WA Rural Property For Sale With Multiple Income Streams

Cattle, Carbon + Tourism Underpin WA Rural Property For Sale 

Situated 10km north of Cue and 650km north of Perth, ‘Nallan Station’ boasts a diverse range of regular and reliable income streams – including cattle, carbon and tourism – with the potential to expand all of them.

The large-scale rural property for sale WA was originally established in the 1920s as ‘Poplar Downs’, before adopting the name ‘Nallan’ in the 1990s, an Aboriginal word meaning “good eating” that likely references the abundance around Nallan Lake when it fills with seasonal rain.

Spanning approximately 98,886 hectares (around 248,000 acres), the property is a genuine working cattle station that also offers an authentic outback tourism experience supported by substantial accommodation and camping facilities.

Underpinned by 14 different land systems providing a good variety of grazing country, 16 paddocks with quality fencing, and 17 equipped bores and wells, ‘Nallan’ boasts a rated potential carrying capacity of 939 cattle units.

While the current owners are only running a minimal number at present, all the infrastructure is in place to run a first-class cattle breeding program, including an excellent set of yards, a purpose-built weaner management compound, 10km of laneways connecting the homestead to the yards, and watered paddocks.

The all-steel main cattle yards feature a crush, internal scales and panel reader, undercover processing area with weatherproof storage container, and loading ramp – all adding up to a comfortable 500-head capacity. There’s also a large round yard and lunging yard suitable for equestrian use.

‘Nallan’ also houses a wool shed in good condition and a range of other buildings including machinery sheds, workshop, meat house, generator shed, carports and general storage sheds.

Complementing the livestock enterprise is the well-established tourism business which is currently operated as a low-input venture.

Facilities include six well-appointed rooms in the renovated shearers’ quarters, eight fully equipped bedrooms in donga-style accommodation, and virtually an unlimited number of unpowered caravan and camp sites.

There’s also men’s and women’s ablution facilities, a well-equipped kitchen dining room and a large undercover outdoor barbeque area, and a small souvenir shop that can be open when you want to. There is a fascinating collection of memorabilia and pictures that will all stay. The sale includes the online booking system, website and self-check in.

Looking ahead, the owners estimate the income from tourism could easily be doubled, capitalising on the region’s popular features and attractions.

Situated just 2km off the Great Northern Highway and a comfortable 650km drive north of Perth, the area is a destination for bird watchers with more than 150 different species known to be in the vicinity, prospectors with known alluvial gold in almost every direction, and outback explorers just wanting to see the diverse range of historical sites, Aboriginal heritage and art, star-filled skies and the endless fields of wildflowers in season.

Providing a substantial third source of income is a carbon project known as the West Australian Rangeland Conservation Initiative. The HIR Carbon Project ERF121763 is registered and reporting with Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) having already been issued.

While the most up-to-date information regarding estimated ACCUs over the 25-year life of the project are not available, best estimates based on land systems and size of property is between 250,000 and 280,000 ACCUs.

Managed by Terra Carbon, one of Australia’s largest carbon project service providers, the project has been through its five-year audit and reportedly satisfied all the expected benchmarks.
