LATEST listings include Silvermist in Western Australia’s Great Southern region, two aggregations on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, and one in the Victorian Mallee.

Silvermist, Western Australia

After nine years of ownership, Tony and Jo Slattery have listed their mixed farm in Western Australia’s Great Southern region for $10 million.

Described as a proven performer in a reliable rainfall location, the 1146ha Silvermist is 101km from Albany and borders the Wellstead township, putting it is 2km from a CBH receival site.

The flat to gently undulating land has 50 percent sand over gravel and 50 percent sandy loam over clay.

Around 826ha is arable and currently seeded to oats and canola, with the balance running sheep on serradella, clover and kikuyu pastures.

Nutrien Harcourts agent Joe Galantino said Silvermist would serve as an ideal satellite block or an add-on to an existing farming operation.

In addition to the cropping and livestock, the property has four separately managed pine plantations spanning 49ha.

Silvermist is watered by 10 dams and one bore supported by 593mm of annual average rainfall.

During the 2024 growing season, 450mm of rain has fallen.

Infrastructure includes a four-bedroom home, a four-stand shearing shed, steel sheep and cattle yards, a livestock complex, numerous sheds, and 160 tonnes of grain storage.

In recent years, all the boundary fencing has been renewed.

Davis’ Aggregation & Carpa, South Australia

Elders agent Luke Duncan has listed two farms on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula.

Davis’ Aggregation

More than 100 years of Davis family ownership will end with the sale of its mixed-farming aggregation  14km north of Darke Peak, 45km north-west of Cleve, and 50km south of Kimba.

The 2378ha Davis’ Aggregation comprises three adjoining properties which are being offered to the market as a whole or as separate contingent parts.

Together, the aggregation is expected to make $9.45M or $4521 an arable hectare, plus improvements.

• 1130ha Caralue has been listed for $4.5M. Around 990ha is cleared and arable for cropping. Infrastructure includes sheep yards and numerous sheds;
• 956ha Hutchins is offered for $4M and has 844ha that are arable for cropping. Infrastructure includes a home, numerous sheds, a shearing shed and sheep yards;
• 288ha Peak Hill has a $950,000 price tag and has 210 arable hectares. Infrastructure includes sheep yards.

Peak Hill was originally purchased by the Davis family in 1920, followed by Hutchins in 1921 and Caralue in 1979.

Over the years, the three properties have been conservatively farmed using a mixed farming method of crop and livestock rotation.

Situated in a 380mm average annual rainfall area, the three properties each have mains water plumbed to tanks, troughs and rainwater storage.

Carpa

Meantime, a continuous cropping enterprise located 20km south-east of Cleve, 30km south-west of Cowell, and 25km north of Arno Bay north is being sold by a local landholder after several generations of ownership.

Around 2100ha of the 2182ha Carpa Aggregation is cleared and arable for cropping mostly wheat and barley.

Carpa comprises four properties referred to as North, East, South, West that feature open plains with sandy loam soils.

• 1049ha West – 1023ha arable. Infrastructure includes a three-stand shearing shed, two sheds and grain silos;
• 733ha South – 693ha arable. Infrastructure includes a three-bedroom home, two sheds and grain silos;
• 221ha North – 218ha arable.
• 178ha East – 166ha arable.

The average annual rainfall is 360mm with between 70 to 80 percent falling in the April-October growing season.

Mains water is available to the four blocks.

Carpa is offered as a whole or as four separate contingent parts by way of expressions of interest closing November 13.

Tutye, Victoria

After three generations, the Kelly family is offloading its cropping country in the Mallee district of far north-western Victoria to concentrate on other business interests.

The 1968ha Tutye is located 30km from Murrayville, 58km from Pinnaroo, SA, and 80km from Ouyen.

Across the aggregation, around 1821ha is arable, with undulating to rising red loam soils typically growing a rotation of canola, lentils, wheat and barley.

Elders agent Marty Deacon is anticipating inquiry from corporates who own surrounding land, as well as large family operators.

Price expectations are understood to be around $2545/ha.

Water is sourced from a privately owned bore, as well as two dams. The only infrastructure is a set of steel cattle yards.

Tutye is being offered via expressions of interest as a whole or as five separate contingent allotments: Lot 1 – 609ha; Lot 23 – 323ha; Lot 27 – 520ha; Lot 28 –  310ha, and Lot 29 – 204ha.
