One of South Australia's Premier Wool Growing Stations

Ray White Rural South Australia is proud to present 'Gilles Downs Station', a highly regarded pastoral holding ideally positioned with direct Eyre Highway frontage, less than one hour from both Port Augusta and Whyalla. Recognised as one of South Australia's premier wool growing pastoral properties, Gilles Downs Station has built a strong reputation for quality wool production, with its wool clip consistently ranking amongst the state's top pastoral performers.
Extending across approximately 47,400ha (117,125.4 acres)* of predominantly flat to gently undulating natural grazing country, the property features a strong established presence of bluebush and saltbush, complemented by native grasses and clovers. Scattered timber offers valuable shelter for livestock, while the rare benefit of SA mains water, together with multiple dams, provides an outstanding level of water security rarely seen in pastoral country.
