$8.2m for fully exclusion fenced property in SW Qld

A fully exclusion fenced breeding and backgrounding operation in Queensland’s far south-west has been listed for $8.2 million after passing-in at auction for $7.8 million.

The 31,745ha Neverfail and Wyuna Aggregation is situated 54km south of Eulo and 120km south-west of Cunnamulla.

In August 2020, a Tamworth-based group of buyers secured the aggregation and invested in new fencing and watering points.

Two years later it was sold to a Bendigo-based family who is now pursuing opportunities closer to home.

Border Real Estate agent Dave Leeds said Neverfail and Wyuna is the best fenced block he had ever marketed and as a result it was easy to manage.

“Both properties received tremendous rainfall over December and January which is setting them up for the coming 12 months,” he said.

According to the vendor, Neverfail and Wyuna can run 8000DSE but the holding is currently carrying around 2000 Dorper ewes and more than 7000 goats.

The country comprises 2025ha of Werai watercourse flood country from the Paroo River with the balance mostly soft red loam country growing an abundance of grasses and edible mulga.

The aggregation is well-watered by four bores and four dams.

Infrastructure includes accommodation, a shed, near new sheep/goat yards and an historic shearing shed.

Picturesque Hunter Valley grazing lists for $11.9m

A highly developed, drought-proof farm running, what is believed to be, the largest Suffolk sheep flock in Australia has listed for $11.9 million after failing to sell following an expressions of interest campaign.

Located on the western side of the Bylong Valley, the 910ha Wingarra is 44km north of Rylstone and 90km east of Mudgee in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales.

The vendors are former Carbon Farmer of the Year and Landcare Primary Producer Champion, Tim Woods and Jeannine Biviano, a former Telstra Business Woman of the Year.

Equally suited to any combination of sheep and cattle, Wingarra is currently supporting 1000 self-replacing ewes producing trade and export lambs, alongside 260 Angus breeders in a winter calving operation.

Mr Woods described Wingarra as arguably the best property in one of the most beautiful and fertile valleys west of Sydney.

“The mixed pasture sward has the ability to sustain stock and respond quickly to rainfall events regardless of timing, which has allowed us to increase the property’s carrying capacity,” he said.

LAWD director Col Medway described Wingarra as an outstanding farming, finishing and breeding holding.

“This property is exceptionally well improved and lends itself to a variety of enterprises. Everything is complete, so the new buyer will walk into an unbelievable opportunity.”

The country rises from alluvial flats through arable slopes to areas of timbered sandstone escarpment growing a balance of irrigation, summer and winter responsive pastures.

Around 110ha is under irrigation producing lucerne and other high-performance pastures across the year.

The property is watered by a bore and a 419ML ground water entitlement from the Bylong River in a 606mm average annual rainfall region.

Infrastructure includes a three-bedroom sandstone home, two two-bedroom cottages, two cattle yards, a two-stand shearing shed, sheep yards, numerous sheds and three silos with 190 tonnes of grain storage.

LAWD agents Col Medway and Daniel McCulloch are handling the sale.

Namoi River’s Windfall drops to $5.5m

Picturesque and well-located grazing and finishing country with secure water is enticing interest at $5.5 million after failing to sell six months ago for $6.3 million.

The 1489ha Windfall is located on the banks of the Namoi River, 22km from Manilla and 60 minutes drive north of Tamworth and 90 minutes west of Armidale.

Purchased by Gunnedah’s Peter and Julianna McArthur in 2017, the property was home to the Clay Pool Poll Herefords.

Capable of running up to 5000DSE, the McArthurs are currently running 2000 ewes and 2400 lambs, and between 50 and 80 cows and calves.

The country ranges from alluvial river flats to large open valleys with red basalt soils and more heavily timbered steeper sides.

There are two irrigation licences attached to Windfall including 212ML from the Namoi River and a further 100ML aquifer licence, supported by 23 dams.

Two centre pivot irrigators are used to water the 40ha of lucerne and forage crops.

Infrastructure includes three dwellings, a new four-stand shearing shed, sheep and cattle yards, numerous sheds and several silos.

Windfall is being sold by Cullen Royle agent Richard Royle and Purtle Plevey Agencies agent Samuel Plevey.
