Renowned Cropping + Livestock Property For Sale
Mixed Farm For Sale Offers Outstanding Balance Of Cropping + Grazing Country
‘Merrigal’ is one of the Central West NSW’s most recognised mixed farming properties, long synonymous with successful farming in the Collie district.
Located just 11km north of Collie, midway between Warren and Gilgandra and approximately 90km north of Dubbo, this farm for sale has evolved from a traditional wool-growing enterprise into a highly productive mixed farming operation combining broadacre cropping with Merino sheep breeding.
Comprising a total land area of 5,075 hectares (12,539 acres), ‘Merrigal’ offers an outstanding balance of cropping and grazing country.
This mixed farm for sale NSW is one of the Central West NSW’s most recognised cropping and grazing properties
Around 3,242 hectares (8,010 acres) are dedicated to productive dryland cropping, supported by fertile soft grey self-mulching soils through to red loams, while the remaining 1,833 hectares (4,529 acres) provide quality grazing country along the creek systems.
The property has historically been planted to barley, wheat, lucerne, chickpeas and faba beans, and offers potential to further expand the cropping area. Currently, 1,650 hectares are sown to wheat and barley with this crop given in. The balance of the cropping country will be kept in fallow.
Currently operating with a self-replacing Merino flock, ‘Merrigal’ is equally suited to sheep, cattle, or a combination of both.

Pastures across the grazing country consist primarily of native grasses and medics. Together these pastures provide a valuable grazing and finishing platform for livestock.
The Central West region enjoys a temperate inland climate with hot summers, cool winters and moderate annual rainfall averaging between 480-500mm, creating favourable conditions for cereal, pulse and fodder production, alongside sheep and cattle enterprises.
Water security is a major strength of ‘Merrigal’. Supply is provided by five bores (three electric, one solar and one windmill), supported by 13 dams and frontage to both Merrigal and Wemabung Creeks.
