A private Adelaide-based vendor has listed 911ha of highly productive cropping and livestock farmland for sale.
Established in 1910 by Edward Hunt and Millicent Stoddart, the Mundulla aggregation now consists of five non-contiguous land holdings, located between 5km and 23km west of Bordertown, South Australia, near the Victorian border.
The Mundulla district provides ideal climatic conditions, with an average rainfall of 520mm. This, combined with quality soil types, underpins a winter cropping program and potential to further improve pastures for livestock production.
Around 851ha of the property is currently cropped for grain legumes, cereals, oilseeds and oaten hay. This season, crop yield and quality on the aggregation has performed extremely well when many areas in South Australia have suffered under extremely dry conditions.
The aggregation’s proximity to grain storage sites, livestock sale yards and abattoirs supports cropping endeavours and the direct sale of sheep and cattle.
The Mundulla farmland is available for purchase as a single landholding or as five individual properties, including Kil-Lel (176ha), Richmond (225ha), Speculation (112ha), Sweataroo (313ha) and The Cottage (85ha).
CBRE Agribusiness agents Phil Schell and Angus Bills have been appointed to sell the aggregation.
Mr Bills noted: “The property offers an opportunity to purchase a great mixed-farming operation ideally suited to winter cropping. The aggregation’s location provides existing farming businesses the opportunity to expand or enter the industry and district at scale.”
“We are expecting interest from local family farming businesses and pastoralists looking for a feed block close to nearby abattoirs,” Mr Bills said.
“The aggregation ideally suits farm build-up and the opportunity to secure some of the best cropping land in South Australia,’ Mr Schell added.
