Set on rich basalt soils, this 117ha (~289ac) highly productive property offers an ideal livestock and mixed farming opportunity. Located in Furracabad only 5 minutes from Glen Innes by sealed road, this property is an offering that doesn't come around often.
Infrastructure includes an original one-stand shearing shed, with a side awning for machinery storage. Original hangar-style shed offers further storage. Property presents with both sheep and cattle timber yards, with the cattle yards having built-in scales and a full crush, thoughtfully built undercover for protection from the elements.
Water security is well-covered with 11 catchment dams and 4 troughs connected to a 5000gal poly header tank pumped from a substantial water hole along the property's 800m of frontage to Furracabad Creek.
Largely flat and fenced into 17 paddocks, the property has undergone careful management to maximize productivity, with established mixed-species windbreaks and ongoing soil and pasture improvement program. "Carbon Boost", a soil improver designed to increase microbial activity and stimulate root growth has been applied to the majority of the property at 30L/ha, with the remainder applied at 20L/ha. Recent application of Aus Cal Lime to 45ac at the rear of the property and regular gypsum applications on the whole property at 250kg/ha have also been undertaken, coupled with soil tests conducted November 2024 on 6 sites across the property to monitor soil health and productivity (available on request). With an owner-estimated carrying capacity of 120150 steers or 500 sheep in an average season, the property suits either a breeding or trading enterprise. 50ac of land has been sown to oats in February, capitalising on the property's ability to produce quality forage crops.
The property is comprised of 2 lots, Lot 2 at 73ha (~180ac) and Lot 3 at 44ha (~109ac), the option to purchase Lot 3 only for $1,230,000 is also offered, for those looking to acquire a smaller area of land.
