House
Lot 12 Astorquia Road is truly a Garden of Eden, with an incredible collection of tropical fruit trees and edible plants that would rival a botanical garden. Lovingly created by the current owners over the past 20 years, this remarkable property has been transformed by hand into a thriving and profitable niche farming enterprise.
Specialising in Monkey Bananas and Plantain varieties, the farm enjoys an outstanding reputation within the industry. This specialised market is closely guarded due to the consistently strong returns, with 5kg boxes of Monkey Bananas achieving $35–$45 and 10kg boxes of Plantains returning $45–$70. The sale includes the recognised established brand, existing marketing channels, and trusted agents, allowing the new owners to step straight into a profitable, turnkey business.
The property benefits from a 27ML water allocation directly from the Johnston River, ensuring a reliable water supply year-round. Fertile soils, combined with an efficient irrigation and fertigation system, provide ideal growing conditions.
Bordering the Johnston River, the setting is simply breath-taking. The manicured riverbanks, soothing sounds of flowing rapids, and picturesque outlook from the home create a peaceful lifestyle unlike any other. Whether you enjoy fishing for barramundi, entertaining family and friends, or exploring opportunities such as eco-tourism or intimate weddings, the potential is endless.
Self-sufficiency is easily achievable, with an abundance of fresh produce and a substantial 10kW solar system with battery backup and mains power, keeping operating costs low while powering the electric submersible irrigation pump.
The improvements include:
- Main one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence.
- Separate two-bedroom, one-bathroom shouse.
- Converted shipping container office with ensuite.
- Fully equipped packing shed complete with irrigation, fertigation systems, hydraulic gantry, wheel, and all infrastructure required to operate the business.
Adding even greater value, all machinery is included, with a comprehensive inventory available upon request. The sale features three Kubota tractors, a bagging machine, and the equipment needed to continue operations from day one.
With the current owners retiring after two decades of building this exceptional property, this is a rare opportunity to secure an established lifestyle farm with proven income, outstanding infrastructure, and an idyllic riverside setting.
$950,000 represents exceptional value for a property that offers an enviable lifestyle and a business opportunity that many can only dream of.
