Located on the northern end of the Atherton tablelands between the rural townships of Mt Molloy and Julatten, sits the historic acreage property known as “Pera”. Combining rolling fields and ample water this 161.3 Ha* freehold property lends itself to the enviable rural lifestyle dream….simple living with wide open space, permanent water supply, enough room to run cattle and great soil quality with the potential to establish crops.

The homestead itself has a fresh and modern appeal whilst still retaining its country feel. The open plan kitchen and living area create a feeling of space with natural lighting provided by the numerous timber-frame doors and windows which open onto the large wrap-around veranda … the perfect place to start or finish the day with a warm brew or a cool drink overlooking the miles of wide open space. The two generous sized bedrooms have built-in robes and are serviced by a well-appointed bathroom including a bath and timber finishes.
Additional improvements include a lockable three bay Colorbond work/storage shed with power, phone and concrete floor, as well as a 5 KW solar power system. The second shed on the property is a steel and timber frame Clip-lok profile shed with four bays (two with high clearance).

If it's cattle you are interested in, whether it be hobby or for a small commercial interest; the property has twelve paddocks (total estimated carrying capacity of 200 head), three lanes, internal fencing – four strand, steel gates, cattle yards (portable panel construction) with Black River crush, loading ramp plus covered work area over head bale. The grazing pastures are almost all improved with hamil glass, brachiara on the former cane country and with some setaria and para grass. Hymenachne is present along the lower creek and billabong sections.

One of the features of Pera is its soil quality, with clay loams suitable for cropping predominating, ideal for crops such as bananas, sugarcane, mangos or avocados providing diversified income potential for the property. During the last five years soil quality and moisture retention has been greatly enhanced by extensive Yeoman ploughing and multiple applications of microbial inoculums.

Water is plentiful on Pera with frontage to Rifle Creek, which is known as a permanent water supply, as well as a spring-fed dam, billabong, and two lagoons. Additionally, the property is equipped with a 45m bore, with 26,000 litre poly tank, reticulated water, and 4 poly stock watering troughs.
