“SANDOLA” IN THE FAMILY FOR 105 YEARS

This 129.86 hectare (320.88 acre) property in the Binjour district is a combination of premium cleared scrub country, naturally timbered scrub country and scrub country planted to hardwood timber. Binjour district is known for its volcanic rich, red scrub soil which was utilized for planting peanuts in past years. Conveniently located between Mundubbera and Gayndah and only 168 kilometers from Bundaberg.

The beautiful Sandola is:

– One-third cleared scrub country consisting of Binjour red volcanic soil and is white on the vegetation map
– One-third is also premium red volcanic scrub soil and white on the vegetation map. This third has been planted to hardwood plantation trees that are 10-15 years old, ensuring a future income and adding income diversity to the property. There is the option to clear the trees to increase the cattle carrying capacity.
– One-third is Category B timbered land which is also red soil

The property has previously grown peanuts which is an indication of the fertile rich soil.
