Tulmur, Tranby and Owens Creek present a large-scale, low-cost breeding and fattening opportunity with reliable water access

A significant pastoral enterprise spanning more than 74,660 hectares in Queensland’s central west has been listed for sale, presenting an outstanding opportunity to acquire an efficient, low-cost breeding, backgrounding, and fattening operation.

Tulmur, Tranby and Owens Creek (the aggregation) comprises three freehold certificates of title and is strategically located approximately 100 kilometres south-west of Winton and 200 kilometres north-west of Longreach.

Geoff Warriner and Chris Holgar of JLL Agribusiness, together with Walter Cooper of Rural Property Livestock, have been appointed to manage the sale on behalf of the vendors via an Expressions of Interest (EOI) campaign.

Mr Warriner said the aggregation has been developed with a focus on operational efficiency and low overheads.

“The property benefits from fit-for-purpose operational infrastructure. This includes three sets of cattle yards with a capacity for 1000 to 1500 head, well-maintained fencing that divides the holding into 12 main paddocks, and additional holding paddocks and coolers,” he said.

“Stock water is reliably supplied via a network of surface dams and seasonal and semi-permanent waterholes along the Diamantina River and Williams Creek systems.”

Mr Holgar noted the versatility of the aggregation, underpinned by a diversity of land and soil types.

“This region is highly regarded for its capacity to support cattle, sheep meat and wool production,” he said.

“The aggregation features open Mitchell and Flinders grass downs to the east, transitioning into Gidyea woodlands and undulating hills, before giving way to the Diamantina River channels to the west, which support healthy stands of blue bush, buffel grass and a variety of seasonal pastures.”

Mr Cooper said the aggregation’s location enhances its appeal for logistics and market access.

“The property’s proximity to the Winton township and the Landsborough Highway provides streamlined access from the north and direct connections to key markets in the south and east,” he said.

“In addition to the infrastructure, the aggregation is supported by two established homestead complexes at Tulmur and Tranby, each designed to reduce stock movements and support on-site operations.

“Tulmur, Tranby and Owens Creek represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale, turn-key pastoral holding in one of Australia’s most proven beef-producing regions.”

Livestock and plant and equipment are also available to the successful purchaser via separate negotiation.

Tulmur, Tranby and Owens Creek (the aggregation) is offered for sale via Expression of Interest Closing Thursday, May 29 at 4pm (AEST).
