A well-built set of permanent dog kennels with attached day yards is situated beside the shed. Another feed storage shed is located on the far side of the property it is 6 metres by 12 metres and fully cemented.

Water for the property it supplied from a bore equipped with Grundphos solar and set up for a backup generator. The bore has a capacity of 1400 gallons an hour. The bore pumps to a 5000-gallon tank at the bore site and a 5000-gallon tank at the house. There are 4 stock troughs fed by these tanks and the sprinkler system for the house complex.

A lane way system feeds through the middle of the property connecting all paddocks to the yards. The fencing on the property is good and serviceable with most being 4 barbs steel posts and steel end assemblies.

A small but practical set of yards is located not far from the house and sheds consisting mostly of panels and with a vet crush under a roof. The yards have a capacity of approximately 30 head.

Predominantly the property consists of heavy black soil dotted with large blue gum trees. There has been improved pasture and legumes used across the property and one paddock has been ploughed and seeded with Silk, Ryegrass, Butterfly Pea and Purple pigeon in the past.

A standout feature is the two large dams that hold water back and act as pondage for Para Grass pasture in the bottom corner of the property. These also provide permanent water and have been stocked with Barramundi.

Lifestyle blocks of this size and with this calibre of improvements rarely become available. 15 minutes from Rockhampton, reliable water, magnificent home, excellent property infrastructure, combined with quality soils all make this property the complete package available.
