Description

'Red Hill' Development Land - Irrigation Farm Boasting the largest flat parcel of deep rich red volcanic soils on the tightly held Fairy Hill plateau. 'Red Hill' commands an enviable position. Perched high on the frost free plateau and spanning a sizeable 151 acres of premium land with vast development potential. This property provides the astute purchaser an array of endless possibilities.

Strategic Location

- Minutes from Casino, under an hour's drive to beautiful Byron Bay beaches. - So convenient to Ballina Byron Gateway Airport, Coolangatta Airport and 2.5 hours to Brisbane. - Easy access to markets and infrastructure. State of the art Blueberry packaging facilities nearby. - Neighbouring land adjoins the existing Fairy Hill housing estate, with potential for future integration. - Magnificent 360 degree panoramic views of the landscape including the spectacular Border Rangers. - This highly productive parcel of land presents the rare opportunity to obtain a very versatile holding. - School bus, mail delivery, and waste removal services.

Development Potential

- Future subdivision potential, with neighbouring land zoned for residential development. - Subdivide or develop (STCA) for residential or commercial use. - Potential for town water and sewage connection, with nearby infrastructure development. - Commercial horticultural ventures, ideal soil and climate. Neighbouring property is already successfully growing blueberries in a lucrative commercial operation, being Mountain Blue Farms. - Whether you are expanding an existing agricultural business or diving into commercial berry production,

this is the ideal property poised for success. - Strong demand for blueberries in local and international markets. - Develop blueberries and explore value-adding opportunities, such as:

• Value adding process and packaging facilities for fresh or frozen blueberries, e.g jams, juices or foods. • Development of blueberry based products. • Agri-tourism opportunities, like farm tours, pick-your-own blueberries, farm stays / cabins or on farm restaurant - paddock to plate.

Water Security

- Water is a feature of the property. This area is renowned for a very secure water supply from the underground water table. The water has been tested and is extremely pure, analysis available.

- Every inch of this fully arable fertile land can be irrigated from the 5 irrigation bores, 5 inch underground mains with risers and 88 megalitre irrigation license.

- The associated water license conditions enable the use of water at any rate and time also with the ability to carry over water from the previous water year.

- 2 domestic stock bores with windmills. - 3 x 5000-gallon potable water tanks. - Average annual rainfall of 45-47 inches (1200mm). - A suitable location is available to add a spring fed irrigation dam if required, (non metered) subject to relevant harvestable rights limits. - Water security for all year round production.

Agricultural Potential

- Fertile soils suitable for diverse crops, including blueberries, avocados, citrus, mangoes, and more. - Existing infrastructure for hay production and cattle grazing. - Strong agricultural history, having previously grown

tea commercially in a government run operation, commercial peanuts, soybean, corn, oats, and hay. - Neighbouring properties are growing blueberries commercially, mangoes and avocados. - Conversely if you want to run breeders, fatten steers or grow fodder, this property represents a chance to add a proven cropping paddock to your portfolio.  - The current owner has developed the property by adding to the already laser and contour levelled paddocks by investing all the capital and infrastructure to operate the farm. A massive undertaking which must be acknowledged considering the scarcity of prime rural holdings combined with quality land, soils and most importantly water security.
