This expansive rural property encompasses approximately 1,462 hectares (3,613 acres) situated 33 kilometers south of Inverell and 16 kilometers north of Bundarra. Historically operated as a cow and calf breeding and backgrounding enterprise, the land offers a diverse agricultural opportunity.

The property features significant improvements including a two-story double brick homestead with four bedrooms, complemented by a separate four-bedroom cottage. The main homestead enjoys a picturesque setting overlooking a large storage dam, providing a tranquil environment ideal for recreational activities such as water skiing, kayaking, and fishing. Conveniently, the homestead is well positioned with access to school bus and mail delivery services.

Infrastructure on the property is comprehensive and well maintained. It includes two sets of steel cattle yards with a central laneway system, a large steel frame hay shed with an attached skillion bay, and two machinery sheds equipped with a workshop and additional storage for plant and equipment. Adjacent to the main homestead is a fully self-contained flat located above the main workshop area and an office. The main shed benefits from three-phase power and a commercial cool-room, supporting various operational needs.

Water security is a notable feature of this property, supported by three water licenses and a substantial storage dam with an approximate capacity of 1,500 megaliters. The water access licenses consist of two unregulated river licenses of 100ML and 75ML respectively, along with a 4.5ML stock and domestic license. The combination of these licenses and the storage dam, which benefits from overland flow, presents an efficient opportunity for irrigation development. Additionally, three-phase power is connected to the shedding near the dam. The property also includes numerous stock watering dams and frontage to Sandy Creek, enhancing water availability for livestock.

The land is well fenced and divided into 25 main paddocks, with fencing in good condition comprising a mixture of timber and steel posts, barb wire, plain wire, and ringlock.

Approximately 365 hectares (901 acres) of the property is suitable for fodder production and improved pastures, supporting diverse agricultural activities. The area receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 812 millimeters, and the elevation is around 762 meters.
