of former large farm holders looking to retire back to holdings that can operate circa 100 head with a nice home and close to the coast.

“If [these] markets begin to slow then it will dictate what will happen to this area in 2022. If these markets continue to see very strong value growth, then that will translate to this area,” McKillop says.

“Overall, supply remains tight and a number of agents indicate that there is limited stock to bring to the market in the first three months of 2022.

“The southern Elimbah fruit bowl area (north of Caboolture and immediately south of Beerburrum) has seen continued consolidation of holdings from a number of established large operators in the area.

“Given the continued urban expansion, it is likely that this will help underpin values in this area in 2022.”
