The Property & Infrastructure
Land Area: Approx. 20 acres of flat, usable rural land. The flat topography maximizes machinery efficiency for pruning, spraying, and harvesting while minimizing soil erosion.
Mango Orchard: Approx. 6 hectares featuring 750 mature Kensington Pride (KP) mango trees. As one of the earliest varieties to harvest in the Northern Territory season (typically September), these trees provide a valuable early-to-market advantage.

Water & Irrigation: A comprehensive under-tree irrigation system throughout the orchard, pop-up sprinklers in the house yard, and a dual water supply featuring a reliable groundwater bore and rainwater collection tanks. The bore is rated at 3.7 litres per second (with an electric motor replaced a couple of years ago, a new wet end installed recently, and the bore airlifted during maintenance).
Additional infrastructure includes 30,000-litre water tanks located at both the main residence and the workers' accommodation.
Power: Equipped with 3-phase power, a 6-kilowatt solar system mounted on the shed roof, and a generator changeover switch.
