This portion of what was once a larger holding, has been family held since 1907 and an extremely rare opportunity to purchase this well maintained and well appointed grazing property now arises.

‘Nolan’s’ is a well established and extremely well maintained grazing property with the ability to run some 100 breeders or to finish cattle on feed with high quality black soil creek flats. Most cultivation has become fairly well established with pasture but can easily be reworked or simply left as is. The property is relatively weed free with a lot of weed control completed over recent years. Completely destocked in late June, for the sole purpose of selling the property on September 15 by Public Auction (if not sold prior), a huge body of dry feed currently exists with Clover and Herbage underneath with a lot of green shoot down in the Rhodes and Paspalum, all waiting for the impending warmer weather.

Your inspection is invited for those looking of a top quality parcel of solid and reliable low maintenance grazing country close to Brisbane and Toowoomba.
