Rare Riverina Opportunity — 5km of Murrumbidgee River Frontage

This 1,560-acre property is located along 5 km of Murrumbidgee River frontage, nestled between Gundagai and Wagga Wagga in New South Wales. The land is rich with ancient River Red Gums and a variety of regenerating eucalyptus species. It holds three water licenses for High Security, General Security, and Unregulated Stream water rights, ensuring sustainable water access for agricultural use.

Originally settled by the Scottish Paton family in 1838, the property has remained in the same family for over 170 years. The Patons established a thriving tobacco operation in the early 20th century, utilizing both local land and a workforce of Chinese immigrants.

The property was also pivotal in the development of the Australian tobacco market and still houses one of the original tobacco kilns. By the 1930s, the focus shifted to dairying, with the family introducing electricity to the property—a first in the region. In the 1960s, it transitioned to beef and sheep production, eventually becoming home to one of the world’s largest herds of Stud Red Poll cattle, as well as Charolais cattle.

The property’s agricultural focus evolved over the years, with the family running a Border Leister sheep stud until 2000 and continuing with a commercial sheep flock until 2020.

Today, the land remains a commercial cattle property and is known for its robust native vegetation and diverse ecosystems. It is home to native species like wedge-tailed eagles, echidnas, and platypuses, while also supporting the harvesting of native grasses for roadside restoration projects.

The land is geologically significant, part of the Gilmore Rift, with fascinating rock formations and even traces of gold discovered on-site. The fertile river flats and sandy loam soils provide excellent conditions for sustainable agricultural practices, and the property boasts impressive infrastructure, including cattle yards, machinery sheds, and a reliable water system with dams, bores, and springs. The surrounding district, known as “the Golden Mile,” is home to several influential properties, making this a rare and highly sought-after area.

A truly unique combination of ecological preservation and commercial success, this property has endured for generations, offering a beautiful landscape and a prosperous agricultural enterprise.
