"CAMDEN" – A South Burnett Legacy of Productivity, Water Security & Family Heritage
Webster Cavanagh Rural, in conjunction with Eagleson & Co Livestock & Realty, are proud to present "Camden", a tightly held South Burnett farming property being offered to the market for the first time in generations.
Held by the same family for approximately 90 years, Camden is far more than a productive agricultural enterprise. It is a property rich in history, having nurtured and supported six generations of the one family. Opportunities to acquire holdings of this calibre, with such a remarkable family legacy, are increasingly rare.
Spanning 146.82 hectares (362.8 acres) across two Freehold Titles, Camden combines fertile alluvial soils, secure water resources, established irrigation infrastructure and quality improvements to create a highly versatile mixed farming operation.
The property features approximately 160 acres of cultivation, including around 117 acres currently serviced by irrigation infrastructure, while the balance provides productive grazing country. The vendor estimates the property is capable of carrying approximately 120 steers in conjunction with its cultivation program.
Water security is a standout feature. Two irrigation bores, RN167263 and RN167264, are each equipped with electric-start Lister motors driving 6-inch Pomona pumps and are estimated to produce approximately 12,000–15,000 gallons per hour. Water is distributed via an extensive network of 6-inch underground mainlines, servicing the irrigation area through a 5-inch side-roll irrigator and hand-shift equipment.
Further enhancing the property's water resources is a 20-hectare Meandu Creek Water Licence (446871), a stock and domestic bore servicing the homestead, together with reliable stock water supplied by Meandu Creek, Barker Creek and a series of natural lagoons located throughout the property.
The country is predominantly comprised of fertile alluvial black floodplain soils, renowned for their productivity and moisture-holding capacity, transitioning to lighter country surrounding the homestead and infrastructure precinct.
Accommodation is provided by a spacious Queenslander-style fibro homestead featuring seven bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, dining and lounge areas, together with two enclosed verandahs.
Infrastructure includes:
• Hay shed approximately 46m x 58m
• Barn shed approximately 50m x 19m
• Former piggery/dairy shed approximately 19m x 10m with 3-phase power connected
• Four-car garage/workshop with enclosed shed end approximately 23m x 8m
• Three silos comprising two 64-tonne silos and one 50-tonne silo
• Three garden sheds
• Large cattle yards capable of handling approximately 150 head, featuring a head bail and loading ramp
Fencing throughout the property is predominantly timber post construction with three and four barb wire, while the western boundary has recently been upgraded with steel pickets and four-barb fencing.
After nine decades of family ownership and six generations of stewardship, Camden now presents a rare opportunity for a new owner to write the next chapter of this remarkable South Burnett property's story.
