About this Property
This property sits very close to Home Hill, 1 hour south of Townsville, and 15 mins to Ayr. The property has been tightly held in the family for approx. 65 years, two generation.
The Burdekin has long been regarded as one of the most productive agricultural districts in Australia. In recent years harsh climatic conditions and water shortages in other parts of the country have further highlighted the region's strengths. Even in the face of Australia's worst drought in living memory, the mighty Burdekin remain resilient and prosperous, the reason for this can be summed up in one-word WATER!!!
That water supply includes a huge underground aquifer, the vast Burdekin and delta watercourses and the mighty Burdekin Falls Dam, which holds four times more water than the Sydney Harbour.
The Burdekin's abundant, all year-round supply of good-quality water is the regions number one asset.
The districts rich supply of irrigation water combines with about 300 days of sunshine a year and fertile, well-drained soils, to make the Burdekin the most productive sugar cane growing area in Australia.
About 80,000ha of land in the Burdekin is dedicated to sugar cane. Burdekin farmers produce an average of 120 tonnes of cane per hectare - well above the national average of 80 tonnes per hectare.

It is an above average producer and has an abundance of water. This property has potential to grow a variety of crops such as sweet corn, maize, sorghum, lucerne, beans, melons, capsicum and cotton any crop you desire. The sheer volume of water availability and the flexibility of this property create an outstanding investment opportunity, this property can be watered within 4-5 days in the hot summer months. Inspections are highly recommended as the vendors want to semi retire.
