Area - 1,378.76 Hectares | 3,407 Acres Lot 1012 DP785453; Lot 10 DP1041932
• "Barrington Park" is a well maintained and extremely well set up beef cattle and sheep enterprise nestled in the renowned Liverpool Plains. It is centrally located, 33km to Quirindi, 83km to Gunnedah, 90km to Tamworth and 4 ¼ hours to Sydney.
• Comprising of versatile and productive arable soils -ranging from self-mulching chocolate basalts on the flats to red basalts with some lighter stony sections on the pine ridge. The prime farming land of 536 ha occurs on the East and West sides of the property. There is a further 314 ha of farming and grazing land -total arable of 850 ha. The balance of the property (536 ha) is utilised for grazing and is located at the centre of the property.
• Exceptional working infrastructure with a secure renewed water management system that draws from three major bores (and generates sufficient for approximately 3x estimated maximum water usage) with over 860,000 litres of water storage reticulating to covered tanks and troughs. Stock always have access to clean cool water. • 638 mm annual rainfall.
• Over the past 5 years fencing has been almost fully renewed, new cattle yards built; new sheep yards built; water reticulation whole of farm renewed; shearing shed renovated; roads upgraded;pump and solar equipment replaced; houses upgraded.
• There are two well maintained and presented homesteads on "Barrington Park", one with a large entertainer's courtyard and tennis court. There is also a cottage that could easily be put on the market as a short-term rental property (Airbnb).
• There are two sets of cattle and sheep yards, a newly renovated shearing shed, large workshop,undercover horse complex, a series of silos and of hay and storage sheds.
• The property is fenced into over 50 paddocks with fencing in excellent condition with a majority electrified. Paddocks linked by laneways for ease of stock movement;
• There is a good scattering of trees including Kurrajong, apple box, stringy bark & some pine trees.The property is however mostly cleared providing excellent opportunity for the pasture improvement that has taken place over the years of ownership.
• The property has run for the past 12 months 1,700 Merino breeding ewes. These provide wool and are bred to Border Leicester rams producing quality first cross lambs. In addition to the sheep enterprise, there are currently 400 cows in a trading operation. The lot feeding capacity has not been utilised as yet.
Currently there is:
- 294 ha (726 ac) sown to dual purpose wheat.
- 234 ha (578 ac) of winter grazing cover crop (wheat or oats under-sown with arrowleaf clover, Persian clover, forage brassica, daikon radish, turnip, vetch and field peas).
• In addition to that grazing capacity, there is also established permanent pasture of Premier digit sub tropicals of a further 145 ha (358 ac). The Premier digit is highly productive (high protein and resilient) and grazed from Sept/Oct through to May
• 67 ha (165 ac) that, at the time of preparation of the information memorandum, was planned to be sown down with summer grazing crop of millet (3 varieties for progressive germination), mung beans, plantain, chicory, rape, cowpea and buckwheat.
While the current owners operated a mixed farming operation (fat lambs, wool, cattle and cash crops) the country would suit a part or full cattle trading or breeding operation (which is more usual in this area) combined with cropping.
• Fodder for the sheep and cattle has been provided by a combination of dual-purpose crops (currently there is 280 ha of dual-purpose wheat), winter cover crops (includes brassicas, turnips, legumes and oats), stands of Premier digit grass (subtropicals) and native pastures.
The property has been run conservatively stocked and includes merino ewes crossed with Border Leicester rams delivering a quality first cross prime lamb (and wool). A mains connected hotwire backbone has been installed to allow high intensity cell grazing. There are more than 50 new or refurbished concrete troughs (at least one per paddock) for both sheep and cattle.
The combination of the topography, soil types, fertility readings and water are in first class order and present a wonderful opportunity for the new owners to increase the carrying capacity.
• "Barrington Park" is a property that has been very well managed, has had extensive capital works completed and has been conservatively stocked. It is a prime example of an exceptional property on the Liverpool Plains.
