Central Victorian aggregation heads to auction

After 46 years of ownership, the Ford family will auction its versatile grazing property in central Victoria as a whole or as separate holdings.

The 1347ha holdings Lisoux, Denning Rise and Hillside are located 5km from Baringhup, 9km from Maldon and 37km from Bendigo.

They comprise:

 The 685ha Lisoux, that is subdivided into 18 paddocks and watered by the Loddon River and 23 dams. Infrastructure includes a three-bedroom home, a seven-stand shearing shed, steel sheep yards and numerous sheds.

 The 350ha Denning Rise, that is subdivided into 16 paddocks and watered by 21 dams and pipe water (accessed via an adjacent mine). Infrastructure includes a three-bedroom home and a three-stand shearing shed.

 The 311ha Hillside, that is subdivided into nine paddocks and watered by 15 dams.

The country features gently undulating granite soils with good stands of native timber shelter belts capable of running between 5000 to 6000DSE (season dependent).

Nutrien Harcourts agent Alister Kemp said the three holdings are presenting in good condition after recent rain.

“Their versatility is likely to attract a range of buyers seeking livestock grazing and fattening, wool growing, hay production and cropping.

“They could interest a developer because the properties have good road frontages and several crown allotments running through them,” Mr Kemp said.

The Lisoux, Denning Rise and Hillside aggregation is watered by dams, the Six Mile Creek and the Loddon River and will be auctioned on October 9.

Outback NSW station tipped to raise around $10m

After 99 years of Clarke family ownership, Tas and Penne Clarke have listed Kayrunnera Station in outback New South Wales with hopes of raising around $10 million.

The 48,699ha holding, 64km west of White Cliffs and 211km north-east of Broken Hill, is attracting good inquiry from mostly South Australian producers seeking to expand their existing operations.

Nutrien Russell Property and Livestock agent David Russell has been appointed to sell Kayrunnera on a walk-in walk-out basis that includes an extensive list of plant and machinery, as well as 6500 sheep and lambs.

“The vendors have carried out cautious grazing management and care for this land over many years, with outstanding structural improvements making this pastoral property a true turnkey operation.

“This includes water ponding and spreading which has increased the property’s carrying capacity,” he explained.

The red loam clay to under stone open grazing country is growing saltbush, bluebush, some black oak, scattered mulga, gidgee and rosewood, with buffel in the creek lines.

Rated to carry 8000DSE, Kayrunnera is currently running 4000 ewes and 2500 lambs and each year, the vendor traps and sells around 2000 goats.

The Kayrunnera and Turkey Creeks disperse through property, along with numerous tributaries and seasonal waterholes. This is supported by 16 dams and 253mm of annual rainfall.

Infrastructure includes a four-bedroom home, a two-bedroom worker’s quarters, numerous sheds, a five-stand shearing shed, steel sheep yards and goat handling yards. Over the past 10 years, 100km of new fencing has been installed.

Expressions of interest for Kayrunnera Station close on October 17.

Goodooga’s Dunvegan offers versatility

In the Western Division of northern New South Wales, the O’Connor family has listed its versatile grazing and cropping opportunity after 40 years of ownership.

The 6438ha Dunvegan is 20km from Goodooga and suited to a range of enterprises including cropping, sheep and cattle, or as a mixed operation.

Around 400ha of the fertile heavy black self-mulching soils are currently sown to wheat; however, there is potential to expand the cropping program or conversely, intensify the grazing.

CPS Thomas Ballhausen and Irvine agent Bryce Thomas said Dunvegan is ideal for farming families, investors or operators seeking expansion, with a light stocking history resulting in an exceptional body of feed.

The property is watered by a bore and double frontage to the Birrie River.

Infrastructure includes a three-bedroom home, numerous sheds, a three-stand shearing shed complex with modern shearers' quarters, steel cattle yards and 16km of exclusion fencing.

Dunvegan will be auctioned on October 24.
