Elliott, QLD 4670

Overview

PRICE REDUCTION! CAN REMOVE ALL TREES AT BUYERS REQUEST!

Farmland in the Alloway, Elliott and Calavos district has historically been tightly held, and this property at 3903 Goodwood Road is no exception, being available for acquisition for the first time in over 50 years.

The Farm

The orchard consists of approximately 1120 trees, with two-thirds being Shepard variety and one-third Hass variety, spaced at 5 meters by 10 meters, all just under 8 years old. The farm features grey sandy loam to sandy soils, previously used for small crops, and includes approximately 7 acres of bushland sloping down towards the Elliott River. This bushland can be selectively cleared, making it suitable for livestock or recreational activities such as motorbiking.

Water security is well established with a 24-megalitre allocation drawn from the Elliott River, supported by an easily removable pump station to protect against river rises. Additionally, there is a 5-megalitre Department of Natural Resources allocation, providing a reliable water source. The property has also recently received approval for the installation of a bore.

The Home

The residence is a Maryborough brick home featuring three king-size bedrooms, two of which have built-in wardrobes, one bathroom, and attached single car accommodation. The home includes a combined kitchen and dining area, a spacious lounge, and a step down into the garage. The layout and size make it an ideal renovation project, with an oversized laundry offering ample space for a second bathroom. The open-plan design can be achieved by removing non-load-bearing walls. Elevated timber flooring, the roofline, and the slope of the parcel provide several options for extensions if desired.

The Sheds

The property includes large tobacco barns made from hardwood timber, which alone would be equivalent in value to a 25-acre parcel in the Alloway area. The first barn measures 4.9 meters by 4.9 meters, and the second barn is 9.8 meters by 4.9 meters, both standing over 8 meters high. There is an adjoining full-length carport on the southern side measuring 4.4 meters by 19.6 meters, part of which has a concrete slab, and a 4.8 meter by 4.9 meter lean-to between the barns, totaling 182 square meters under roof. Additionally, there is a 144.8 square meter (10.2 meters by 14.2 meters) colorbond shed with roller doors on three sides, each measuring 3 meters high by 3.65 meters wide.

This lifestyle acreage has been designed with convenience in mind, featuring a Gold Tech Automated Watering system that allows remote watering of the farm via phone from anywhere with internet access. There is also an Optus Tower located towards the rear of the block on Mahogany Creek Road, generating an additional income of $10,000 per year, plus GST if applicable.

With all the hard work completed, the property allows continuation of business as usual, regardless of vocation, while planning to make this house a home.
