240 Ballantyne Road, Captain Creek QLD 4677

It is quite rare to find good grazing properties so close to Agnes Water so this will be a perfect property for those wanting to hobby farm whilst being close to a seaside township.

Having a cute 2 bedroom cottage plus a large bedroom in the shed close by and a machinery shed, these 342 acres (138.4ha) are exceptionally lovely as you have a blend of cleared grazing land, some timbered country and the bonus of having over 1.6km along Oyster Creek which is seasonal with pristine rainforest. Two tractors including a 2019 New Holland with approx. 600 hours on the clock, slasher & farm ute plus furniture in the cottage are included in the sale.

Overlooking the property, mains power is connected to the comfortable home which has an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge room. Cooking is done on an electric stove, both bedrooms are a good size and the bathroom, toilet and laundry are combined. Hot water is electric and total rainwater collection is approx. 12,000 gallons.

Close by, within the fenced house yard is a machinery shed (one bay of which has been converted into a bedroom). Part of the machinery shed has high clearance, perfect for those larger tractors.

Capable of running 100 breeders or 130 steers (currently running 2 bulls 45 breeders with 20 calves), the property is fully fenced and divided into 6 paddocks. Approx 2km of fencing is new. There is also some solar powered electric fencing. Gates around the block are all steel & well hung. The yards are very workable with a loading ramp, and a Cavalier Crush on a concrete slab. The best thing is the crush is underroof.

Most of the block is zoned white with a PMAV locking it in. There are 5 dams, 4 billabongs and a bore providing approx. 261 gallons p/h of potable water. A Lister 16kva generator pumps water from the bore to 2 x 5,000 gallon tanks at the yards and 2 water troughs.

Ranging between approx. 36m & 93m above sea level, the majority of the block is cleared or selectively cleared and pastures include Signal grass, Gatton panic, Wynn Cassia, Seteria, Paspalum & Rhodes Grass. The creek flats have highly fertile alluvial soil and you get nice views of surrounding mountains from many areas of the property.

The lovely creek is fenced to keep cattle out and in our wet season would be great for picnics and kids to play.

If you enjoy fishing, boating and beautiful beaches, Agnes Water is a 15 minute drive and Baffle Creek is approx. 30 mins. Both are well known for good fishing, crabbing and prawning.

Mail is delivered 5 days a week and the school bus picks up children nearby. Rubbish Bin collection is available and rates are approx. $1,844 per year.

Approx. distances: Agnes Water 13km, Baffle Creek 40km, Bundaberg 109km, Gladstone 109km
