The property is for sale by motivated vendors for $595,000.
About 16ha (40ac) is sown to Rhodes grass and the country would suit hay or beef production.

There is room to expand the orchard area by 750 trees with ground prepared and water main in place. There is plenty of shed space and a packing area and cool room.

There is a good holding dam and pump set up with fertigator vat.
This property is quiet and very private, and would suit a beginner or semi-retiree.
It is a very tidy operation and easy to run with casual help required at harvest. A total of 17,000kg of fruit was produced in the 2009/10 season.
