Boasting the largest flat parcel of deep rich red volcanic soils on the tightly held Fairy Hill plateau. 'Red Hill' commands an enviable position. Perched high on the frost free plateau and spanning a sizeable 151 acres of premium land. This property provides the astute purchaser an array of endless possibilities.

Located minutes from Casino and under an hour's drive to the beaches of Byron Bay, it offers magnificent 360 degree panoramic views of the landscape including the spectacular Border Rangers. This highly productive parcel of land presents the rare opportunity to obtain a very versatile holding.

This property has the potential of future subdivision, (STCA) as the property neighbours land adjoining the existing Fairy Hill housing estate. With changes to land zoning in nearby land by council (South Fairy Hill residential area for hundreds of residential lots with town water and sewage under 2 km away) the ongoing demand for flood-safe lands in Casino and surrounds is expected to attract increasing demand for residential and commercial development. A dwelling entitlement is also attached to the property, ideal for those looking to build their dream home with commanding views and potential for dual occupancy.

The current owner has developed the property by adding to the already laser and contour levelled paddocks by investing all the capital and infrastructure to operate the farm. A massive undertaking which must be acknowledged considering the scarcity of prime rural holdings combined with quality land, soils and most importantly water security.

Water is a feature of the property. This area is renowned for a very secure water supply from the underground water table. The water has been tested and is extremely pure, analysis available. Every inch of this fully arable fertile land can be irrigated from the 5 irrigation bores, 5 inch underground mains with risers and 88 ML irrigation license. The associated water license conditions enable the use of water at any rate and time also with the ability to carry over water from the previous water year. This gives water security all year round.

A suitable location is available to add a spring fed irrigation dam if required, subject to relevant harvestable rights limits. There are two domestic stock bores with windmills equipped to pump water to troughs. Three 5000 gallon water tanks ensure the availability of water for domestic use. In addition the average annual rainfall around 45 - 47" / 1200mm. Permanent water security makes this investment drought proof and enhances production opportunities. 

This plateau country is a real salad bowl. Macadamias, Blueberries, Avocados, Olives, Garlic, Sweet Potatoes, Citrus, Mangoes, Bananas, Passionfruit, Dragon fruit and all varieties of stone fruit have or are being produced in this location. The land has a strong agricultural history having previously grown peanuts, tea and many crops including soybean, corn, oats and hay. The depth of these soils would enable many horticultural pursuits as neighbouring properties are growing Blueberries commercially, Mangoes and Avocados. Conversely if you want to run breeders, fatten steers or grow fodder, this property represents a chance to add a proven cropping paddock to your portfolio. 

Encompassing one freehold title with gentle sloping to flat red volcanic soils covered in improved pastures of lush Kikuyu, Paspalum, Setaria, Rhodes, Legumes and seasonal clovers.

This property is currently run as a successful mixed agricultural operation, growing quality hay and producing top quality vealers from the Angus beef cattle. The property has consistently run up to 70 breeders in the past with cropping the paddocks and use of rotational grazing management. The current owner yielded 987 round bales of purpose planted rhodes grass in a single cut 11 weeks after planting. Fronting the Summerland Way the property is close to markets and also has the convenience of a school bus, mail delivery and waste removal services. All husbandry needs are covered with a set of steel cattle yards at the entrance to the property, including a full veterinary crush. 

Improvements include three-phase electric power supply, a massive open front hay and machinery shed 4.2m high x 20m wide x 42m long comprising 7 x 6m bays with galvanised steel truss frames. This is complimented by an enclosed colorbond workshop 3.6m high x 15m wide x 18m long with industrial roller doors. It has a 5 inch concrete floor and comes with an approved office space. This consists of 3 x 6m bays with full galvanised steel frames. The fully insulated office space spanning the rear 3 metres of the shed has 3 x 3.6m rooms. Each room has a window, ceiling fan and vinyl plank flooring. A stylish bathroom including toilet and shower facilities and a large separate kitchenette area. Plenty of additional storage space is available in the mezzanine area above these rooms. Waste water and sewerage run out to an onsite septic system - all council approved. 

'Red Hill' presents an outstanding opportunity to secure a quality holding in a highly sought after location in the Northern Rivers. Soils, water, views and lifestyle. Rarely do properties such as this come to the market.
