Presenting an outstanding opportunity to secure a highly productive horticultural enterprise comprising 20.2 hectares (approximately 49.9 acres) in the tightly held Glenore Grove district—an area renowned for its rich Lockyer Creek loam soils, reliable water resources and convenient access to major markets.
Boasting approximately 17 hectares of productive cultivation with large, straight paddocks ideally suited to efficient farming operations, this exceptional property has been thoughtfully developed for commercial horticultural production. Combined with extensive water infrastructure, premium hydroponic facilities and quality improvements, this is a genuine turnkey farming enterprise.
This impressive property combines a sophisticated hydroponic growing operation, extensive water infrastructure, substantial packing and machinery facilities, and a spacious four-bedroom residence. It is ideally suited to established growers, agricultural investors or operators looking to expand into one of Queensland's premier horticultural regions.
At the heart of the property is just over two acres of greenhouse infrastructure, supported by a highly developed and fully automated hydroponic fertigation and irrigation system. Together with five equipped bores, an approximately 18-megalitre dam and a creek water licence, the property offers the infrastructure required to support a serious commercial farming operation.
Greenhouse and Hydroponic Infrastructure
The property features a high-quality, highly productive hydroponic growing system incorporating:
- Just over two acres of greenhouse infrastructure
- Netafim GrowSphere automated fertigation unit
- Netafim dripper irrigation system
- Reverse osmosis machine
- Two 2,000-litre fertigation tanks
- Two 2,000-litre fertigation mixing tanks
- Two 30,000-gallon water tanks
- One 6,000-gallon water tank
- One 2,500-gallon water tank
A standout feature of this property is the abundance of additional level, flood-free land surrounding the existing greenhouse complex. This provides an outstanding opportunity for future expansion, with ample room to construct additional greenhouses, extend the current hydroponic operation, or diversify into other intensive horticultural enterprises (subject to any necessary approvals).
The established infrastructure and excellent water supply significantly reduce the cost of future expansion, making this an ideal property for growers looking to increase production without the challenges of developing a greenfield site.
The existing automated hydroponic system provides an excellent platform for intensive horticultural production and offers considerable time and cost savings compared with establishing a comparable operation from the ground up.
