About this property

A rare opportunity to acquire scale, soil quality, and infrastructure in one of Central West NSW's productive and scenic pockets. Positioned just off the Newell Highway, "Fair Oaks" is a mixed-farming property that combines strong agricultural potential with peaceful rural living all within easy reach of key regional centres. Land Size Spanning approximately 376 hectares (930 acres), "Fair Oaks" offers broadacre potential in a location well-suited for both cropping and livestock. With well-established paddocks and an expansive footprint, the property provides flexibility for a range of primary production enterprises. Soil The property features highly arable soils, with roughly 80% of the land comprising productive black to red sandy loam. These soil types are ideal for cereal, pulse, and oilseed cropping, with good structure and moisture retention. Farming Country The farming country has undergone significant soil improvement, with all cropping land deep ripped in 2025 to enhance productivity and soil health. Approximately 600 acres have previously been under crop, with the current season sown entirely to Fabar beans-a valuable pulse known for soil enrichment and market value. Share Farming Arrangement A successful share farming agreement is in place, currently operating on an 80/20 basis with the existing share farmer. This arrangement can be continued or renegotiated, providing an opportunity for passive income or a smooth transition for hands-on farming operators. Timber & Land The southeastern portion of the property includes approximately 230 acres of mature ironbark timber, offering potential for selective harvesting or conservation. In addition, native species such as gums and cypress pine are scattered throughout, enhancing the property's biodiversity and natural appeal. Fencing Internal fencing has been mostly removed to accommodate large-scale cropping, while boundary fencing is in place but would benefit from refurbishment. The layout lends itself well to broadacre operation or could be reconfigured to suit livestock enterprises. Water Water is a key feature of "Fair Oaks", with a fully equipped bore producing approximately 300 gallons per hour from a depth of around 190 feet. The bore feeds into a trough system and is complemented by seven strategically placed dams. The region enjoys a reliable annual rainfall of approximately 24-26 inches, adding confidence to seasonal operations. Homestead The property offers extensive living and working infrastructure. Two separate three-bedroom homes are connected by a shared veranda making it a spacious six-bedroom, two-bathroom residence featuring dual kitchens, two wood fires, and ducted evaporative cooling. An above-ground swimming pool and a covered veranda with stunning views of the Warrumbungles make the home ideal for entertaining or relaxing after a day on the land. The manicured lawns and gardens, all fed from the bore, add a charming touch to this productive working farm. Sheds, Solar & Additional Facilities Infrastructure includes two main sheds-a machinery shed, a workshop shed, and a container shed-plus an old wool shed measuring approximately 17m x 25m that is currently used for storage. The property is also fitted with 18 solar panels, reducing energy costs and improving sustainability for off-grid or remote operations. Location Strategically located approximately 23km from Gilgandra, 88km from Dubbo, and just 450km west of Sydney, "Fair Oaks" offers rural tranquillity without sacrificing access to services, markets, and transport routes. Whether you're seeking a productive broadacre cropping platform, a livestock holding, or a lifestyle property with scale and scenery, "Fair Oaks" delivers. With its combination of soil, water, infrastructure, and location, this property stands out as a flexible and high-potential opportunity in the heart of Central West NSW.
