Colliers Agribusiness is thrilled to announce the once-in-a-lifetime sale of three pristine islands nestled at the mouth of the River Murray within the Australian Ramsar Wetland Site.

Mundoo Island Station is a working cattle and sheep station with a treasured history owned by the same family since 1922. The property offers immense privacy, only a 1.5-hours’ drive south of Adelaide and minutes from Goolwa and the stunning South Coast on the Fleurieu Peninisula, one of South Australia’s most popular coastal holiday destinations.

Tim Altschwager, Colliers Agribusiness, said, “We’re delighted to offer this unique landholding for sale. Mundoo Island, Ewe Island, and Long Island represent unparalleled opportunities for ecotourism, natural capital investment, and responsible development.”
