Fish-O-Rama - $620000

Description

Fish-O-Rama Barramundi Fishery and Tourism Enterprise is located near Mission Beach, the closest seaside settlement to the Great Barrier Reef. A fantastic lifestyle with the potential to grow and expand the tourism side of the business. The property includes a leading aquaculture farm, which is fully licensed, just 15 minutes from Mission Beach and a 90 minute drive south of Cairns. Set on 25 acres (10.36 ha), this property features a large 3 bedroom home, 3 acres of rainforest, 22m x 9m machinery shed, 9 stocked aquaculture ponds and all associated equipment required for the farm and tourism enterprise including an indoor fingerling nursery, processing room, shop/office, fishing rods and reels, gazebo and BBQ area and souvenir stock. A further 3 acres of cleared grassland is currently not being utilised. Having established itself as one of the leading suppliers of 'free range' barramundi to the Sydney markets, this farm has an excellent reputation as the fish resemble barramundi that are caught in the wild. Purchased as fingerlings, the barramundi are raised in 6 tanks inside the nursery equipped with automatic feeders and fish graders. Current production levels of approximately 20 ton p/a are able to be further expanded with minimal investment. Increased feeding and oxygenation will ultimately increase productions levels up to a potential 40 ton p/a. With a well established brand and reputation for quality with long standing relationships with distributors, this is a great opportunity as the current owner will impart all his knowledge. All licenses are in place to October 2011 and it is possible to renew them for a further 15 years. This is an ideal opportunity to purchase highly sought after Mission Beach acreage with ongoing income and room to expand the current operation. $620,000
