Sale price: More than $13 million
More than two-thirds of a major Goulburn Valley farmland portfolio has changed hands, with buyers snapping up high-quality irrigated assets worth more than $13 million, with strong interest mounting for the four remaining properties.
The 1,858ha KAF Portfolio, offered by Kilter Rural via LAWD and Kevin Hicks Real Estate, drew multiple offers through an expressions of interest campaign launched late last year.
The full portfolio consisted of an amalgamation of 12 properties across four aggregations known as Northern (520ha), Eastern (431ha), Southern (610ha) and Central (297ha).
Eight of the 12 properties have now either sold or are under offer, with the rest being marketed by private treaty.
LAWD Sales Executive Patrick Kerr said demand had been driven by water security and infrastructure already in place.
“The sale prices already achieved on properties within the KAF Portfolio are an excellent indication of the appetite from buyers to acquire additional land where there is guaranteed water security and well-established assets,” Mr Kerr said.
“Buyers have come from a combination of local farming families, as well as farming groups from other regions in Victoria, and we expect to see that trend continue with the remaining parcels of land.”
Among the properties still on the market are ‘Morgans’ (193ha) and ‘Butler’s’ (114ha) at Girgarre, which are expected to sell for $2.5 million and $1.8 million respectively.
Also for sale is the 464ha ‘Rendell Dairy’ with pivot irrigators and upgraded infrastructure, tipped to fetch more than $5.5 million, and ‘Pykes’, a 227ha block near Tongala featuring sub-surface drip irrigation and a 250ML dam, with expectations of $3.4 million.
Kilter Rural’s General Manager Farmland, Angus Ingram, said their capital investment strategy has driven both productivity and sustainability.
“Our significant capital expenditure program at the KAF Portfolio has focused on boosting efficiency and sustainability,” Mr Ingram said.
“When combined with sound crop rotation and agronomy, these upgrades delivered world-class average field yields, such as 9.2 tonnes per hectare for H2 wheat, 20.5t/ha for maize grain, and 4.5t/ha for canola on our drip tape fields.
“Beyond its agricultural strengths, it boasts proximity to regional centres for logistical support.”

Marketed as one of the “significant offerings” of 2025, the Tara Moira Aggregation in NSW’s Trundle district has officially hit the market, offering a rare opportunity to secure scale, versatility and productivity in the Central West.
Assembled by the Watt family over the past 70 years, the aggregation is the largest contiguous holding in the district and is renowned for its performance as a mixed farming enterprise.
A key highlight is a modern 4,000-head lamb feedlot, established in 2017, which turns off up to 19,500 lambs annually.
The property is also over 95% arable, with red loam soils that have benefited from decades of fertiliser application, lime treatment and feedlot manure.
It consistently produces high-yielding winter cereals, pulses and oilseeds, both for feed and market.
A centralised laneway system connects the entire holding and enables efficient stock and machinery movement, complemented by high-quality fencing and infrastructure.
The property is well watered via three large dams and a bore, with critical water security proven during the 2017–2019 drought years.
Supporting infrastructure includes two four-stand shearing sheds, four sets of sheep yards, machinery sheds, workshops, and grain storage facilities with 1,900 tonnes of silo space and a 3,000-tonne bulk shed.
The main homestead is a four-bedroom residence with a modern kitchen, tennis court, and established gardens.
Three additional homes are located across the aggregation, two of which are leased.
The 2025 planting program includes 791ha of canola, 1,709ha of wheat, 616ha of barley and 215ha of lupins.
All growing crops are included in the sale.
Two nearby leased properties are also available for purchase, though not contingent on this sale.
Coming to market as part of retirement plans, Tara Moira Aggregation is being offered for genuine sale and is expected to draw significant interest from serious agricultural buyers.

A large-scale commercial table grape enterprise in Koorlong, Victoria, has hit the market, offering a rare opportunity to step into a turnkey horticulture operation with export reach.
Located at 3784 Walnut Ave, the 64.31ha property – known as 888 Produce – includes 52.1ha planted to premium table grape varieties, alongside extensive infrastructure and modern facilities.
The family-owned business has been trading for more than 30 years.
CBRE’s Angus Bills and James Auty are managing the sale via an expressions of interest campaign, with plant and equipment also available by negotiation.
“888 Produce has been trading in excess of 30 years and offers a genuine turnkey opportunity to enter the table grape industry at scale with sought-after plantings, enabling an incoming purchaser the benefit of instant production and penetration to export markets,” Mr Bills said.
“The property’s location means it also benefits from early harvesting, capturing optimum pricing for domestic and export markets.”
The vineyard includes plantings of Ralli Seedless (8.9ha), Midnight Beauty (3.2ha), Sweet Globe (20.3ha), Sweet Sapphire (9.4ha), Autumn Crisp (3.1ha), and Bebop (7.2ha), spread across three titles.
Infrastructure includes workers’ accommodation for 25 people, three machinery sheds, a site office, packing and storage facilities, four cool rooms (576sq m), a fumigation area (98sq m), and dam storage of 35ML supported by Lower Murray Water’s Benetook system.
“Due to the family’s reputation of producing high-quality grapes, they currently have an exclusive licensing and marketing agreement with Bloom Fresh,” Mr Auty said.

Location: South Burnett, Queensland

A large-scale grazing opportunity with established bloodlines, quality infrastructure and water security is now on the market in Queensland’s sought-after South Burnett region.
The 1,072ha West Barambah Aggregation spans three adjoining holdings — West Barambah (761ha), Cow Paddock (111ha), and Rawlings (200ha) — and is being offered in one line or as separate assets.
Estimated to carry 550 adult equivalents, the aggregation has been modestly stocked over the past decade with an average of 350 breeders, yielding a long-term weaning rate of 85%.
Bulls are run at around 3% of the breeding herd.
The current Santa Gertrudis herd — available for purchase — carries genetics from Eidsvold Station, Rosevale, and Gyrandra.
Water is a standout feature, with dual frontage to Barambah Creek, five catchment dams, permanent and semi-permanent waterholes, and a water licence for potential irrigation.
The region also has a reliable 764mm annual rainfall.
More than 87% of the property is cleared and developed, with a mix of improved and native pastures over varied soils.
Internally, the aggregation is fenced into 12 main paddocks with a laneway system supporting smooth operations.
Improvements include the four-bedroom West Barambah homestead, a detached two-car garage, 283sq m machinery shed, in-paddock holding yards, and two cattle yards with full vet, drafting and loading facilities.
“I think we’ll see a buying pool from high-net-worth individuals looking for acreage lifestyle opportunities, or western producers seeking to retire and downsize operations,” LAWD Director Grant Veivers said.
“The quality line of Santa breeders that can be bought as part of the transaction also adds a real value proposition to a prospective buyer.”
Expressions of Interest close 12pm (AEST) on July 3.
