Principal at Raine and Horne Townsville, Steve Leaumont, who sold the property said it attracted plenty of interest at auction.

“We had a fantastic response and the vendor was very pleased with the selling price.

“The property passed in at auction and the sale was negotiated afterwards.”

Leaumont says the property has an invaluable opportunity running through it.

“When the sellers bought it, they purchased it as an investment because the PH level is really high in the natural spring water so there is a lot of opportunity to do things with it,” he says.
