What truly sets this property apart – and places it in a class of its own – is the water and irrigation infrastructure. With two water allocations totalling an impressive 440 megalitres, the property enjoys secure, permanent access to more than 3km of direct Mary River frontage.

A submersible 75kw pump with booster pump distributes water through more than 4km of six-eight-inch underground mainlines to two poly-lined centre pivots, one of which is towable to further expand irrigation reach.

A 60hp diesel pump services a 400m hard hose irrigator from the largest of three dams, ensuring the remaining cane areas are  supported. A secondary submersible pump supplies river water to a header tank at the cattle yards, gravity feeding troughs, and providing domestic and garden water to the home.

The grazing setup is equally impressive, with the balance of the property fully fenced into five paddocks of improved pastures including Rhodes and Bluegrass supporting approximately 120 breeders plus progeny.
