For the first time in 100 years, valuable grazing land is being offered for sale in Queensland. A family-owned property of 3,318 hectares will be auctioned off.
According to real estate agent Aussie Land and Livestock, approximately 3,318 hectares of proven grazing land in the state of Queensland, Australia, are currently up for sale. The property will be auctioned off on June 26 at the Mundubbera Golf Club. Located in the North Burnett Region, where there is scarcely any land left for purchase, it offers significant development potential and a very rare opportunity for farmers. This vast expanse of land is hitting the market for the first time in 98 years.
The property combines productivity, water security, and potential. It is being offered for sale for the first time in generations and has only had two owners so far. Since its cultivation in 1927, it has delivered proven performance for almost a century. However, it still offers ample room for future developments, as explained by Aussie Land and Livestock.
The land features approximately 1,416 hectares of cleared to semi-cleared grazing land, around 809 hectares with potential for grazing land development, and semi-hilly to hilly terrain, including about 1,375 hectares of forested area.
With regards to water supply, the property boasts 18 dams, 5 boreholes, 1 well, and a permanent source, along with a 37,900-liter cement tank, numerous polytanks and troughs, reliable underground water supply with solar panels, windmills, and Sureflow pump systems. Historically, it has supported 450-480 animals, with a capacity of over 500 animals in the past, ensuring reliable livestock management.
The infrastructure includes excellent steel and wooden stables, 4 main grazing areas, 5 holding paddocks, a new machinery shed, and easy access to livestock markets. In possession of the same family for generations, this is a genuine sale.
In conclusion, the auction house emphasizes: "This is a unique opportunity to acquire an extensive, productive operation deeply rooted in the region's grazing history. Properties of this size, quality, and location are rarely offered on the open market."
