This irrigated citrus orchard located in Queensland’s tightly held North Burnett region presents an institutional-scale horticulture opportunity with income, water security and expansion upside.
Known as ‘Old Cooranga’, the 244.06-hectare rural property for sale comprises 93.74 hectares of established citrus orchards producing mandarins, lemons, limes and oranges, offering an immediate large-scale footprint underpinned by favourable varieties and diversified end-markets, with 58 per cent of fruit exported in 2025.
The property also offers embedded expansion potential, with more than 85 hectares of additional land suitable for planting, including 48 hectares already developed with irrigation mains infrastructure, providing a near-term pathway for production growth.

The high-quality, consistent horticultural soil base is a feature of the orchard, distinguished by highly productive dark red sandy clay and alluvial loam soils.
Water security and volume is another key feature of ‘Old Cooranga’. With direct frontage to Boyne River, the property benefits from 697 megalitres of combined water allocations, a 495-megalitre supply dam and six equipped groundwater bores, providing production certainty and supporting future expansion.
Water from the dam – as well as the bores – is reticulated into the mainlines to a centralised pump site for filtration and fertigation before being distributed to sprinkler systems throughout the property.
