Located between Bundaberg & Gladstone, this 3,953 acre (1,600ha) forestry lease is well set up for breeding stock and has 20 years remaining on the lease which ends 30/04/2043.
Although it would suit those who would like to run cattle, the property also lends itself to those of you looking for an "escape to" block for those days off. It would also be great for anyone into 4 wheel driving - think of the fun to be had with likeminded friends and family. There is a campsite area with a shower - hot water provided by lighting the donkey.
Capable of running 150 breeders + progeny, the block has been spelled for 18 months. Only 11km from the small country township of Rosedale and consists of Ironbark and Spotted gum on duplex and loam. Largely native pastures; pitted bluegrass, hairy panic, black spear grass, rhodes grass, windmill grass and wiregrasses, and legumes; seca stylo and wynn cassia.
Tracks through the property are excellent. Boundary fencing (three & four barb) will need attention and internal fencing is good. There are two main paddocks and two holding paddocks. A set of portable cattle yards service the back of the property and an older set of portable yards is located at the front of the property. Both are equipped with cattle crush, drafting and loading facilities.
The property is well watered with two dams and a solar bore (Mono submersible with 175W solar panel) which supplies 500 gallons an hour to a 5000 gallon tank and troughs. Needless to say on a property this size, there are umpteen semi-permanent seasonal waterholes.
Telstra mobile service around the property is good. Rates are approx. $1,038 per year with the annual land rent being $272 per year.
For those who love beaches and fishing, you are an easy drive to a good concrete boat ramp down Ferry Road on tidal Baffle creek, Lake Monduran for barramundi fishing and Norval Park Beach.
Rosedale has a general store with fuel, post office, hardware & you can get a great meal & cold drinks at the Rosedale Hotel.
Approx. distances: Rosedale 11km, Bundaberg 69km, Gladstone 138km, Agnes Water 74km.
