AN irrigated grape and citrus farm in Queensland’s St George is on the market.
CBRE’s Thomas Warriner and Chris Holgar have been appointed to market Bounty Farms – a 230 hectare table grape and citrus property situated along the banks of the Balonne River in St George, on behalf of Nick and Lissette Bligh.
Bounty Farms currently operates as a mixed horticultural enterprise with table grapes and citrus covering approximately 43 hectares. The table grape varieties (27 hectares) consist of Menindee Seedless, Red Globe, Midnight Beauty with the balance (16 hectares) currently being planted to 1,000 Tahitian Lime and 5,000 Afourer Mandarin trees. The property also includes a packing shed, two cool rooms, ample shedding and onsite staff accommodation for up to 25 people.
Warriner said the property’s position in the productive farming region within the Balonne Shire would be a key selling factor.
“The surrounding area is well-known for horticulture and irrigated and dryland farming, with crops including table grapes, citrus, cotton, wheat and a variety of cash crops,” Warriner said.
Holgar said a key component of the offering is more than 75 hectares of land with underground mainlines ready for development. The area is currently utilised for cash crops, and there is ample water allocated to support additional permanent plantings.
Expressions of interest close Wednesday 21 June.
