32 Acre Mango Plantation at Rita Island

This 32 acre established Orchard of 858 Kensington Pride Mango Trees is fully irrigated with water from an Electric Submersible Bore Pump on the property.
The vendors are considering retirement after having farmed this and a sister 35 acre Orchard property at Mount Kelly, also in the Burdekin district. Both properties are currently on the market. Rita Island is approximately 20 minutes east of Ayr and boasts rich light loamy soils perfect for producing quality sweet mangoes.
Last year's production yielded 14,000 trays of fresh fruit for market and 13,000 kg of fruit was processed for juice.
The sale includes a 20m X 12.5m Packing Shed with all Grading, Sorting, Dipping and Polishing equipment to package the best quality fruit. There is a carton storage area and a Cold Room with forced air and gassing facility measuring 10m x 5m.
This property does not include a home but does have Shower and toilet facilities at the Shed with second Domestic Bore Pump supplying water for the facility. An extension to the shed 15m x 6.5m houses machinery and equipment which is listed on the machinery list included below and included in the sale.
Rita Island is serviced by Burdekin Shire Council and has weekly Garbage and Green collection Services. There is a primary School approximately 8 minutes drive from the property, located at Jarvisfield. A School Bus services Rita Island for both Primary and Secondary Schools in Ayr.
