70 acres of prime agricultural land with 600 meters of Laura river flowing through the property in a series of gentle rapids & deep-water holes. Perfect for Barramundi & upstream from the famous Lakefield National Park & its world class fishing. Good cattle country fully fenced with top quality bard wire & steel. Mostly flat ground with firebreaks & good access tracks. Lightly timbered with native hardwoods. A Government grant is on the drawing board to construct a massive 20 megalitre dam on the property creating a huge water supply & oasis for wildlife. Excellent homesites overlook the river. The property is a great lifestyle opportunity with income options.
Lakeland is known for its fertile soils & is home to a thriving farm community. With the proposed Lakeland irrigation scheme adjacent to the property the area is ready to boom. There is lots of work nearby in agricultural, roads & infrastructure industries with new large scale renewable energy projects under development. Just north of the property, the wilds of Cape York beckon all the way to the tip of Australia. Lakeland has a good country pub, a roadhouse, café & grocery store & Primary school. Cooktown & the coast is 50 min & the regional hub of Mareeba 2 hours on good roads.
A rare opportunity & priced to sell.
