Located in a private valley this large unique property with agri-business is situated on the edge of the Tablelands escarpment, next door to the famous Mungalli Creek organic dairy.
Bordering world heritage listed wet tropics listed National Park, the location of this property provides a secluded comfortable lifestyle as well as an existing agri-business with further growth potential.

The property is on predominately basalt loam soils with significant tracts of mature rainforest as well as approx. 15 acres of grazing pasture and 6 acres of commercial Australian native fruit orchards. The orchards are part of the agri business which trades raw and value added high demand native Australian fruits such as the Davidsons plum and Lemon aspen, as well as numerous other edible native species. Fruit plantings commenced in 2001 and production has increased dramatically with maturation. Steadily increasing demand due to the high nutritional and health properties of the fruits as well as from food industry interest in Australian native flavours, means that revenue will continue to grow. An additional 500 superior Davidsons plum trees were planted in 2014, and these will enable a doubling of production capacity within the next 2-3 years.
The orchard, its associated value-added business and Licenced Cellar Door are included within the property price.
