THE strength of the Central Queensland property market will be on show with the auction of the 4185 hectare (10,342 acre) Baralaba property Avoca on September 29.
Located 33km north west of Moura on the Bears Lagoon Road, the freehold property has 1600ha of black soil brigalow country and large swamps. The balance of Avoca is described as strong forest type country running from box and coolibah flats to lighter areas of ironbark on the eastern extremity. About 800ha has been cultivated.
Marketing agent Gary Bishop, Hourn and Bishop, said some areas of the scrub country supported good stands of buffel grass and the swamps are heavy carrying for most of the year.
“The forest country has areas of Tordoned and rung out country and there is a fair spread of seca and wyncassia through the natural grasses,” Mr Bishop said.
“Quite a lot of work has been done either replacing or repairing fences and they are now in good stock proof condition. There are some lane ways to assist mustering.”
Avoca has a workable set of cattle yards, with a loading ramp, cattle handling and calf branding facilities.
There are three equipped and one unequipped bores. Water is also sourced from the Mimosa and Conciliation creeks and swamps provide semi-permanent water in some paddocks.
Other improvements include a modest four bedroom homestead, three bedroom donga, and sheds.
“The vendor has done a good job doing up the cultivation country and some good crops have been grown in recent years,” Mr Bishop said. “There are about 600 breeders that will be available to the successful purchaser at valuation.”
Avoca will be auctioned by Hourn and Bishop in Moura on September 29.
