TESTING the market this spring in three regions of New South Wales are Binneguy Station in the north, The Lease in the Central West, and Jillimar on the south-west slopes.

Binneguy Station

George Barne’s well-known Binneguy Station is drawing strong local interest from across north-western NSW.

One of the district’s original holdings, the 1463ha dryland cropping and flood-irrigation property has been held by the Barne family for around 50 years.

It is near Biniguy, 12km east of Pallamallawa and 38km east of Moree.

The holding comprises 885ha of dryland cultivation, 249ha of flood irrigation and 329ha of supporting grazing country.

Its brown and black alluvial soils are suited to summer and winter cropping.

Most of the property was sown to barley this year, while previous crops have included cereals, sorghum, pulses and cotton.

Infrastructure includes a partly renovated four-bedroom cottage dating from circa 1890, a shed and 1158ML of water storage.

The property has a 780ML Gwydir general security water licence and a 270ML Gwydir supplementary water licence.

The licences will be offered separately at auction.

Binneguy Station will go to auction on December 4, with Moree Real Estate agents Paul Kelly, Sandy Bailey and Terry Adams handling the sale.

Jillimar

Michael and Edwina Beveridge have listed their mixed farm property Jillimar on the south-west slopes of NSW after five years of ownership, with a $26-million price guide.

The 1623ha holding is 30km west of Cootamundra and 35km from Temora.

With fertile red and brown loam soils, around 1537ha is arable.

Favourable seasonal conditions have supported the 2026 winter cropping and pasture program, which includes 576ha of wheat, 96ha of grazing canola, 117ha of vetch grazed before being baled, and 66ha of a forage crop mix for grazing.

LAWD selling agents Col Medway and Tim Corcoran said Jillimar offers flexibility across dryland cropping, fodder production and livestock breeding and finishing.

This year, the property has sown 841ha of winter crops and 559ha of improved pastures supporting a self-replacing fine-wool Merino flock of 3743, including 811 maiden ewes.

The 2026 vetch crop has yielded 3.5-6 tonnes per hectare of baled fodder.

Wheat and canola yields for this year are currently forecast at 5.8t/ha and 2t/ha respectively.

Wheat yielded 3.5t/ha in 2024 and 2.8t/ha in 2025, while canola returned 1.6t/ha and 1.8t/ha in those years respectively.

Current carrying capacity across improved pastures and fodder crops is 11DSE/ha.

The flock produces fine Merino wool averaging 17 microns, with ewes cutting around 6kg per head.

Water is supplied by a Goldenfields mains connection and 18 dams.

Average annual rainfall is 622mm.

Infrastructure comprises a four-bedroom home, a four-stand shearing shed, covered sheep yards, numerous sheds and 1426t of silo storage.

Expressions of interest for Jillimar close on December 3.

The Lease

The Swift family is offering The Lease, a Trangie property with development potential in Central Western NSW, for sale for the first time in nearly a century.

The 1020ha holding is 12km north-west of Trangie and has direct frontage to the Mitchell Highway.

It is close to Dubbo and Nyngan, with easy access to grain depots at Trangie and Nevertire.

Peter Milling & Company agent Peter Dwyer said the offering is attracting strong inquiry.

“Properties in the Trangie area are tightly held, with The Lease only being made available due to retirement,” Mr Dwyer said.

“Local interest has been the strongest with the property expected to achieve around $6 million.”

The country is flat to slightly undulating, with predominantly red and brown loam soils.

Most of the holding is considered arable and typically grows wheat, oats, and chickpeas.

Established pastures support livestock, while box, pine, rosewood, wilga and belah provide shade and shelter.

Water is supplied by eight dams and four equipped bores, with the Trangie-Nevertire Stock and Domestic Scheme providing an additional reliable source.

An existing irrigation outlet and compliant metered water delivery give the holding access to the Trangie-Nevertire Irrigation Scheme, providing a foundation for future irrigation enterprises.

Infrastructure includes two three-bedroom homes, a three-stand shearing shed, steel sheep and cattle yards, numerous sheds and seven silos with a combined grain storage capacity of 200t.

The Lease will be auctioned on a bare basis on November 20.
