THE Dunlop family’s noted Brisbane Valley property Sunnyside has sold at a Ray White Rural auction for $10 million.
Located on the south eastern side of Esk, with a frontage to the Brisbane Valley Highway, the 2340 hectare (5782 acre) property comprises of 21 adjoining surveyed lots.
The country is predominantly cleared and sown to native and improved pasture, with the balance of the country open grazing to lightly timbered forest grazing.
There is about 800ha of cultivation traditionally used to grow water melons and pumpkins which would be ideal for further development growing fodder crops or improved pasture. This could more than double the carrying capacity of Sunnyside.
Improvements include a substantial colonial style dwelling, shedding and stock handling facilities. The property is well watered by 27 earth dams, bore, well, seasonal creeks and gullies, plus town domestic water and access to mains water for stock water.
The property has fantastic rural views and views over Wivenhoe Dam, from multiple locations on the property.
The marketing of Sunnyside was handled by Jez McNamara and James Croft from Ray White Rural.
