3-5 No.5 Branch Road, Silkwood, Cairns

Retire from the city and be a farmer.

This 25-acre riverfront property ( 10.25 Ha) is the perfect farm for the sea and tree changer. It has plenty of water from the bore which has been set up to irrigate the farm. Having previously grown bananas this versatile property would suit any tropical fruit orchid including limes, paw-paws, mangosteins, or lychees. It would be equally at home with a small herd of cattle.

There is a very well-established four-bedroom farmhouse that sits on the top of the rise and looks over the whole farm and down the Liverpool valley and to the mountains beyond. It is a true rural panorama. The house was built in the 60s and is a very solid construction with four massive bedrooms a good-sized kitchen and separate lounge and dining areas. Much of the living is done outside which is where the massive underroof area is perfect.

Shedding is by way of two massive steel structures. Hundreds of square metres under the roof and fully powered up. There are two main sheds, one serves as a machinery shed and the other was previously a packing shed and workshop. There is a guest accommodation area here as well as a worker's outdoor shower and toilet.

To raise a family at this property will be a joy. The kids will ride horses and motorbikes and fish off the riverbank. Located just a few minutes from the local schools, coffee, and butchershop there is also a local pub just down the road which serves excellent meals and has live music on the weekends.

Your whole family will be living the dream.
