Description: This fully operational, Native Essential Oil Plantation on 160.32ha (396.10acres) on three titles with Snake Creek running through is an aquatic wonderland. From the road, drive down a winding driveway into the Hidden Valley and find all that awaits you - golden and green plantations with extensive bird life, whistling ducks, egrets, kookaburras and brolgas all inhabiting the wet lands.
Unique three bedroom highset Mid Western American style 202m2 home built in 1982 with exposed cedar ceilings and beams that bring a lot of warmth to this home. Open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area lead out to the outdoor entertainment living area which overlooks the beauty of the property. A delightful country kitchen with timber cupboards and tiled bench tops is the ideal place to cook up the preserves. Imagine in winter the old fashioned wood stove with copper flue which features in the kitchen warming up the living area and the smell of country cooking filling the air. There is also an electric upright stove for easy use. The bathroom and ensuite are in the process of being renovated.
There is a 20,000 gallon concrete water tank on the house. There are three large bedrooms, one being used as an office and all featuring large built-in wardrobes. A great family farmhouse.
Wake up in the morning to find the kangaroos nibbling the parsley from your vegetable garden and kookaburras perched on the railings. There is an established citrus and stone fruit orchard which also includes bananas and mulberries, providing all your fresh fruit year-round.
The owners of this property pride themselves on being environmentally friendly and the 80 acres of Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia and Melaleuca Quinquinerva) are eco-farmed without pesticides and insecticides. Income from the Tea Tree, Niaouli Oil and Neralina, as well as the Tea Tree mulch which is much sought-after by the gardening industry, is approximately $80,000 per year. You could easily double the income by harvesting twice a year. Currently it is being harvested once a year.
12 acres have pipe-fed reticulation with an underground 2 inch main. The underground mains go to different water stations. There are three dams, a bore and also Snake Creek running through the property with billabongs which make the owners of this property water barons.
A large 5m x 12m shade house and 5m x 5m potting up shed fits 50,000 plants. There is also an open bay 15m x 9m machinery shed as well as a 9m x 9m skillion and also an 8m x 8m skillion to provide ample room for storage.
Next door to the property is the airstrip - you just need to make a phone call to book it and you can have your friends or family fly in for lunch.
Regular mail is 5 days a week, however this small community bands together and each take it in turns to do a Sunday run to deliver the Sunday paper. Rubbish collection is weekly and the recycle is fortnightly. School bus picks up at the gate; there is a Primary School in Winfield which is only about 5 kms down the road. The majestic Baffle Creek is approximately 7kms away with a boat ramp.
Rates are $1,200 per year and payable to the Bundaberg Regional Council.
