With both Bruce Highway and Midge Point Road frontage over 7 titles this working cattle property also has potential for sugar cane production or real estate development.
After three generations of family ownership, and with retirement beckoning, "Lingerlonger" is on the market for the first time in over 70 years.

Rob Murolo Elders Mackay sold Lingerlonger today under hammer for $2.85m to Garry Poole, neighbour.

The farmhouse of this 5,950 acre property is conveniently located just 1.5km from Bloomsbury State Primary School and other conveniences and 40 minutes from Proserpine State High School with the school bus for both going right past the front gate. The larger centres of Mackay, Proserpine and Airlie Beach are all within an hour's drive.

"Lingerlonger" has a proven history of producing high quality Brahman cattle with long established local markets.

The country runs from deep black soil flats previously timbered with blue gum trees to lighter soil and onto iron bark ridges. The owners have spent many years improving the property by clearing land and establishing improved pastures (which include large areas of pangola grass, stylo seca and stylo verano - native grasses such as black spear grass also have a good stand on this property) and fencing lane ways making this a business able to be run by a husband and wife team.

The property has reliable year round water from a combination of natural springs and strategically positioned dams and bores. All bores are equipped with electric pumps, large storage tanks and troughs. Natural springs flow year round.

The homestead complex includes

• Older style 3 bedroom solid tongue and groove house with 20,000 L rainwater tank and bore water supply
• Large, well designed 4-rail solid iron bark timber yards with head bail/vet crush, scales, calf cradle, plunge dip, draining yard and well established shade trees
• Undercover feeders
• 2 cooler paddocks
• 3 large machinery sheds, 2 smaller sheds
• Well established fruit trees and garden.

The carrying capacity of the property is approximately 1,000 head. The current herd of 600* Brahman cattle will be included in the sale along with a range of additional farm equipment and machinery.

The annual council rates for the property are more than covered by an ongoing and secured yearly rental income from a long term (2036) lease of a phone tower site.
