This delightful Peachester property provides the owners with a relaxed and pleasurable lifestyle, with the bonus of being a part of a wonderful hinterland community, however still within close proximity to Brisbane and the
beautiful Sunshine Coast beaches.
Multiple options are available in regards to the operation of the Macadamia farm. It is easily managed and could be run on a part time basis, allowing for a relaxed lifestyle with the bonus of an additional income. It could be
sufficient as a retirement supplemented income, or could be worked as a side interest, complementing other work commitments.
Harvest period, is typically April to August. The nuts are collected once they have fallen from the trees onto the
ground. This collection could be completed on a weekly or fortnightly basis, to suit the new owner’s lifestyle requirements. Machinery is used for mowing, collecting, de husking and sorting the nuts prior to delivery to the factory.
This enterprise is suitable for first time farmers, or experienced farmers from various previous business backgrounds, or even tree changers from the city.!!!! The owners are happy to offer any training and information that will
assist the new owners new to the industry. The Macadamia industry itself offers great support, so previous
experience is not necessary.
The orchard is now at an age to continue to improve yields as the trees mature further. It has been reported that Macadamia trees have no set life span and produce for many years (known trees in this area are over forty years
old).
Water supply is plentiful, with this area reporting to have 60 inches or approximately 1500mm on average rainfall per annum, more than sufficient for the Macadamia trees requirements. However the property also has 3 dams, all spring fed, plus a running creek, therefore providing ample additional water sources if required.
The home is warm, practical and comfortable, with a pretty northern outlook towards the Maleny ranges and offering breathtaking views over the plantation with its neat rows and grassed corridors. Entertaining is a breeze in the
wonderfully covered large screened outdoor timber decked area , the scene where many large family gatherings
have taken place. A large modern stylish kitchen is the heart of the home, flowing through to separate dining,
breakfast area and lounge room. Main areas are tiled throughout including bathrooms and laundry with ample
storage space and many extra quality features.
The new owners of this attractive home and productive farm will not only enjoy the lifestyle, but the milder
Peachester climate, due to its elevation Peachester generally averages 3 degrees cooler in summer and winter,
than Beerwah which is only 10 minutes away.
