'Lorna Doone'
1,257 Acres | Flexible Purchase Options | Proven Mixed Farming Country
Offered as a whole or in two separate holdings
Comprising two adjoining properties - "Lorna Doone" (836 acres) and "Prairie Vale" (421 acres) - this 1,257-acre holding offers flexibility rarely seen in offerings of this calibre, with the option to acquire individually or as a complete aggregation.
Positioned at the base of a surrounding mountain range (not included in the holding), the property benefits from natural elevation and catchment advantages while maintaining entirely usable and productive country.
Located south-east of Forbes via Henry Lawson Way toward Grenfell, the Lorna Doone aggregation presents a rare opportunity to secure scale, versatility and long-term productivity in the tightly held Central West.
Currently operated as a livestock-focused enterprise, the property is well-balanced with approximately 80-85% arable country, supporting both grazing and cropping programs. Around 500 acres are cropped annually, including fodder production, underpinned by a consistent and considered improvement program.
Recent enhancements include:
- Structured fertiliser application across the holding
- 119 hectares limed
- 35.5 hectares pasture improved with lucerne and clover
- Substantial fencing upgrades throughout
- Share farm agreement in place for current cropping, with the vendor's portion to be included in the sale
Water security is a defining feature, with a reliable network of dams supported by natural catchment and thoughtfully implemented earthworks - designed to maximise runoff and retention across the property.
At the heart of "Lorna Doone" sits a comfortable three-bedroom weatherboard homestead, complete with wraparound verandah, two living areas, split-system air conditioning and wood heating. Set amongst established gardens, the home enjoys a peaceful rural setting with a naturally sheltered aspect and access to reliable water flow across the landscape.
Additional improvements include:
- Multiple machinery sheds
- 1 flat-bottom silo
- 3-stand shearing shed with steel sheep yards
- Workshop facilities
- Majority new internal fencing (with some original boundary fencing)
Whether you're seeking a turnkey mixed farming enterprise, a strategic expansion, or the flexibility to secure land in stages, Lorna Doone offers scale, productivity and optionality in one compelling package.
