Large Cattle and Cropping Farm close to the Coast and the Clarence River

Somervale Station is one of the largest cleared land holdings on the eastern side of the Clarence River, adjoining State Forest and the Yuraygir National Park. <br/><br/>An icon in the local rural sector, historically owned by a pioneering cattle grazing family, running approx. 220 head comfortably, the property has now transitioned toward a multi-use farming enterprise where there is scope for much, much more.<br/><br/>Consisting of approx. 1034 acres in 15 separate titles, there is good road access to the property and there are major watering holes via springs, large billabongs and water reserves.<br/><br/>Two sets of cattle yards service the property and there is a new 4 bay colorbond shed and container set up for storage of equipment and machinery and personal amenity.<br/><br/>In recent years a Macadamia orchard has been planted in the front section of the property, which are close to maturity and soon to begin producing a crop, where the returns will begin after the hard work in the last 5 years. <br/><br/>Significantly, the land not only holds agricultural value and productivity potential, but is also, due to it's proximity to the National Park, a place where the Coastal Emu grazes and provides sanctuary while nesting and raising chicks.<br/><br/>Nature lovers and livestock growers both will appreciate the natural beauty of the property where stands of native timber have been left for wildlife and birds and many water holes and creeks service the land.<br/><br/>Fences are mainly in good order or new and much of the land is currently leased to a local cattle grower. <br/><br/>The old hut, still standing near-by, which provided a getaway for the workers, is a wonderful piece of history.<br/><br/>Running north to Shark Creek from the fringe of the Pillar Valley, this is one of the most impressive agricultural properties, yet to reach full potential, in the Clarence Valley.<br/><br/>Talk to Fiona Beamer for more information, 0419 497447<br/><br/>DISCLAIMER: Whilst Clarence Property Agents has taken every precaution to establish accuracy of information in marketing, all relevant checks and searches are to be carried out by any prospective purchaser to verify the information provided.
