ANGUS McLennan’s 1218 hectare (3009 acre) Warialda property Geida Downs is on the market for $2.4 million after being auctioned by Ray White Rural on September 1.
Marketing agent Tim Lyne, Ray White Rural Moree, said the property is described as a great example of a breeding and finishing enterprise with the added ability to diversify into cash crops.
The owner estimates the property will carry about 350 breeders or sheep equivalent in addition to crop finishing.
There is about 165ha sown to forage oats plus a further 180ha of previously farmed country that has been planted to tropicals and native grasses.
Located 11km north of Warialda, Geida Downs also has 80ha of permissive occupancy attached to the property.
The country is described as generally undulating, rising away from rich alluvial flats along Mosquito Creek which runs through the property. There are black to chocolate basalt type soils with areas of lighter loam on some of the higher country.
Timber is mainly white box, broadleaf ironbark, kurrajong, and myall with some areas of pine on the high country.
Water supplied from two bores supplying nine tanks and troughs, six dams, Mosquito Creek and two permanent springs. The average annual rainfall is 700mm.
Other improvements include a four bedroom home, sheds, workshop, wool shed, three stand wool shed, steel sheep yards, silos, hay shed and steel cattle yards.
