Angledool Station has long been regarded as one of the best examples of a large scale mixed farming enterprise in far western NSW. Substantial flood plain soils enhanced by a unique lake-bed farming opportunity provides a great background for low cost farming and grazing. Good water in the form of long frontage to the Narran River and a cap and piped bore scheme, under construction throughout the property, can cater for approximately 1000 breeders which the property is capable of carrying. These features plus good access via the Castlereagh Highway all help provide Angledool Station with sound economic productivity and a base for further development into the future.
