Situated approximately 30 kilometers east of Clermont, this property is nestled in a well-regarded grazing district adjacent to Huntly Creek.

The property boasts extensive pasture development, featuring 600 acres of Leucaena and 2,000 acres of improved pastures, including varieties such as Florence Blue Grass, Butterfly Pea, and Desmanthus. These are complemented by productive stands of Buffel, Mitchell, Flinders, and native Queensland and Forest bluegrasses.

Water availability is a key asset of this property, featuring nine quality bores that service 17 tanks and 30 troughs through an extensive reticulated poly pipeline system. The property is equipped with multiple solar, diesel, and mains-powered bores, ensuring reliable stock water distribution throughout the property, with central watering points strategically located across the cell grazing system. Originally subdivided into nine main paddocks, the property has been developed into 52 paddocks, enhancing pasture management and carrying efficiency.

Operational infrastructure includes robust steel cattle yards equipped with concrete troughs, a covered vet crush, calf race, seven-way drafting pound, and a single deck loading ramp. Structural improvements consist of a three-bedroom main residence with an office and open-plan living area, a two-bedroom cottage, a 30m x 12m galvanised machinery shed, and a four-bay carport.
