'Listowel' 94 Sam Road, Ascot, Qld 4359

'Listowel' represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a proven irrigated farming enterprise in one of the 'Inner Darling Downs' most tightly held agricultural districts. Spanning 218.45* hectares (540* acres) across three freehold titles, the property offers secure water, fertile cultivation country and quality infrastructure that underpin its long history of productive horticultural and mixed farming operations.  

Productive Farming Country:

'Listowel' features an exceptional balance of deep volcanic self-mulching creek flats, gently undulating cultivation country and grazing paddocks. With Kings Creek flowing along its southern boundary and Back Creek traversing the property, the land offers highly fertile alluvial soils ideally suited to both hard and soft vegetable production.

Water security is a defining feature of the enterprise, with a 215*ML Main Range Volcanic Water Allocation. Water is efficiently distributed through established 6-inch and 8-inch underground mains servicing 40* hydrants, complemented by a 5ML ring tank for operational flexibility and irrigation management. 

There are 4 groundwater bores, 3 of which are active for irrigation and domestic use. The 2 primary interconnected bores feed the ring tank. From here, the pumping station distributes the stored water through a network of 4-inch & 6-inch underground main lines and to the center pivot.    

85* acres has been laser-levelled to maximize irrigation efficiency on the property's premium country.  

The property has a long and successful history of commercial production, including hard & soft vegatables, lucerne, fodder and grain production. 

The cultivation country is currently fallowed and well prepared for the incoming season.

Mixed Farming Opportunity:  

Beyond its proven horticultural capability, 'Listowel' provides flexibility for mixed farming enterprises. The dryland farming and grazing country is ideally suited to cattle backgrounding or integration into an existing breeding or trading operation.
