Description: Margram Gayndah offers a genuine market-timing advantage — early-ripening citrus that reaches buyers ahead of the typical season, commanding stronger early pricing. Positioned at the junction of the Burnett River and Wetheron Creek, the orchard sits on highly desirable alluvial loam.
The property comprises 69.77ha* in one freehold title, with 31ha* under citrus (approximately 15,300* trees). Varieties are Royal Honey Murcotts, Honey Murcotts and Imperials, catering to both domestic and export markets. Most trees are fully mature, with 2020 Royal Honey Murcott plantings still moving toward full production — an opportunity for buyers to capitalise on this recent investment. The balance of the property is lightly timbered watercourse country, suited to grazing as an additional income source.
Water security comes from multiple sources: a 24ML Burnett River allocation with a 25kW pump offset by solar panels, two large catchment dams fed by overland flow and receiving multiple inflows annually, and a water licence for Wetheron Creek (25ha irrigable, unmetered, no charge). All pumping is solar-offset, keeping running costs low.
Infrastructure includes a 693m²* steel-frame workshop and machinery shed (built 2000) with a 55m²* de-greening room (110-bin capacity), staff amenities, and a demountable building suited to worker accommodation.
The residence is a spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom brick home built in 2005, set high on the Burnett River bank with panoramic views. Features include a large home office, media room, bar and in-ground swimming pool, with a double portico and additional Colorbond shed storage.
Offered at $3,900,000.
Also available: Margram Mundubbera Orchard, located around 60km away ($8,900,000), is home to the export-accredited packing shed that gives this early Gayndah fruit somewhere to be graded and marketed — extending the harvest window and sharing economies of scale across both properties. Buyers are invited to purchase both orchards together.
