Introducing 'Many Rivers' a magnificent 4885-acre farming opportunity offered for sale after generations of ownership by one family and successfully operated as the Many Rivers Pastoral Company.

Key features:

Location

The property is located in the Granite Belt area in the headwaters of the Clarence River valley at the conjunction of the Maryland River and the Boonoo Boonoo River. 'Many Rivers' is approximately 75km north east of Tenterfield, 40km east of Stanthorpe, 82km south of Warwick and 236km south west of Brisbane.

Area

The total area is 1977.22Ha or 4885.83 acres.
The property consists of 12 allotments.

Carrying Capacity

The property is currently utilized as a commercial Hereford beef grazing property with an estimated carrying capacity for the property of between 300 -320 breeders depending upon management practices.
The current owner has carried out extensive pasture improvement practices with the inclusion of Rhodes grass and the legume Siratro into 40% of the pastures. The inclusion of the improved pastures compliments the current natural grasses and legumes and with further improved pastures the carrying capacity could be increased.
Both the cleared flats and the timbered hills are extensively grazed with the owner achieving greater growth with heifers or dry cattle on the steeper country and the breeding stock on the flatter cleared grasslands. Although the majority of cattle tend to gather on the higher parts of the property in the colder months for the warmth and protection.

Cropping

Cropping has been previously carried out during the Clark family ownership. This has included cultivation of predominantly riverbank land for Lucerne production, vegetable growing including tomatoes and watermelons along with a large amount of pasture improvement as previously mentioned.

Housing

The property contains a large four-bedroom home, with two bathrooms. The home was built with timber from the property and is structurally sound with hardwood framing and beautiful silky oak fixtures. The home has a large open plan kitchen and dining area and a large rumpus or games room. The home contains a wood heater and air-conditioning along with the two recently renovated bathrooms.

There is a 5kw solar system attached to the home along with approximately 60,000 litres of tank water. The home is also connected to river water if required.
The home has mains power connection with a detached two car garage and the home is located on the eastern side of the property adjacent to the intersection of Razorback Creek Road and Rivertree Road.

All yards are accessible either by semi trailer or body truck with two sets of yards containing G Force yards and all yards have water supplied for livestock
