ESCAPE THE RAT RACE and INSTANT INCOME

If you've ever longed to leave behind the hustle of the city and embrace a slower, more rewarding way of life, this is your chance. Nestled near the famous Gascoyne River in Western Australia, this 7.5-hectare plantation offers the perfect balance of lifestyle, income, and natural beauty. Here, you can enjoy wide open spaces, fertile land, and the freedom to create a future that works for you - whether that's farming, small scale crops, or simply soaking in the peace of a tropical retreat.
Tucked away in a peaceful setting, the main home reveals itself quietly, set back and privately surrounded by mature mango trees. It's a welcoming retreat, where tropical gardens and open skies create a sense of calm the moment you arrive.
The property is powered by an approx. 20kW solar system, keeping living costs low while supporting a sustainable future. Two comfortable homes, each with three bedrooms and one bathroom, provide flexibility for family living or dual occupancy. The second home, with some simple modern upgrades, could be transformed into a fantastic bed and breakfast, guest house, or long term rental, creating a valuable supplementary income stream.
For those who need space, this property delivers in abundance. Multiple large sheds stand ready to house machinery, caravans, or boats, while a 3 bedroom donga offers extra accommodation, staff housing, or versatile storage options. The landscaped gardens, designed with a tropical flair, add to the sense of privacy and relaxation.
A major advantage of this plantation is that it comes fully equipped with the machinery and equipment required to operate as a functioning banana farm from day one. Whether you're stepping straight into farming or planning a staged transition into new crops, everything you need is already in place.
Water security is a standout feature, with a 50,000 kilolitre GWC allocation plus an additional 54,000 kilolitres, providing an ample and reliable supply for crop irrigation. This ensures the plantation is well equipped to sustain bananas, mangoes, or other diverse cropping ventures year round.
The property is also fully fenced with excellent access, giving peace of mind and making movement of vehicles and equipment simple and efficient.
Adding to its appeal, the plantation is just a short drive to town and the beach, and sits at the gateway to one of Western Australia's most popular coastlines, including the Blow Holes, Gnaraloo, and Coral Bay - destinations renowned for their natural beauty and adventure.
Lifestyle & Income Opportunities
This property offers the rare chance to choose your own path:
• Run it as a fully operational farm, with water security, sheds, machinery, and cropping potential already in place.
• Lease portions of the land for supplementary income while enjoying the lifestyle benefits without the full workload.
• Modernise the second home into a B&B, guest house, or rental for additional revenue.
Importantly, the plantation currently generates a steady income from its existing banana crop. As a member of the Sweeter Banana Cooperative, the farm benefits from established markets and reliable returns. This allows you to walk in and start earning immediately, or utilise the existing crop while preparing and phasing in new ventures.
Beyond bananas, the property includes approximately 50 mature mango trees and two 20 metre rows of dragon fruit, and approx. 20 paw paw trees, offering additional income streams or diversification options. There are also a few established fruit trees on the property, including some citrus, a pomegranate, bush cherry, finger lime, olives, figs, a plum, and a cumquat, which add a nice touch for personal use or small-scale hobby growing. (Whether you're seeking a hands on farming venture, a semi retired lifestyle with passive income, or a mix of both, this property is designed to work for you.
This plantation offers a flexible lifestyle for those seeking a peaceful escape or a productive venture. Whether you're looking to farm, lease, or live surrounded by nature, this property is ready to deliver.
