Oakabella - Looking forward - Looking back
Situated at beautiful Bowes in the Shire of Northampton, "Oakabella" (Circa 1850) is a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of WA's early agricultural history, while staking a claim in one of the most tightly held districts in the Mid West.
"Oakabella" is ideally located between Geraldton and Northampton, being just 9 kms north of the Oakajee Industrial Estate (and its proposed Deepwater Port). With the recent announcement of the region being a Green Hydrogen hub, the property is strategically positioned.
The property is 438.85ha (1084 acres) in size and has approx. 242HA (600 acres) of highly productive strong and medium loams, which are well suited to cereal, legume and oilseed production, as well as livestock enterprises. The balance of the land is made up of rolling hills and creek lines, with extensive areas of remnant native vegetation. rock formations and winter waterfalls are natural features. Looking back in time, the historic precinct has a homestead in a walled garden, separate kitchen and cooks quarters, shearing shed, stables, barn, blacksmith's shop and forge. The buildings are listed on the Heritage Council of WA's Register of Significant Buildings. Extensive historical machinery and artefacts are in and around the buildings, with the vendor willing to sell these on a walk in, walk out basis. Some buildings were damaged by Cyclone Seroja. The property will be sold in "as is" condition.
The historic buildings, modern tearooms and adjacent camping area provide tourism income potential. Farming infrastructure includes a 3 bay machinery shed, large lockup shed (including a cool room and butchering facility), 4 stand shearing shed and yards. Water sourced from the creek line near the homestead and pumped by windmill. Shire rates are $5,777.
Whatever your inclination, be it investment in a location with this potential, agriculture, history or lifestyle, "Oakabella" has what you are looking for.
"Oakabella" is For Sale by Offer to Purchase. Last offers will be accepted at 4pm on 21st January 2022 (unless sold prior).
To arrange an inspection of this iconic property, contact Courtney Keeffe on 0429 625 007.
