The aggregation comprises two adjoining properties known as ‘Linwood’ and ‘Auburn Vale’, which have been run as one since the purchase of the latter 633.63-hectare holding.

In the past the aggregation has comfortably run 6,000 mixed sheep and 100 cows and replacement females. There is significant potential for this to be ramped up with the addition of fertilizer and pastures – with stock records highlighting an estimated carrying capacity of 8,500 DSE.

In addition to scale, ‘Linwood Aggregation’ boasts impressive natural assets such as water, rainfall and native trees. There is also potential for off-farm income through the New England REZ zone and specifically the proposed Winterbourne Wind Project.

The attractive grazing country comprises mostly gently undulating traprock country rising to some steeper basalt hills. The pastures are mostly native species with Microlaena and natural medics and clovers.

A significant portion of the property is open grazing country with scattered timber throughout. Some steeper country on the western end of the property has areas of increased density of native timber including Stringy Bark, Gum, Peppermint, Box and Wattle. Approximately 180 hectares of ‘Linwood Aggregation’ has been cropped or pasture improved with capacity for much more – offering significant upside for a new owner.

The bores on both ‘Linwood’ and ‘Auburn Vale’ are equipped with pumps, with water reticulated to troughs in smaller holding paddocks (and in the case of ‘Linwood’, the house and woolshed).
