Last Listing description (July 2024)

Perfectly positioned halfway between Mareeba and Atherton - in Walkamin - renowned as having one of the most equitable climates in the world, is this highly productive rural property with an approximate land area of 80.43 hectares (with multiple titles). Walkamin is frost free and very rarely gets fog or heavy dew as there is a continual breeze throughout the year. It does not get the high summer humidity levels like the coast or Mareeba.

This property benefits from a 304ML water allocation from the Mareeba-Dimbulah irrigation scheme. The water is from Tinaroo Falls Dam via Atherton which is reticulated via an open irrigation channel system and then throughout the property via subsidiary mainlines.

The neighbouring properties have been developed with either livestock or cropping (successfully growing bananas, avocados, blueberries, kiwi fruit, paw paw, coffee, custard apples, peanuts, potatoes, onions, small crops, wheat, maize, mangoes, and sugar cane). The history of this property shows it has successfully produced crops such as bananas, peanuts, sugar cane, avocados, mangoes, onions and more...

Currently grown on the farm:
- Approx. 60ha of sugar cane (current crop not included) with ratooning ability for next season and beyond
- 850 Shepard avocados trees (approx. 8 years old) + 250 Shepard avocado trees (approx. 3 years old)
- Approx. 350 Kensington Pride mango trees (this year's crop included)
- Substantial volumes of cane mulch will remain after the sugar cane harvest (suitable for baling or for use on the incoming plantation)

Approx. 70% of the soil on this property is “Tolga” which has a very high soil productivity and minimal limitations, while there is approx. 20% of “Walkamin” with high soil productivity and some limitations. The balance of soil type is “Morgan” which is not currently farmed.

Property features include:
- 80.43 hectares, multiple titles
- Comprehensive inventory list to support the day-to-day farm operations including irrigation, crop production and crop harvest
- 304ML water allocation gravity fed from the channel
- Potential to dam the creek that runs through the northern boundary of the property
- Masonry block main farm residence (4 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms) + cottage style dwelling
