209 Malone Road, Mareeba, QLD, 4880, Australia

Situated on 5.32 hectares (approx. 13 acres) on the Cairns side of town, here is a prime opportunity for entry into the tree cropping industry with the option to expand the tree cropping, establish your own horse spelling enterprise or perhaps just enjoy lifestyle living with a rural aspect.

Lychees are the current crop grown here, with produce sold on the domestic and local markets providing a viable income for the current owners. The lychee orchard has approximately 600 trees and there are 6 varieties of fruit. With around 4 acres of arable land not being farmed at present, there is scope to diversify into an additional tree crop like limes, passion fruit, dragon fruit or other small crops.

Underground main lines and an under tree sprinkler system service the orchard’s irrigation requirements, supported by a 16ML water licence, and a 23Kw electric pump and fertigation unit.

All the plant and equipment is on hand to net, harvest, pack and cool the lychees before dispatch to market. Likewise, there is an inventory list to service the day to day farm operations.

A modern and well maintained 3 bedroom + office, 1 bathroom residence with under cover timber deck entertainment area, fernery and in-ground swimming pool complete the package.
