RIVERLODGE is a highly regarded, large scale horticultural property, ideally suited to an expanding family enterprise or an established agribusiness seeking portfolio diversification.
It presents an opportunity to secure a proven agricultural asset in one of Australia's most well recognised food producing regions.
Riverlodge is a substantial horticultural property in the heart of the Carnarvon horticulture district, 990 kilometres from Perth and 475km from Geraldton.
The three key elements of a successful and sustainable horticultural industry are present and perfectly balanced in this region - climate, soil and abundant water.
The property is conveniently 3km from the North West Coastal Highway and close to freight services and town amenities.
Secure and substantial water allocations are sourced from both Basin A and the Gascoyne Water Co-operative.
Water is reticulated throughout the length of the property using three 225 millimetre mainlines, with 50 individual valves delivering water to plots of 0.75 hectares each.
The system is operated by a Netafim controller.
This is complemented by a five-tank fertigation system, allowing prescribed nutrient applications for each plot.
Production scale and flexibility are features of the property.
Currently 2ha are utilised for bananas, with the 35ha balance of arable land able to sustain a wide variety of vegetables, which have included beans, beetroot, onions, pumpkin and zucchini.
The infrastructure is well presented and maintained, including a 25 metre x 10m workshop and packing shed (incorporating two cool rooms); two 24m x 12m adjoining dome shelters and 12m x 8m general purpose shed.
Accommodation comprises a fully renovated four-bedroom, one-bathroom homestead with a 10m below ground pool and established, reticulated gardens, a five-bedroom seasonal workers' cottage and a two-bedroom seasonal workers' donga.
A full list of plant and equipment is available on request.
As a fully developed blank canvas, Riverlodge allows the future owner to generate almost immediate cashflow, while also establishing an annual crop enterprise to diversify income streams.
Freight services operate daily, utilising North West Coastal Highway to connect directly with customers.
