Land Uses:

? Grazing - an extensive pasture improvement program has been undertaken over the past 2 years in which all pastured areas have been replanted with a mixture of Gatton Panic, Rhodes, Digitaria Ciliaris, Bisset Bluegrass and Stylo and Glycine legumes. The pasture has been spelled for the past 2 years to ensure optimum establishment of the new pastures.

? Forested Areas - the property is surrounded by well-timbered native forests, so wildlife habitat is generous, and virtually all species of wildlife endemic to southeast Queensland can be found here. Birdlife especially is prolific, including birds that are considered to be rare, such as Wompoo Fruit Dove and Wonga Pigeon, numerous smaller pigeons and doves, various types of Owls including Powerful Owl, Wedge Tail Eagle and other raptors, multiple species of quail and ducks, some more common than others and many more too numerous to mention. Elevated 'tree stands' or viewing platforms provide great opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.

? Privacy - The road is practically a dead end in that the only passing traffic services the two grazing properties upstream from ?Clairevale? or a few vehicles passing through on the restricted access road over the range. It provides privacy without remoteness.

This spectacular property is situated in the heart of the Mary Valley and only a short drive to some of the best beaches that Australia has to offer. Truly immerse yourself in this region!
