A portfolio of three well located mixed farms near Narrandera offers potential buyers economies of scale and operating efficiencies. Rockvale, The Station and Clifton are located on the Newell Highway, 10km north of Narrandera.

The well known Charles family owns The Station and the nearby Rockvale, neighbours Clifton, which is being offered for sale by the Burden family.

McGrath Riverina agent Craig Pellow is offering a $2800/ac to $3200/ac price guide for the aggregation, which he describes as ‘value for money’.

“Country around Temora, Cootamundra and Young is selling for $4000/ac to $6000/ac and in Wallendbeen it is making $10,000/ac.

“Eight years out of 10, Narrandera will harvest close to 100 percent of the grain produced at Temora.

“The three properties are situated on the Newell Highway and offer access north to Brisbane, south to Melbourne and east to Sydney, as well as nearby grain-receival sites,” he said.

Mr Pellow said the Narrandera Aggregation boasts good yellow box, pine, and kurrajong country in a 457mm rainfall region.

“The arable country has expansive open runs (around 2km to 3km) that offer economies of scale and operating efficiencies attractive to large family farm operators and/or corporates.”

Rockvale also benefits from an established quarry operation currently leased to Mawsons & Sons, providing secure ongoing income through rent and royalties.

The 946ha Clifton is located 5km east of Narrandera and has a history of livestock production and cropping.

Mr Pellow said currently operating as a grazing enterprise, Clifton’s fertile soils and strong cropping history highlight its potential for expansion into cropping.

Reliable water is supplied to the property by dams and a mains connection.

Infrastructure includes a four-stand shearing shed, sheep and cattle yards, numerous sheds and five silos.
