WALK IN - WALKOUT
After 24 years and with the kids grown, having operated a thriving mechanical business and fruit farm, we have decided to downsize. We have placed this unique property on the market for others to discover the peace and tranquillity, clean air and beach lifestyle that has given our family a great income and rural bliss for so many years.
LOCATION
The unique 40-hectare neatly-arranged passionfruit and dragonfruit farm contains some World Heritage Rainforest and is found 1 hour south of Cairns. You'll love living just 1km from Bramston Beach. It's an easy horse ride to the ocean, or it takes just a few minutes to strap your surf ski to the car and be paddling on the calm ocean waters. Grab a coffee or essentials at the local cafe and store and keep a look out for the amazing wildlife, including colourful birdlife, Ulysses butterflies and cassowaries that wander and feed on ripe fruit.
All the services and shopping you could want are so easy to access just 10 minutes up the road at Mirriwinni where you will find a post office and general store. Just five minutes further and you have Babinda, boasting their famous bakery, butcher, heritage listed pub and supermarket. Venture into Innisfail for bigger shopping trips, where there are ample shopping choices. The school bus picks up from the front gate and services public and private schools. Swim in the cool waters of Babinda Boulders or Josephine Falls, day trips to the Tablelands and the islands ~ it's all here.
FAMILY HOME
The existing, well-maintained house is your opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds - an elevated, rural lifestyle with all the modern conveniences of a comfortable family home. This 9m x 21m shed house has been cleverly designed to take advantage of the natural surroundings and breezes, with an expansive 12m x 9m living space that flows out to the outdoor entertainment area. The 3 bedrooms are fully equipped with built-in wardrobes in two bedrooms and a walk-in robe in the master bedroom. Newly renovated bathroom with fixtures. The kitchen has a gas cooktop, dishwasher and pantry. New tiled flooring is laid throughout the shared living areas keeping the house cool, easy to clean and modern. The home is also fully air-conditioned and equipped with ceiling fans throughout to be comfortable through the tropical North Queensland days.
But it's not just about the inside. This property boasts a much-loved 75m2 outside entertainment area, complete with a year old above-ground 6.1m x 3.8m Sorrento pool - perfect for enjoying balmy Queensland evenings.
This is a great home for the family with busy lives who want to get straight into their treescape life. The school bus at the front gate services 3 schools in the area, making it easy to get the kids to school on time. NBN and telephone service are connected, so you can start using them right away, and the property is serviced by a weekly garbage collection service. There are even well-maintained tanks on the site offering you up to 40,000 litres of water storage.
When it comes to relaxing, there is ample parking and shed space for a fishing boat, caravan and other toys so that you take full advantage of life so close to the beach and estuaries, bush tracks and stunning forest scapes.
FARM
This is your chance to grow high-value crops or dabble in grow-your-own self-sufficiency. This farm has everything you need to get started. The cleared paddocks boast lush, fertile soils. The current commercially producing passionfruit and dragonfruit farm is ready to replant at the end of the year for income return from the following September. Box your produce in the fully equipped packing shed and load it onto trucks for Market (or sell it locally) with well-maintained roads to accommodate large trucks. There is a passionfruit grading machine, coolroom and all needed equipment to pack, store and send produce.
Fully irrigated water system. Water is plentiful with a licenced spring-fed bore 6" and 5000lts/hr. Consider grazing a horse or two or other farm animals that support you living off the land and enjoying all that nature offers. This farm is a great investment for someone looking for a turnkey business.
