PURCHASE “WINDERA STATION”
Freehold Irrigation Property with 2 Water Licenses
“Windera Station” is 2026 hectares, in 4 freehold titles (with extensive road frontages) and has been owned and operated by the Kratzmann family since 1986.
Windera Station is a successful Irrigation and grazing property. It is 20 minutes to Murgon, 75 minutes to Gympie and 2 hours to the Sunshine Coast airport. School buses pass the property servicing both Primary and High Schools.
Water – It is the huge 80 hectare walled dam that sets this property apart from all others in this region. Filled from a large catchment area, the licensed weir diverts water into the lake which then holds 500-600 Megalitres for irrigation. The Windera Creek has always had water in drought conditions, there are 2 spring fed dams in the back titles, and another on the northern boundary creek bed. Average annual rainfall in the Burnett area is 600-800mm and Windera Station has ranged from 600-1150mm in the last 10 years.
Cultivation – The 370 hectares of cultivation land consists of 120 hectares of prime irrigated creek flats, serviced by underground mains and spray set-ups, while the remaining 250 hectares is currently under natural pastures.
Grazing – The extensive grass country runs 550 breeders in all seasons and is set up into 5 larger grazing paddocks with smaller mustering and holding pens centred round the large set of yards. It is mostly blue gum and apple tree flats going back to undulating narrow-leaf ironbark hills with quality timber that can be cut every 10 years.
Buildings – There are 2 large hay sheds, 2 machinery sheds, a workshop, a saddle shed and 2 houses with covered garages. The homestead has 5 bedrooms, 2 decks with wonderful views over the wildlife on the lake, and a championship size tennis court. The ‘workers cottage’ has 4 bedrooms and is a good size house in itself.
Current Infrastructure Opportunity – there is an opportunity to expand on further irrigation and infrastructure investment for increased hay and crop returns.
Milk Producing Opportunity – after consultation with local dairy farmers this property would be highly suited to provide for a minimum of 1,000 cow dairy. The water, irrigated cultivation and infrastructure well suits a change into the dairy industry.
Further Potential – A 499 SCU feedlot has been previously approved for construction (expired).This property also has great potential for development into other primary industries such as aquaculture, viticulture, horticulture and the like, as well as moving into the lucrative tourism business with cabins/camp sites around the large dam. It is well situated in a district that has many wineries and other destinations, such as the Boondoomba and Bjelke-Petersen Dams.
As well as delivering unlimited potential for development, “Windera Station” is a picturesque and serene place to live, and provides a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly desired by many people. Take advantage of this opportunity to own a unique property in the South Burnett.
