Coastal cattle property with the ULTIMATE lifestyle! + Self Sufficiency + Extra income!

Welcome to 'Orkabie Downs'<br/><br/>GRAZING + SELF SUFFICIENCY + EXTRA INCOME<br/><br/>The owners of this quality grey Brahman cattle breeding farm are ready to downsize and offer this property to new custodians. The 3000 acre property straddles the Bruce Highway and boasts two creek frontages, 4 titles, 12 paddocks (with the ability to create several more) each serviced by either dams, creeks or gullies, good quality 3 or 4 barb fencing and the ability to run 250 head of breeders all year long.<br/><br/>The large, well designed, timber and steel cattle yards are in perfect condition and are situated away from the house under the shade of beautiful poinciana trees. There's a 6 x 3m saddle shed and water trough servicing this area.<br/><br/>The shouse is situated alongside the beautiful crocodile free creek which is bustling with birdlife and hasn't run dry in the 50 years the owner has lived in the area. The shouse is watered by 2 x 5000 gallon rain water tanks and the animals are watered by the gravity fed 5000 gallon creek water tank which can also be connected to the house. There is also a second dwelling on the property that has a long term lease in place.<br/><br/>Situated in the wet-dry tropics with an annual rainfall of approximately 1500mm, there's certainly no shortage of water. The 12 x 9m fully lined and insulated shouse contains two bedrooms, open plan kitchen, dining and lounge, bathroom with large shower cubicle and a sizeable study/laundry area. There are whirly birds on the roof and ceiling fans in the lounge and main bedroom. The main bedroom is big at 3.5m x 5m and the second bedroom 3.5m x 4m. The best part of the house is relaxing among the potted ferns under the 12 x 5.5m awning gazing through the rose garden to the treelined creek beyond. Reduced power bills are a bonus with the 4.2 kw back to grid solar array and two phase power in the shed is ideal for welding and running equipment. The house yard has brand new dog mesh and there is an air conditioned 6 x 3m donga which would be suitable for an office, granny flat or teenager's retreat. Hidden behind the donga you will find a private outdoor bathroom complete with bath tub, shower and chandelier. <br/>The property makes extra income from the lease of a telecommunications tower as well as being a hipcamp host; welcoming campers who enjoy a real taste of farm life.<br/><br/>Now to the nuts and bolts; as this property is offered as WIWO it comes complete with a 12 x 16m fully concreted machinery shed full of a lifetime collection of nuts and bolts. There's also a 2020 New Holland 75HP tractor with four in one bucket, slasher, forks and post hole digger with only 110 hours. The cattle truck and four wheel motorbike are also available if the new owners require them.<br/><br/>This property is the true meaning of 'tightly held' coming to market for the first time 3 generations. 'Orkabie Downs' has served the family very well over this time as a low maintenance and profitable cattle enterprise in a great location. With very high average rainfall and a tropical climate, it presents as an excellent opportunity to purchase sizeable coastal breeder country with multiple titles. Well positioned in the beautiful Mackay region, you are only a short drive from the Great Barrier Reef and all the fishing and recreation it has to offer, with multiple boat ramps, islands and creeks for fishing and crabbing under half an hour away. There is also the added benefit of purchasing the property as a going concern with 220 High Grade Brahman Cows, Replacement Heifers and Plant & Equipment, offering buyers a ready-made breeder enterprise<br/>
