"Stony Batter" Reliable Beef Grazing with Exceptional Water

Comprising 3,970 acres, 'Stony Batter' has been strategically developed to maximize management efficiencies for the operation of a self-replacing beef herd. Ideally positioned with convenient access to major saleyards, abattoirs, and feedlots, the property is located just 21 km from Bundarra, 65 km from Armidale, 67 km from Inverell, and 115 km from Tamworth, with the added advantage of bitumen road frontage.

A standout feature of 'Stony Batter' is its superior water security. The property benefits from multiple water sources, including 6.8 km of reliable Gwydir River frontage, equipped with a solar-powered reticulation system feeding a network of troughs. Additional water supply comes from Camerons Creek, Back Creek, and substantial storage dams, with a 16 megalitre water licence included in the sale.

The property is divided into 37 main paddocks, specifically designed to support an efficient rotational grazing system. The fencing is in good condition, with a large percentage renewed in recent years. Multiple road access points across the property ensure efficient access for mustering and internal movement. A pasture improvement program has seen select paddocks planted with annual Oats, followed by the establishment of perennial subtropical pasture species and clovers.

The infrastructure on 'Stony Batter' is more than adequate to meet operational needs. The original homestead, built circa 1887, is a spacious and comfortable four-bedroom residence with an ensuite, family room, and an open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area. Additional housing includes a four-bedroom manager's residence and three cottages. The property is well-equipped with two sets of cattle yards. The main yards are centrally located and offer substantial working capacity, trough water, truck access, a V-race, and an undercover vet crush with scales.

Storage facilities include a four-bay machinery shed, a modern hay shed measuring 24m x 10m, and two silos. Additionally, the original 8-stand woolshed, dating back to circa 1907, is currently inactive but retains the capacity for operational use if required.

Offered for genuine sale, 'Stony Batter' provides a stand alone scale with great potential for new management to further drive the levels of grazing production.
