Historic Cattle Station For Sale For First Time In 175 Years

Large-Scale, Proven Cattle Property For Sale South East QLD

‘Warroo Station’, one of southern Queensland’s most tightly held pastoral assets, is for sale for the first time in several generations.

Held by the same family since original settlement, this historic property has remained in continuous family ownership for 175 years, across seven generations. Its listing marks a rare opportunity to secure a large-scale, proven grazing enterprise in a highly reputable Southern Downs location.

Spanning around 9,357 hectares across 15 freehold titles, ‘Warroo Station’ is one of the largest freehold landholdings within a 200-kilometre radius of Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Elders Real Estate Farmland and Agribusiness Investment Specialist Phillip Kelly says properties of this size and quality are seldom offered to the open market.

“Large, multi-titled holdings like ‘Warroo Station’ are extremely rare in this part of Queensland,” he says. 

“This property has been historically tightly held by long-term family ownership, which means opportunities to acquire land of this scale, with this level of proven production, simply don’t come along very often.”

Beyond its scale, ‘Warroo Station’ is regarded as an important part of Australia’s pastoral history, with long-standing ties to the Red Angus cattle breed and the sheep and wool industry.

“The station has played a significant role in the evolution of Australia’s sheep, wool and beef industries. It’s a property with a deep production pedigree and a proven track record across multiple agricultural cycles,” Kelly says.

Efficient access to major livestock markets, saleyards, feedlots, meat processing facilities and regional service centres, strengthening its appeal for both operating producers and long-term investors.

Another key element is the property’s multi-title configuration, which opens up future flexibility. “‘Warroo Station’ comprises 15 freehold titles, many with public road access,” he says. “That creates flexibility, whether for large-scale beef or sheep operations, or for future land banking and strategic investment opportunities.”

The decision to sell follows the family’s succession process, with the current owners choosing to exit direct landholding as the next generation pursues interests outside frontline farming. “For buyers looking for a large, proven grazing asset in a strategic and tightly held region, ‘Warroo Station’ represents a rare chance to secure something truly exceptional,” Kelly says.

Crucial to the property’s long-held success is its diverse land types that extend from quality alluvial creek flats to undulating low hills of open grasslands through to light to moderate timbered areas offering seasonal protection to livestock.
