Creek soil up for grabs

RECOGNISED by many as one of the better properties on the inner Darling Downs, Prestbury is noted for its versatility containing some of the best grain growing and fattening country in the fertile Felton Valley.

Only 40 kilometres south -west of Toowoomba, it comprises 1041.6 hectares (2574 acres) in 17 freehold lots. At present there is about 375 hectares (926 acres) of soft alluvial Hodgson Creek flats and slopes, with a further 180 hectares (444 acres) of improved pasture country, while the balance is soft apple tree flats and hollows, rising to shaded sweet coolabah grazing country.

Prestbury is well developed, with a five-bedroom split-level spacious home set in a private garden setting, plus three well-maintained additional residences. Other improvements include a craftsman-built two-storey stable complex and day yard, in good condition, plus large machinery/workshop and several haysheds.

Prestbury is well watered with permanent water in Hodgson Creek plus six equipped stock and domestic bores, reticulating to tanks and troughs and residences.

The property is fenced into 27 paddocks and the well constructed steel cattle yards have undercover crush, central draft, scales and branding cradle.

The owner has recently planted wheat and chickpea crop and together with some of the oats crop will be included with the property.

The current owners, Rob and Sally McCreath, are relocating to the Deloraine region of northern Tasmania.
