Area
77.28 ha. Approximately 190.963 acres.
Tenure
Lot 2 on RP619706 Freehold
Rockhampton Regional Council.
Services
Centrally located to Gracemere and Rockhampton. Burnett Highway frontage, with mail delivered daily and three phase power.
Gracemere Saleyards, Rockhampton Meatworks and Rockhampton Airport are all in close proximity of “Ashtons”.
Country
The picturesque landscape is made up of fertile alluvial creek flats with pondage pastures, swamps and eight hectares of established cultivation. The property has been established with a variety of improved pastures. These include rhodes grass, para grass, hymenachne, couch grass, swamp grasses and a variety of native blue grasses.
Water
Water is a feature of the property. The property is adjacent to two water courses that have permanent water holes. The renowned Springers Water Hole is on the northern boundary. Three paddocks are watered by natural waters and there is also a trough in the yards that is supplied from the irrigation bore. Water facilities are very low maintenance.
Irrigation
The property boasts two registered water licenses. One from a permanent hole in Washpool Creek and also one from a licensed irrigation bore. The bore has a sustainable flowrate of 16,000 GPH, with a proven ability to increase in volume if required. The cultivation is set up with four inch underground irrigation mains that are ideally situated to irrigate the four cultivation paddocks. There is also a private power line that runs to Washpool Creek.
Rainfall
This property boasts a very reliable annual rainfall of 850mm.
Carrying Capacity
Runs 80 head AE (adult equivalent) without utilization of cultivation.
Facilities
“Ashtons” is a very sustainable property. It is divided up into six paddocks of which two are used for cropping. There is also a cooler that is ideally situated for yarding cattle into before processing them through the yards. The working cattle yards are mostly of steel construction including a RPM vet crush, cement race and loading ramp. A six tonne silo is located at the yards. There are two troughs in the yards, supplied from a 5,500 gallon bore water tank.
Improvements
The modern brick homestead was built in 2013. It features open plan living with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and is air conditioned throughout. The house is surrounded by a concrete path that leads onto an outdoor entertainment area, perfect for the afternoon BBQ or early morning coffee with a view. There is 11,000 gallons of rain water storage plus 5,500 gallons of bore water storage, which is plumbed to the external taps only. The house yard has an established lawn and is enclosed by a black aluminum pool fence. “Ashtons” has significant storage under roof with a machinery and hay shed, which was built with council approval in 2014. The shed is 25m x 10m with two awnings on either side that are full length and 7.5m wide, making the total shed area 625m². A 24,000 gallon rain water tank is attached to the shed and connected to the house rain water storage. There is a portable forty foot open plan, air conditioned building, within close proximity to both the house and the shed.
Fencing
Fencing throughout the property is in good condition. Most fencing is constructed from wooden posts with four barb wires. Some steel post sections have been replaced in recent times. Paddock layout of the property is designed for ease of management and utilization. This is beneficial for continual and rotational grazing.
Agents Remarks
This is a very productive and diverse property. It has been held in the vendor’s family for the past twenty eight years. Ideally situated close to Rockhampton and Gracemere townships. “Ashtons” has been well improved, well maintained and has a high carrying capacity with the potential to increase production through the utilization of irrigation. The vendors are moving, so the property is being offered for genuine sale.
