Property Description
Holly Park consists of Stuart River black soil flats that are fenced and cultivated. The country rises to ex-cultivation and selectively cleared undulating brown/black basalt soils and forest country interspersed with black soil spring-fed gullies.
A PMAV is in place with the vegetation map showing 100% white, but there has been careful retention of shade lines and vegetation where necessary.
Prior to development, this country was timbered with Blue Gum, Kurrajong, Appletree Box, Narrowleaf and Broadleaf Ironbark and Moreton Bay Ash. River Oak and Bottlebrush are dominant in the Stuart River.
The cultivation paddocks have been used to grow Lucerne, forage barley and oats in a dryland farming operation and are currently fallow in preparation for winter planting.
Improved grasses include Rhodes, Creeping Bluegrass, Burnett Bluegrass and Urochloa as well as Kikuyu in the spring fed gullies.
There are 14 main paddocks plus holding paddocks that make it ideal for rotational grazing.
Holly Park is in the Queensland Cattle Tick Free Zone giving direct access to all major southern cattle and livestock centres including the Dalby Saleyards, Coolabunia Saleyards at Kingaroy and into NSW.
The Stuart River forms the northern boundary and the boundary fence allows for permanent waterholes to be accessible to stock.

Rainfall & Climate
Holly Park enjoys a milder climate than most of the South Burnett as it is located only 15 kms from the Bunya Mountains Tourist areas. The average annual rainfall at Holly Park is approximately 672 mm (26 inches).

Residences
The main home is located on the highest point of the property allowing for magnificent views over Holly Park and west to the Bunya Mountains. Sitting 100 metres above the Stuart River creek flats, the views offered are some of the best in the South Burnett. Encompassing three bedrooms, this home is of double brick construction with verandahs on 3 sides and set in extremely well established and maintained, award-winning gardens which are home to fairy wrens and finches. Picture windows allow the gardens to be enjoyed both inside and out. The main bedroom and open-plan kitchen/living/dining area are airconditioned and a fireplace can keep the whole house warmer during winter. There is a BBQ and entertainment area on the verandah adjacent the lounge/dining room. This home has 3 x 5000 gal poly rainwater tanks. The house has a total roof area of 304.5 square metres.

House No.2 has separate access off Alice Creek Road and is situated nearer to the main steel cattle yards and fodder factory. It is a solid, older, highset Queenslander-style home that has previously been tenanted but requires some TLC. It would be ideal as a manager’s/caretaker’s residence following renovation or as a source of rental income.
This house is approximately 1km from the main homestead.

Improvements

FENCING
All fencing is in very good condition being 4 barb and a mixture of timber and steel end assemblies as well as timber split posts and steel picket fencing.
Holly Park is fenced into 14 well-watered paddocks making it ideal for rotational grazing.

STOCK YARDS
The main cattle yards are constructed of steel box posts and cattle-rail and are capable of handling 350 head. They were designed for ease-of-use and allow for natural cattle flow. There is a near-side Morrisey branding cradle, RPM All Rounder veterinary crush and weigh box all under cover and on concrete. A single deck loading ramp at the end of a long race, makes loading cattle a breeze.

HORSE FACILITIES
A second set of timber yards, purpose built for horse training, are situated close to the main home complex. 2 round yards, 2 small arenas, numerous other yards and small paddocks are strategically located around the complex. There is a horse wash bay with tie-up rails. This set-up is ideal for the horse enthusiast and has been used by the current owners as a training complex for horses.

SHEDS
● 36m2 2 bay lock up garage plus a 4-bay carport and rear workshop area attached is adjacent to the main residence

WATER
Water is a strong feature of Holly Park. The main bore with a capacity of 5200+ gph and equipped with a submersible pump and Yanmar diesel generator, pumps to 3 x 5000 gal elevated poly tanks which in turn reticulate to cement troughs throughout most the property.
The cattle yards and second home are supplied by water from a spring fed dam, pumped by electric pump.
There are 3 other bores, one equipped with a submersible pump ready to connect to a generator if needed (3,500 gal\hour), one equipped with an electric pressure pump and one unequipped.
The tank and trough system is supplemented by 6 dams (one which is spring fed), as well as access to waterholes in the Stuart River. There is adequate water from bores and a large dam to develop an irrigation area of approx. 20 acres.

FODDER FACTORY
The Fodder Factory incorporates a 120m2 coldroom facility set up with trays, and a 28 and 30 tonne silo to produce up to 2.1 tonnes of sprouted grain per day in full production.
This on-farm facility is a viable alternative to being forced to sell valuable breeders, buying expensive commercially produced feeds or finding agistment, while maintaining production and looking after the land.
