360.97hectares
Mundurin is ideally located in the Burdekin Shire, 6 km south of Giru, 57 km south of Townsville and 35 km north of Ayr and only 2 mins off the Bruce Hwy. The property with a total area of 360.97 Ha or 891 Ac approx. has 10 Freehold titles, 1 Term Lease and 3 Permit to Occupy.
Soils vary from river alluvial deposits to lighter sandy soils to the east. The bulk of the property is flat river flood plain with some swampy areas which facilitates significant pondage pasture areas populated with Para & Hymenachne grasses with the balance of country growing couches, Guinea and Pangola. There is an area of forest grazing adjacent to the railway line.
Lot 22 (117ha), which present owners utilise in high wet season to keep stock away from any potential flooding on the lower parts of the property.
There is approx. 51 Ha (125 acres) under cane which is leased until end of 2023 on a share farming basis. This could be continued or even expanded or conversely remove the cane to make room for more grazing country. The property appears fairly free of weeds.
The Haughton River supply is delivered via a 150 mm centrifugal pump and electric motor. This also supplies water back to the main house. The Burdekin channel water is delivered by a 150 mm pump on Trembath Rd which feeds to irrigation mains on the farm.
Classic 100-year-old high set Queenslander is in excellent condition with timber features and polished floors. Three bedrooms upstairs plus office, family / dining and lounge. Large kitchen with walk in pantry. Screened, wrap round verandah with a great outlook. Split system air conditioning. Downstairs is another 2 bedrooms and kitchenette, bathroom and toilet and laundry.
The one bedroom, one bathroom cottage with a steel frame, timber and corrugated iron is presently rented at $150 pw or would suit as a caretaker or workers accommodation.
The steel cattle yards are well shaded and equipped with loading ramp, crush, branding race & cradle, receiving yards / coolers. They are adequate for this size operation.
Presently carrying approximately 160 cows, 120 calves plus 75 head that were weaned last year and 90 odd current weaners and early weaners plus 3 bulls. The cattle which are very quiet and acclimatised are available for sale separately. Final numbers determined at time of sale.
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a quality coastal grazing / farming operation with the option of expanding either the grazing or the farming capability of the property.
Its location close to Townsville and Ayr and on the edge of the highly productive Burdekin basin tick all the boxes location wise.
With its reasonable scale for the area, very comfortable homestead with character, excellent access, it would suit a semi retiring grazier or someone looking for a drought proof fattening block or even a professional from Townsville looking for a viable lifestyle rural property.
