WELCOME TO RED HILL

Expressions of Interest Closing 11th December, 2024

Boasting the largest flat parcel of deep rich red volcanic soils on the tightly held Fairy Hill plateau. 'Red Hill' commands an enviable position. Perched high on the frost free plateau and spanning a sizable 151 acres of premium land with vast development potential. This property provides the astute purchaser an array of endless possibilities.

LOCATION:

- Minutes from Casino, under an hour's drive to beautiful Byron Bay beaches.

- So convenient to Ballina Byron Gateway Airport, Coolangatta Airport and 2.5 hours to Brisbane.

- Opportunity for a residential subdivision (STCA) and land bank for the future.

- Magnificent 360 degree panoramic views of the landscape including the spectacular Border Rangers.

- This highly productive parcel of land presents the rare opportunity to obtain a very versatile holding.

- Easy access to markets and infrastructure.

- School bus, mail delivery, and waste removal services.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL:

- Future subdivision potential as neighbouring land "Araluen" already approved for subdivision adjoins the existing Fairy Hill housing estate - Araluen Heights, with potential for future integration.

- Perfect for rural residential blocks or commercial use (STCA).

- Potential for town water and sewage connection, with nearby infrastructure development.

- Commercial horticultural ventures, ideal soil and climate. Neighbouring property is successfully growing blueberries in a lucrative commercial operation, being Mountain Blue Farms.

- Agri tourism opportunities, like farm stays / cabins, health retreat, farm tours, pick-your-own fruit or on farm restaurant - paddock to plate.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY:

- Benefit from the growing demand for flood-safe lands in arguably one of the most progressive areas of the Northern Rivers.

- Leverage the property's proximity to the South Fairy Hill residential area (Summerland Estate) with hundreds of residential lots in development.

- Potential for dual occupancy, with a dwelling entitlement attached to the property.

AGRICULTURAL POTENTIAL:

- Strong agricultural history, having previously grown tea commercially in a government run operation, commercial peanuts, soybean, corn, oats, and hay.

- Fertile soils suitable for diverse crops, including blueberries, avocados, citrus, mangoes, and more.

- Existing infrastructure for hay production and cattle grazing.

- Conversely if you want to run breeders, fatten steers or grow fodder, this property represents a chance to add a proven cropping paddock to your portfolio.

- The current owner has developed the property by adding to the already laser and contour levelled paddocks by investing all the capital and infrastructure to operate the farm. A massive undertaking which must be acknowledged considering the scarcity of prime rural holdings combined with quality land, soils and most importantly water security.

WATER SECURITY:

- Water is a feature of the property. This area is renowned for a very secure water supply from the underground water table. The water has been tested and is extremely pure, analysis available.

- Every inch of this fully arable fertile land can be irrigated from the 5 irrigation bores, 5 inch underground mains with risers and 88 megalitre irrigation license.

- The associated water license conditions enable the use of water at any rate and time also with the ability to carry over water from the previous water year.

- 2 domestic stock bores with windmills.

- 3 x 5000-gallon potable water tanks.

- Average annual rainfall of 45-47 inches (1200mm).
