Remarks - Situated on the urban fringe of Toowoomba, "Westview" presents a rare and sought-after opportunity to secure a vertically integrated small crop farming enterprise in one of Queensland's most productive agricultural regions - the eastern Darling Downs.

Blending rural lifestyle appeal with urban accessibility, "Westview" is a compelling prospect for horticulturalists, investors, or lifestyle buyers looking to capitalise on proximity to the thriving Garden City.

Renowned for its premium soils, the property features a mix of deep black to brown self-mulching clays, transitioning to gently elevated basalt country with light ironbark cover. Approximately 40* acres are under intensive small crop cultivation, supported by a well-established irrigation system with hydrants throughout. A further 17* acres -formerly cultivated - has reverted to native pasture, offering scope for expansion or enterprise diversification.

First time offered after three generations of family ownership.
