WALKAMIN BANANA FARM ON RICH VOLCANIC SOILS

Located in the heart of the highly productive Walkamin farming district, 1597 Chewko Road presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a commercial-scale banana operation with established plantings, secure water allocation, and irrigation infrastructure required to support ongoing production.
Covering approximately 52.16 hectares (128.8 acres), the property is currently configured as a productive banana farm with approximately 35.6 hectares (88 acres) of established bananas. An additional 10.12 hectares (25 acres) of prepared fallow ground provides scope for future planting rotations and expansion, while a further seven acres remains unimproved.
The property benefits from a valuable 68-megalitre Sunwater channel allocation, providing reliable water security for intensive horticultural production. Existing irrigation infrastructure includes a 55kW electric motor and pump, fertiliser mixing system, sand filtration equipment, and underground mainlines, enabling efficient water and nutrient management across the farm.
Renowned for its fertile red volcanic soils, the Walkamin district continues to be one of the Atherton Tablelands' premier horticultural regions, supporting strong banana production and a range of intensive agricultural enterprises.
Complementing the farming operation are two onsite workers' cottages, providing accommodation for staff, along with substantial machinery and storage facilities. Improvements include an older machinery shed and a modern 27m x 15m machinery shed suitable for equipment storage, workshop use, and operational requirements.
