The Richardson Road site last sold in 1987 for $1.52 million.
In 2020, the land was valued at $1.3 million. The facility sits on 1.6ha.
Knight Frank Rockhampton’s Neale Crow, representing the sale, said it was a significant offering given the size and the location.
“It’s a big facility on 4.79 hectares in the middle of Rockhampton, up to 5000sqm of space, there’s a fair bit of warehousing opportunity on a low impact zoning,” he said.
Mr Crow said the site had been sitting vacant since the closure while the liquidators had been going through the appropriate processes.
In the few days the facility has been on the market, Mr Crow said he had already received a handful of enquiries.

Have you got a building that has a bit of an eerie feel to it or maybe a home with some rich history?
Rockhampton-based Hauntabull Ghost Tours is looking for a new venue to carry out its tours after its last location was vandalised.
“We are looking for somewhere, it could just be a basic pub, could just be a business, anywhere really, they might have something going on where the fans are turning on and they didn’t turn it on, just little things,” business owner Michelle Cromar said.
Before they do a tour, Michelle and friend Nick Jensen do an investigation to check if the location is haunted.

Rockhampton agriculture and construction machinery dealership Farm and Garden Products is celebrating a remarkable milestone in the store’s history this year, celebrating 40 years in business.
The business started out as a small family-owned store on Alma St in South Rockhampton in 1981, stocking Homelite power equipment.
Since then, it has grown into one of the largest and most renowned garden, construction and agriculture dealers in the Central Queensland region.
Dealer principal Tony Patterson said the business’ longstanding reputation for quality products and exceptional service was the secret to its success.
“The original owners Garry and Rita Keleher prided themselves on making sure that all of the product displays were presented to the highest standard and that customers were given the best possible service”, he said.
