Rarely are we able to offer a rural property with a river boundary, rainforest covered hills a beautiful home and well managed farmland. This property offers great infrastructure and is just one of those special places, it certainly grabbed us when we had a good look around. Located just 20 kilometres north-west of Ingham and 130 kilometres north of Townsville's city centre, this working sugar cane farm stretches from the Herbert River all the way to the boundary of Girringun National Park. Encompassing approximately 80 acres of productive farmland, the property yields between 2,600 and 3,000 tonnes of sugar cane per year. The remainder of the land is made up of established homestead yards, natural bushland rising into the mountain face, and a beautiful tropical creek that provides a near year round water source. There is an area of approx 5ha that is currently under grass if creating an area for grazing suited you. Not currently fenced
Currently run under management by excellent operators, there is an option to extend managing the farm (lease) beyond 2025 or for a new buyer to take over management.
There are two homes on the property, The original homestead, built in the 1930s, is a sturdy lowset fibro residence with a fenced yard and a detached two-car shed currently rented at $210wk.
The main residence, constructed in 1997, is an imposing modern brick Queenslander. It features four bedrooms with built-in robes, two bathrooms upstairs, and a third bathroom on the lower level. The layout also allows for the potential addition of a granny flat or studio downstairs. Wide wraparound verandas encircle the home, providing excellent protection from rain and natural cooling during the warmer months in addition to spectacular views from every angle. Underneath, there is space to park four vehicles, a built-in bar with a sink, and a full 6-metre wall of built-in cupboards offering extensive storage.
Supporting infrastructure includes a fully lockable 27-metre machinery shed and workshop fitted with a 5kW solar panel system, along with a 6-metre raised shed and a 7-metre square open shed, all conveniently located near the main house.
For fishing enthusiasts, the Herbert River forms the property's western boundary, offering easy access to freshwater angling. Just 25 minutes away, the coastal towns of Lucinda and Taylors Beach provide direct boat access to Hinchinbrook Island, the Palm Island group, and the Great Barrier Reef, making this location ideal for those who love the outdoors.
