Tate River Telegraph Station. 281ha of Cape York land, 3km of river frontage. Live off grid, work from home plus income potential.

Undoubtedly the most spectacular property for lifestyle, business opportunities and the ultimate getaway. Complete privacy on your own almost 700acres, surrounded by 2million acres of prime cattle country means nothing will probably ever change here. Some things in life should always remain the same or become better.
The Tate River will likely flow every year until eternity at varying depths and widths, depending on the rainfall, but always flowing. Pack up the ATV, the Hairy pooch, ya mate, an esky with a few cold drinks – down the hill 450m to the sandy banks littered with amazing trees, prolific birdlife and so much more. (No need for togs either - it is totally private) Dip into the flowing water and watch the sun set. Choose a different spot every day of the year.
Totally off-grid and self-sufficient living awaits. A homestead which is RUSTIC, to say the least. But very functional, original, amazing and totally suited to this property and location. It is all here. Roof over your head, concrete floor in the main room, ‘push out with sticks’ windows – the best for breeze and light. Ceiling fans, gas cooktops, fridge, freezer and room for more beds or a lounge area. Add a massive greenhouse (irrigated) to grow your own veggies. What more could you want.
How about working from home here, YES – Wifi connected, a fast good connection. TV if you need to know what the rest of world is doing or not. Solar generated power - runs everything you need and more. Diesel generator x 2 to pump water to almost 1million litres of water in tanks near the homestead and in the main paddock.
Outside entertaining area is amazing – dirt floor (for now) 7m hardwood benchtop with sink. The ideal spot for drinks with ya mates, family, friends, nice relatives and so many more. Fire pit that roars to life every night and lasts for days when burning Ironwood trees from the property. On the two sides you have the privacy of ‘not much’ but open air beds are a fabulous way to sleep and enjoy the birds that start well before dawn. They then take off and you can sleep till whenever you feel like it. Flocks of Black Cockatoos, galahs and wallabies all come to visit. What more could you want.
The outdoor bathroom is truly unique. A flushing loo (yes, flushing loo) piping hot water (Free from the Lord – Solar) is welcome. Nothing quite like a good scrub… Or fill the open air bathtub for a more relaxing hour or so watching the milky way overhead.
Cooking – best done long and slow in a camp oven. You will never forget the flavours the cast iron pots will create. Gas cookers inside for quicker meals, but the Camp Oven is much preferred here…
Why not add a business or two to this unique land. Tourism – camping, fishing and relaxing on the Tate would be awesome and folks would pay for that privilege. Run cattle, buffalo, camels, donkey or horses (or all of them) in the 5 designated fenced paddocks. Cattle yards here too. Water can be pumped from the Tate and bore to paddocks or the owner happy to add more dams. With over a million litres of water in tanks and pumps to get it there, never ever will you run out of water.
The business opportunities here are amazing to say the least. Ideal for health or spa resort, rehabilitation centre, high end resort or destination wedding adventure location (all with approval of course). Fly in with your helicopter and you’ve got it made. Or drive from Cairns in just 3.5hours. Mareeba for supplies 2.5 hours drive.
For your machinery, utes, trucks or whatever you need to bring – a five bay shed. Plus a horse stable with lean to. Room for any other buildings you wish to construct on about 2 acres of fully fenced land around the house.
