A very unique property with high production, very easily managed. Abundant water for stock and irrigation.

LOCATION

Located only 4 kms from the township of Bororen and 50 kms from the major centre of Gladstone, ‘Alastor’ is a very heavy carrying cattle property.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Consisting of 376.7 acres in 3 Freehold titles and 43 acres of road reserve, the total area of grazing is 420 acres.

Lot and Plan: L25 FL40260; L10 CP886949; L205 FD161.

Annual Rates : Gladstone Regional Council $3300.10

The property has excellent improved pasture with predominantly Pangola and Paspalum grasses, and legumes Lotononis, Siratro, Wynn Cassia and Seca stylo. The improved pasture plus a 38 inch average rainfall allows for the high carrying capacity that 'Alastor' enjoys.

The 40 acres of irrigated cultivation with underground mains is used for hay production.

The vendor has consistently carried 170 breeders plus some replacement heifers and bulls, without using the irrigated country.

WATER

Water is a real feature with a 14,000 L/H bore and equipped with a solar pump. The bore is 18 metres deep with a standing water level of 4 metres. In addition, a spring fed irrigation dam, 2 other dams and large lagoon make water a real feature of this property.

FENCING and YARDS

There are 5 paddocks with a laneway system to the yards for ease of management. Fencing is all in good condition.

This property is ideally suited to controlled rotational grazing as pasture recovery is imminent, not only because of fertile soils, but also because of the shallow water table. The yards are solid with a mix of steel and timber, with vet crush, calf cradle and new loading ramp.

HOMESTEAD

A large comfortable 5 bedroom home is set in established gardens and maintained lawns. There is a recently renovated kitchen and bathroom plus large living room. There is 90,000lt of rainwater storage for the homestead and 40,000lt of bore water storage for the garden.

A 2 car garage, a 20m x 8m machinery shed plus 3 other sheds offer plenty of protection for machinery and hay.

SUMMARY

Ideally located only 4 kms from the Bruce Highway, access to saleyards at Gracemere and Biggenden, meatworks in Rockhampton, a distance of 160kms.

Schools are close by with a primary school in Bororen, P-10 in Miriam Vale and P-12 in Gladstone.

A Trailco 150 irrigator and diesel irrigation pump are included in the sale as well as some haymaking machinery.

'Alastor' needs to be inspected to fully appreciate the productivity and carrying capacity of this property.
