MORE than 7500ha of impressive broadacre farming and grazing country in central New South Wales is being offered for separate sale by three neighbouring property owners.

Anticipated to raise between $18 million and $19M, the holdings are likely to attract larger family operators.

Mogal Plain

Condobolin-based Daniel and Phillipa Jones have listed the 2460ha Mogal Plain for $6.5M to pursue interests closer to home.

The property is located on flood-out country 46km west of Tottenham and 93km north of Condobolin.

Around 95 percent of the flat to gently undulating rich red farming country is growing wheat, which is not included in the sale.

Situated in a 493mm average annual rainfall region, Mogal Plain has 14 dams with extensive catchments, and laser-levelled channels distribute water from those with the best inflow.

The system of harvesting the water run-off underpins water security, with a 4ML water licence allowing for flood irrigation when the season permits.

The quality infrastructure includes a recently renovated four-bedroom home, numerous sheds, steel cattle and sheep yards and seven silos with 1150-tonnes of grain, fertiliser and seed storage.

Ray White Rural agent Paddy Ward said the Boyd automated lamb feeding system is a huge asset.

“The fully automated Boyd lamb-feeding system has 54 sheep feeders in 19 lamb pens (160-320 head per pen), with three feed sources supplied by 110t wheat, 50t lupin and 30t pellet silos.”

Mains power is connected, with water sourced from a 200,000L water tank pumped from a large dam where it reticulates to each of the pen troughs.

NILOC

In May, retiring Greg and Heather Weber listed their turnkey mixed farming operation with a $5.5M-$6M price guide.

The 2490ha NILOC near Bobadah, 45km west of Tottenham and 92km from Nyngan, has been held by the Webers for 17 years.

The property was named sometime around World War II and, if you haven’t figured it already, is COLIN spelt backwards.

The generally flat to rolling country offers a mix of cropping and grazing areas capable of running up to 2500 ewes and followers.

Currently destocked and supporting a solid body of feed, around 85 percent of NILOC is arable with the vendors permitted to clear more country.

McGrath Rural agent Scott Petersen described the property as versatile, well managed and thoughtfully developed.

“After tremendous rain to start the 2024 season and good follow up falls, the rich red loamy soils are boasting a great moisture profile with the vendors planting more than 500ha to barley.”

NILOC is watered by 19 dams.

Infrastructure includes two homes, cattle and sheep yards, a three-stand woolshed, numerous sheds and 625 tonnes of grain storage.

There are more than 60km of new and near new fencing.

Marooba

For the past 10 years, the adjoining 2557ha Marooba has been run as a mixed-farming operation with a strong focus on cereal and oilseed production.

Held by Forbes-based Martin, Tanya and Tim Hewitt who are now downsizing, the property was listed for $6 million in February by MCC Chudleigh Dobell agent Adam Chudleigh.

Described as 90 percent arable, Marooba is offered for sale as a crop ready operation with current owners maintaining a structured cropping preparation and planting program.

The mostly undulating soft red loam soils, with some beneficial creek flood out country, is growing wheat, canola and barley which are benefitting from the most favourable season in a decade.

Marooba is watered by nine dams.

Infrastructure includes a three-bedroom home, 1750-tonnes of grain storage, a three-stand shearing shed and steel sheep yards.
