Productive Grazing Country & Cattle Infrastructure:
The property is divided into five paddocks: Pandanus, Pangola 1, Pangola 2, Creek and Mackay.
Established Signal Grass, Pangola and Para Grass pastures provide a productive foundation for grazing. The current owner particularly values the Para Grass for supporting livestock weight gain, advising that cattle can fatten in approximately four to six weeks under suitable seasonal and management conditions. The property has comfortably supported approximately 30-35 breeders plus around 30 young cattle, depending on seasonal conditions and pasture management. The owner also estimates potential grazing income of approximately $30,000 per annum. Further supporting livestock operations are established cattle yards featuring a crush, loading ramp and holding facilities, with an owner-advised capacity of approximately 60-70 head.
Impressive Water Resources & Saltwater Creek Access:
Water is a standout feature, with a substantial spring-fed dam estimated at approximately 40 megalitres, four underground irrigation connections, a dam by-wash system and an overflow holding area. The property also enjoys saltwater creek frontage with private access, connecting to an extensive local estuary system described as stretching approximately 1.5 kilometres east to west. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the surrounding waterways, known for species including Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Blue Salmon and Threadfin Salmon. Whether casting a line, enjoying the natural surroundings or simply embracing the peaceful rural lifestyle, this is a wonderful addition to the property.
Underground power is connected throughout the property, adding further practicality to the existing infrastructure.
