Discover an exceptional lifestyle and agricultural opportunity on this well-established, flood-free 20-acre (approx. 8.1-hectare) rural property, offering comfort, space, and a turnkey mango operation.
Situated on the corner of bitumen-sealed Reedbeds Road and Leonino Road with full roadside fencing, this property has remained completely flood-free for over 28 years. It features reliable, all-weather access to the Stuart Highway via Leonino and Chibnall roads, along with a seasonal wet season creek running through the northeast corner.
The Main Residence
Constructed around 1986, the two-storey, 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers modest comfort, charm, and full air-conditioning suited to the Top End climate, complete with NBN and Foxtel connections.
Bedrooms: 4 bedrooms (2 located upstairs and 2 downstairs), including a spacious master bedroom.
Bathrooms: 2 full indoor bathrooms—featuring a spa/jetted bathtub and an original stone-tiled bathtub—plus an additional shower and toilet conveniently located in the external laundry.
Living Spaces: Functional kitchen and comfortable living areas.
Exterior & Maintenance: A secure, fully fenced, and irrigated house yard featuring established lawns, shade trees, and a shade sail for covered parking.
The Property & Infrastructure
Land Area: Approx. 20 acres of flat, usable rural land. The flat topography maximizes machinery efficiency for pruning, spraying, and harvesting while minimizing soil erosion.
Mango Orchard: Approx. 6 hectares featuring 750 mature Kensington Pride (KP) mango trees. As one of the earliest varieties to harvest in the Northern Territory season (typically September), these trees provide a valuable early-to-market advantage.
Workers’ Accommodation: Purpose-built facilities comprising a 24m x 12m structure housing 2x 3 Room demountables,6m x 12m kitchen, living area, and laundry under a large protective shelter, each equipped with a private shower and toilet, a double/single bunk bed, a fridge/freezer, and a television.
Machinery & Storage: An 8m x 20m shed tailored for machinery storage and farm operations, with an 8m x 8m enclosed section featuring 2 electric roller doors and a 12m x 8m open-sided roofed bay. Two additional 3m garden sheds provide dedicated fuel and chemical storage.
Water & Irrigation: A comprehensive under-tree irrigation system throughout the orchard, pop-up sprinklers in the house yard, and a dual water supply featuring a reliable groundwater bore and rainwater collection tanks. The bore is rated at 3.7 litres per second (with an electric motor replaced a couple of years ago, a new wet end installed recently, and the bore airlifted during maintenance).
Additional infrastructure includes 30,000-litre water tanks located at both the main residence and the workers’ accommodation.
Power: Equipped with 3-phase power, a 6-kilowatt solar system mounted on the shed roof, and a generator changeover switch.
Logistics & Packing: Convenient access to a commercial packing facility located approximately 15 minutes’ drive away, allowing for direct delivery of harvested fruit for processing and dispatch without the need for on-site cold storage or packaging equipment.
