Rural Property For Sale Offers Country Luxury And Grazing Excellence
Cattle Property For Sale Meticulously Planned And Developed
This rural property for sale offers a perfect blend of country luxury and grazing excellence in a superb location on the outskirts of Gloucester in the hinterland of the mid-north coast of NSW, less than an hour to the beach and only three hours’ drive to Sydney.
Spanning 351.3 hectares (868 acres), the property has been meticulously planned and developed to support a cattle grazing operation turning off approximately 1,000 steers per annum to feedlots and domestic markets.
The property stretches across a valley with topography of undulating to gently rolling hills and steeper hills on the southern and eastern boundaries. Over 2km of Gloucester River frontage forms the north-western boundary with alluvial flats flanking the river.

Soils are predominantly red and brown kurosols with a loamy surface over alluvial clay. The river flats consist of sandy loam and clay loam soils.
Although comprehensively cleared, shelter timber occurs on the hill in the south-western corner and on the eastern boundary. Native timber also lines the Gloucester River.
More than 92 per cent of the property is pasture improved including annual sown pastures and perennial pastures. Improved and sown pastures are grazed and harvested for fodder conservation including silage, haylage and hay.

Approximately 188 hectares are sown annually predominantly with highly productive Diploid Italian Ryegrass, Oats, Persian Clover and Crimson Clover. A further 78 hectares is sown to perennial permanent pasture and around 30 hectares is sown to native perennial pastures.
Troy Richards, principal of TGR Agronomy Services, which has been instrumental in the pasture development, says the property is a credit to the owner’s vision to produce perfectly weighted Angus steers to feedlot entry using a pasture system that delivers year in and year out without fail.
Annual production tops 15-18 tonne of dry matter/hectare per annum using a 18-26 day rotational grazing system.

Water security is outstanding. Situated in a soft, temperate climate with average annual rainfall of 993mm, the property boasts 2.1km of frontage to the clear waters of the Gloucester River, offering numerous access areas for a spot of fishing, swimming or simply enjoying watching the water pass by.
Two river water licences are included along with approximately 30 dams (desilted in 2019), many of which are spring-fed. A diesel pump on one of the main dams pumps to a header tank at the top of the hill. Water reticulates to troughs in holding paddocks and to the watering system in the garden. All paddocks are watered by at least one dam.
