QUEENSLAND Rural has Stone River Station for private sale. This picturesque property offers lifestyle, cattle breeding and sugarcane production all within 35 minutes of Ingham and 90 minutes from Townsville.
Running through the property is the eastern branch of the Stone River which begins in the Stone River Gorge. Permanent swimming and fishing holes are a feature of this picturesque river.
There are other rivers and creeks which offer private swimming as well.
The property is well watered with dams and troughs, and is fenced into eight main paddocks with the fencing in good condition.
There is a pasture improvement program in place and the country is flood-free.
Along with the reliable cattle-breeding country, there are about 450 acres of cane with further development available. Average returns have been 13,000 tonnes progressively over the past three years, with CCS being mill average or better.
Stone River Station has run 2000 breeders previously, but with approximately 330ac already sown to decumbens and humidicola varieties, and further country already raked and stacked and ready to be sown.
Once this has been completed, the vendors estimate the carrying capacity will be increased to 2500 breeders.
The improvements include a three-bedroom, cabin-style, spacious homestead with a kitchen, separate lounge and dining, along with a large office.
A guest area is attached to the main house and a large entertaining area adjoins the homestead.
A major feature of the property are the new steel cattle yards, which have an eight-way draft and crush, head bail and the necessary cattle-working equipment. These yards were built in 2010.
Shedding includes a large machinery/hay shed at the cane, machinery shed at the homestead, hay shed, stables, storage shed and raised kennels for up to 16 dogs.
There are two, 25-tonne steel molasses storage tanks.
Some station plant is included in the sale and the agents can supply these details.
The property will be sold with 400 breeders and progeny, along with 10 bulls.
The asking price is $6,750,000.
