Full Description: Neat three bedroom brick and tile home on five sloping acres, well positioned on the high side of the road.
Features large living room with wood stove, new hot water system, large covered entertainment area with build-in BBQ, air conditioning in the master bedroom, two good- sized bedrooms and a laundry with huge build ins, one smaller bedroom or office, a build in kitchen, one powered 4 bay shed and a pump shed, a partially finished tennis court, a huge 20,000 l watertank, three other watertanks and a bore. A reverse cycle osmosis system is there to produce either excellent drinking water or irrigation water.
Bitumen road frontage and school bus are a plus.
This property is located in the tiny, picturesque township of Upper Lockyer, only 20 minutes to Toowoomba, 10 minutes to Withcott and one hour to Brisbane. Withcott has a new medical centre and many shopping opportuities.
The property provides a possible income opportunity from two hydroponic greenhouses (1900 sqm) located at the back of the house. At present, gourmet tomatoes are produced in one greenhouse and sold at the local farmers market, but other veggies could be grown as well. This could be used to supplement an existing income and supply the family.
An income of about 2000 dollars/ month (net) can be generated easily (and is at present) from the big greenhouse alone. A person handling both greenhouses expertly and full-time could generate a lot more. (In fact, when we bought it it was advertised with a yearly turnover of 300 000!!)
The greenhouses need some fixing up, the smaller greenhouse is still unfinished, but the irrigation pumps, tomato sorting machine, cold storage and all other equipment is there and working and included in the price. Tax benefits apply because the business is classified as primary production.
The owners are willing to assist with the handover.
This property is well worth it's price, especially for someone interested in farming.
A tractor with a set of new tyres and/or a forklift will be sold seperately, if desired (handy for slashing the property and work on the greenhouse).
The property is fenced on three sides, just one more fence is needed and horses or other animals could be kept. An older small two-bay horsestable and a dam is there but both need fixing.
Peaceful and quiet, in a friendly, crime free neighborhood with abundant wildlife to watch, this property would be ideally suited for semi-retired couple or small family.
