Stunning 176-acre property near Kyogle

“Helmet Park”, with its reliable water and deep fertile volcanic soils, has been producing mainly organic products such as macadamias, garlic and assorted vegetables, all going to the local farmers markets.

All of this while managing and genetically improving their 60-cow herd of Speckled Park cattle and planting over 2,000 macadamia trees that are in production now.

The homestead is a four-bedroom / three-bathroom masterly renovated timber home with wrap around verandahs with an outside entertaining area and beautiful well-kept gardens.

There is a renovated dairy for the drying and processing of the garlic as well as milking the house cow. The cattle yards are fully equipped and include a feeder for grain feeding butchers calves. There is a large modern concreted shed containing all the macadamia sorting and processing equipment as well as storage silos for the nuts. There is another open machinery shed that enables all the farm equipment to be stored under cover. A large greenhouse completes the picture.

The property is watered by Fawcett's Creek, spring dams and bores and wells. The property has been fenced to promote a rotational grazing system to allow for maximum fodder production and beef production. A 20-tonne fodder machine adequately backs up that production if needed.

“Helmet Park” is to be offered for sale on a “walk in walk out” basis and a full list of livestock, machinery, plant and equipment is available on request; or it can also be purchased bare.
