Property For Sale NSW Offers Diversification Opportunities

Successful Sheep Property For Sale NSW With Cropping Opportunity

This rural property for sale north-west NSW presents an untapped opportunity to diversify its successful Merino sheep breeding enterprise to include a cropping operation.

Strategically located 50km north-north-east of Lighting Ridge, 70km south of Dirranbandi and 485km south-west of Toowoomba, ‘Yeranbah’ spans 7,805 hectares (19,286.57 acres) of high-quality grazing country.

The vendors have run the holding as a sheep breeding enterprise since purchase. The property has been consistently stocked with 3,000+ ewes with the exception of drier years when country and feed has been prioritised. In season there has been 100-200 steers run on the western side of the property as a trade opportunity.

Fenced into 11 internal paddocks via newer prefabricated fencing, the eastern side of ‘Yeranbah’ consists of softer red soils with native grasses including areas of Mitchell Grass running into areas of box flats, grey flood-out country and red gravel ridges. Timber consists of Gum, Myall, Leopard Wood, Sandlewood and Dog Wood.

The 12-mile swamp creek intersects the south-eastern corner providing beneficial flood-out in season.

The western side of the property largely consists of Narran River floodplain with grey self-mulching soils and vast stands of Belah. There have been areas cleared and some 700 acres pulled in readiness for cropping. There is also a gravel pit on ‘Yeranbah’ located just to the east of Koomalah Road which has potential for supplementary income.

Underpinning the productive holding is secure water sourced from the Yeranbah Bore Trust which feeds the property via a mix of 90mm, 65mm and 50mm polyethylene pipe. Being at the head of the system the pressure is sufficient to run troughs throughout the property with ease.

There are 19 troughs on ‘Yeranbah’ with most connected to a 22,500-litre tank and some connected direct to the pipeline. There are several risers located throughout the property that are currently unconnected.

The homestead complex is supplied water by the bore system as well as a ground tank delivering water to the garden via a windmill.
