QLD Cattle Property For Sale A Piece Of Burncluith History

‘Blair Athol’ presents a rare chance to secure a sizeable, high-quality cattle property for sale on the doorstep of the thriving township of Chinchilla on Queensland’s Western Downs.

Tightly held by the Fraser/Wolski family for generations, with connections to the district dating back to the 1940s, this is not just a property – it’s a piece of Burncluith history. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly scarce.

Positioned just 13km north-east of Chinchilla and 90km from Dalby, the property comprises 729.1887 hectares (1,801.86 acres) featuring a great mixture of Brigalow, Belah and Coolabah creek flats running to Box, Wilga and Gum country.

‘Blair Athol’ is presently showing a good body of feed with pastures including Forrest Bluegrass, Buffel and other natural species.

The entire property has been cleared in the past, with some areas of old cultivation. It is mainly white on the vegetation map, with only a small area along the creek showing orange. The PMAV is locked in.

Secure water is a key feature of the property with two excellent lagoons and seven dams, plus some 9km of creek frontage, including good near-permanent holes in both creeks (5.5km of Branch Creek and 3.5km of Charley’s Creek).

The main dam supplies water to a 5,000-gallon concrete tank at the shed and to a 5,000-gallon poly tank at the house with a pressure pump used to water gardens and supply water to the troughs in the main yards.

A 3,000-gallon cup-and-saucer poly tank is connected by poly pipe to Charley’s Creek (no pump). Rainwater for the house is supplied by numerous tanks totalling 12,000 gallons plus another 3,000 gallons at the old cottage and sheds.

The property is divided into 13 paddocks with a laneway running through the home block leading to the yards. All fencing has been recently maintained and is in good, older stock-proof condition. Most boundary fencing is in good condition. There is a give-and-take boundary fence along the creek with numerous crossings.

The main cattle yards consist of a combination of timber and portable steel panels, with a loading ramp, two head bales, branding cradle and two water troughs. The second set of yards on the eastern block consist mainly of portable steel panels, a steel loading ramp and a vet crush.

‘Blair Athol’ also offers abundant storage including a three-bay (11m x 9.4m x 3.6m) steel frame machinery shed enclosed on three sides (in very good condition), an older two-bay (12m x 7.5m) timber shed enclosed on three sides (in solid condition), an old storage/shearing shed on stumps with timber floor and power connected, and an older (6m x 5m x 4m) timber hay shed enclosed on three sides. There’s also a five-tonne seed/grain silo on a cement base.

Complementing the on-farm infrastructure is an original house built in 1912 and held by the same family since 1953. This character-filled timber homestead, set within a fully fenced house yard, offers a rare opportunity to secure a piece of local history with roots dating back to the 1940s.
