Lot 6 Sandalwood Road, Brunswick WA 6224

121.4194HA - 299.88Acres

This diverse property is located high on the scarp of the Darling Ranges with stunning valley, coastal and dam views, offering numerous home sites.

Opportunity abounds with some earning potential with approximately 28ha of coppice blue gums which are privately owned and are due for harvest in 2021/22.

There is ample water on the property... 3 soak dams (2 spring fed) and a magnificent 120 mega litre capacity dam with a 68 mega litre surface water licence. 8.85ha of cleared land sits above the dam which is fully fenced for vermin control, with a 100mm underground water pipe running from the base of the 6m x 4m pump shed (Plan available) through the middle of this paddock.

The current owners have installed a 2km 3 phase power line to the rear of the property where a 200KVA transformer is located. The power line also passes the irrigation pump house where an additional 63KVA transformer is installed. The dual pump system consists of 2 x 11kw Grundfos CR32-5 multistage pumps which are controlled by an Orca 11kw dual pump control system (Lead Lag VSD and soft start). The design is for the system to pump water to the top with (48.7m head), from where it is distributed via sub mains pipework back down the hill. Each pump is capable of delivering 30m3/h at this head, giving a total flow rate of 60m3/h (60Klph). The pump control system is pressure based and is designed to maintain the discharge pressure at 9 Bar and will vary the flow rate according to demand. With the current orchard design, the orchard would be watered in two stages.
Irrigation filtration is achieved by an Arkal Spin Klin 5 module auto flush disk filter system. Irrigation control system is a Netafim NMC PROi control unit. A 3 channel Netafim Netajet Venturi Fertigation system is also included.
The pump and equipment needs to be commissioned.

The sellers had plans for a citrus orchard, however further horticulture or viticulture pursuits, such as avocado's or nuts, may appeal to a discerning buyer. The 8ha orchard is split into 10 blocks with the design incorporating windbreak rows between the blocks. The orchard design has a row spacing of 5m with an intended tree spacing of 2.5m, which gives an approximate total of 4300 trees.

Planning approval would be required for the extraction of gravel from 11.4ha at the front of the property with an approximate yield of 114,000m3 (182,400 tonnes). Another 28ha at the back of the property has been mined for gravel and is nearing completion of gravel extraction and rehabilitation. Most of this area has been rock picked and sown with rye grass and clovers as part of the rehabilitation process.

Further diversity of the property includes 32ha of natural bush featuring a mixture of Jarrah, Marri and Blackbutt and local wildflowers and is ideal for the bush walking enthusiast.

Further infrastructure includes a fully lockable 20m x 9m x 4.2m high, general purpose shed. There is a substantial Plant and Machinery list, Dongas, Sea Containers and miscellaneous items that are planned to be incorporated in a clearing sale, however the Sellers are definitely open to offers to purchase on a 'Walk In-Walk Out' basis.

The property is located approximately 10km off South Western Highway, approximately 30km from Treendale, 20km from Harvey and approximately 2hours from Perth.
