About this property

Set on rich basalt soils, this 73.58ha (~182ac) highly productive property offers an ideal livestock and mixed farming opportunity. Located in the highly desirable and tightly held Furracabad area only 5 minutes from the town of Glen Innes by sealed road, this property is an incredible offering that doesn't come around often. Infrastructure includes an original one-stand shearing shed, with a side awning for storage. Original hangar-style shed offers further storage. Property presents with both sheep and cattle timber yards, with the cattle yards having a full crush and Ramage weigh box with scales, built undercover for all-weather use. Water security is well-covered with 5 catchment dams and 7 troughs connected to a 5000gal poly header tank pumped from a substantial water hole along the property's approximately 500m of frontage to Furracabad Creek. Largely flat and well-fenced into 9 paddocks, the property has undergone extensive 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. 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. Treatment has been in accordance with soil tests conducted November 2024 on several sites across the property, to monitor soil health and productivity (tests available on request). With an owner-estimated carrying capacity of 80 steers or 500 sheep in an average season, the property suits either a breeding or trading enterprise. The property is currently being use as part of a lamb finishing operation, with the current model using supplementary feed to finish 400 head of lambs every 6 weeks, with plans to increase to 500 in 2026. 2 paddocks totalling approximately 17ha have been sown to summer crop consisting of Millet, Sorghum and various Legumes, capitalising on the property's ability to produce quality forage crops.
