Set in a quiet, tightly held pocket of the Mackay region, this fertile 162-acre (65.56ha) former cane property blends productivity with a laid-back rural lifestyle. The swimming holes along Zamia Creek, impressive seasonal waterfalls and trails leading to ocean views from the top of the mountain make this property truly unique.
The tastefully refreshed character cottage (circa 1920s-1930s) features open-plan living, two large bedrooms, one bathroom and air-conditioning throughout. Flowing from the living hub is a huge outdoor living area delivers sweeping mountain views. A partially completed, plumbed one-bedroom granny flat with ensuite, adds flexibility for extended family, guests or future income (STCA). Dotted around the immaculate grounds, low-maintenance fruit trees deliver a steady harvest.
Operationally, the property is set up to be easy and reliable. Approximately 90 acres are open and around 100 acres are grazeable, with a pasture mix of signal, humidicola, pangola, rhodes and legumes. Currently rotating 40-50 head of cattle (plus horses) across six paddocks, the fencing includes substantial stretches of brand-new four-barb. There are panel cattle yards with head bale and ramp to keep handling straightforward.
Water is a standout. The house and shed are supplied by 4 x large rainwater tanks as well as a pristine, drinkable house bore. There's a large central dam as well as an additional bore equipped with a Lister pump suitable for irrigation. This is a high-rainfall pocket with genuine water security.
Shedding is first class: the 22m x 7m Colourbond shed comprises of three open bays and three enclosed workshop bays, providing flexible space for work, storage or machinery.
