A Rare Southern Tablelands Holding | 539.54 hectares | 1,333 acres | Expressions of Interest

Offered to the market for the first time in 120 years, Verana presents a rare opportunity to acquire a significant rural holding in the tightly held Narrawa district of the Southern Tablelands.

Comprising 539.54 hectares (1,333 acres), the property combines productive red basalt country, fertile creek flats, established pastures, extensive water resources and substantial working infrastructure, creating a versatile agricultural holding suited to wool, fat lamb and cattle production.

The country features a diverse mix of highly productive red basalt soils, granite and loam country, fertile creek flats and gently undulating grazing land, complemented by areas suitable for cultivation, pasture improvement and fodder production. With annual rainfall of approximately 700-800mm, Verana offers a well-balanced production platform supported by established pastures and well-distributed stock water.

Water is a defining feature of the property, with frontage to both the Crookwell River and Burrawinda Creek, together with 10 dams, a natural spring supplying the house gardens and stock troughs and substantial rainwater storage servicing the residence and shearing shed.

Established working improvements include a substantial four-stand raised-board shearing shed, adjoining sheep and cattle yards, a two-bay machinery shed, grain silo and associated farm infrastructure, providing a practical foundation for ongoing agricultural operations.

The existing residence is a character 1940s double-brick country home comprising three bedrooms and two bathrooms, set within an established garden and enjoying attractive northerly and westerly views. Approximately 100 metres away, the foundations of the original early-1900s homestead remain among mature trees in an elevated position with expansive northerly and easterly views. Subject to the necessary planning approvals, this historic setting offers potential for a future principal residence.

Beyond its productive capacity, Verana holds a remarkable pastoral history, with documented connections to the historic Wheeo Estate dating to 1906. Acquired by John Fraser Rodgers that year, the holding remained within the Rodgers and Kelly families across generations, preserving remarkable continuity of family with the Verana property.

Conveniently located approximately 30 minutes from Crookwell, 60 minutes from Goulburn, 90 minutes from Canberra and around three hours from Sydney, Verana combines rural privacy and scale with practical access to regional centres and agricultural services.

Rarely does a property of this scale, productivity, water security, infrastructure and historical significance become available in the tightly held Narrawa district.

'Verana' represents an opportunity to acquire a substantial Southern Tablelands grazing property and become part of its continuing story.
