Shed & Cold room: Off the Northern side of the house is a large shed. It is used as a workshop, for storage and for keeping cars, boats, trailers etc out of the weather. Also inside the shed is a large cold room which is currently not connected. The shed has electricity and water connected.
Stables: Burdekin View has a nice horse stable / tack shed and day yard just a short walk from the house. Water & Water Allocation: Burdekin View has 724 metres of amazingly, beautiful river frontage land. The property sources its water directly from the river using an electric Onga pump.
The property also has a water allocation of 26.4 Mega Litres (ML) per water year. This allows the property owner to legally take this amount of water per year providing they follow the governing legislation surrounding this allocation. The main requirement, if the purchaser wanted to irrigate the land would be to install a certified water meter on the intake line before the pump. This water provides buyers with the opportunity to grow crops, fodder for livestock, hay etc it they desire or at the very least allows the owners to have a big, beautiful garden. (This water allocation is subject to meeting and following certain legislated rules governing the metering and harvesting of the water and buyers should do their own due diligence as to what is required).
The current owners have grown table grapes in the past. The grape trestles are still in place and in reasonable condition if someone has the inclination to grow them again.
Not far from the river is a large dam surrounded by beautiful gum trees. This dam is also used for stock water and a recreational dam for enjoyment.
