Lets go nutzzz

Nestled within a picturesque landscape, this 4.85-hectare smallholding is a thriving haven of macadamia nut cultivation, boasting approximately 1000 flourishing macadamia trees. Stepping onto the property, one is greeted by the sight of verdant rows of these majestic trees, each one a testament to years of dedicated cultivation.

The history of the orchard is palpable, with 816 of the trees having been lovingly planted back in 2005, their mature presence providing a solid foundation for the farm's productivity. More recent additions include approximately 400 Beaumont trees, strategically planted between 2016 and 2018, indicating a commitment to ongoing growth and expansion.

During the harvest season, which spans from the peak of anticipation to the fruition of hard work, the farm yields an impressive bounty, with the macadamia trees yielding between 6 to 10 tons of nuts on average a season. This consistent output is a testament to the careful management and nurturing environment provided.

Ensuring optimal efficiency, the property comes complete with an inventory list of farm machinery, equipment, and tools, all included in the purchase price. Additionally, the macadamia nuts harvested boast an exceptional crack-out rate, exceeding 40%, indicative of the superior quality maintained throughout the processing stages.

Facilitating this agricultural success is the property's comprehensive irrigation system, supplemented by a dam nestled within the grounds. This ensures reliable water supply to sustain the lush orchards even during dry spells.

Beyond the orchards, the property offers a range of facilities to support both work and leisure. A workshop provides space for maintenance and repairs, while a sorting/drying room ensures efficient processing of the harvested nuts. Accommodation for staff is also provided, with separate facilities for both men and women, along with a dedicated farm office to manage operations.

For residential comfort, the main house stands as a beacon of elegance and functionality. Boasting four bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a walk-in closet and full en-suite bathroom, the home exudes warmth and sophistication. The kitchen, a focal point of culinary creativity, features modern amenities such as a double eye-level oven, island, hob, and a convenient scullery/laundry area. Outside, a stunning swimming pool invites relaxation, while the meticulously landscaped garden offers distance sea views.

Security and convenience are prioritized, with 13 cameras strategically placed around the property and two entrances providing ease of access. Additional features include double garages, one electric and one manual, catering to varied preferences and needs.

In summation, this smallholding of macadamia nuts represents not only a lucrative agricultural investment but also a lifestyle choice, offering a harmonious blend of productivity, comfort, and natural beauty.
