Notable Riverina Farms For Sale Boast Scale, Diversity + Secure Water
NSW Farms For Sale Described As “A Special Listing”
Two of the Riverina’s most notable agricultural holdings, ‘Cowl Cowl’ and ‘Wyadra’ stations, are being offered for sale by LAWD, presenting an outstanding opportunity to acquire a large-scale, diversified portfolio including high-security and reliable ground water entitlements, irrigated horticulture, dryland cropping and a significant almond operation.
Together, the two contiguous properties span 19,496 hectares and run as a single operation bisected by the Lachlan River.
Large-scale, diverse agricultural production encompassing mature almonds, soft cereals, pulse and fibre is supported by a total 53,227 megalitres of high and general security water entitlements.
Across the aggregation, 8,838 hectares has been developed to channel-fed, lateral spray irrigation of cotton, canola, wheat and barley, while a further 1,064 hectares has been laser-levelled for flood irrigation, with opportunity for redevelopment.

Complementing the broadacre operation is a 604-hectare, vigorous and early mature almond orchard at ‘Wyadra’, planted between 2016 and 2017, with a weighted average tree age of 9.4 years.
The orchard includes a diversified mix of Nonpareil (50 per cent), Monterey (25 per cent) and Wood Colony (25 per cent) trees, and is located within one of Australia’s key almond-producing regions, where the Riverina’s favourable climate and soil profiles have consistently supported strong yields.
Beyond the irrigated footprint and almond orchard is extensive dryland cropping, native pastoral grazing and operational support land, underpinned by a temperate climate receiving around 420 millimetres of annual rainfall.
Unparalleled Asset In The Region
LAWD consultant Danny Thomas describes ‘Cowl Cowl’ and ‘Wyadra’ as “a special listing’, combining the rare features of scale, water, infrastructure and production flexibility that will draw the interest of institutional investors.

“This opportunity is as good as it gets, offering irrigated agriculture at scale and infrastructure that’s second to none, with a huge amount of the best-value groundwater in the southern Murray Darling Basin,” he says.
The aggregation has a proven production record, with cotton historically achieving yields of approximately 11 to 12.5 bales per hectare, while dryland cereal production typically targets yields of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 tonnes per hectare.
Thomas says the properties’ performance reinforce their reputation as one of the Lachlan Valley’s standout agricultural holdings. “‘Cowl Cowl’ and ‘Wyadra’ grow some of the best crops in the Riverina and the high-value almond plantings are about to reach their maturity window. This portfolio is undoubtedly one of the highest-performing assets in the Lachlan Valley region,” he adds.
An experienced management team, with benchmarked commodity and management performance, currently oversees both properties and may be retained by the successful purchaser, providing a seamless transition and continuity of operations.
