Stuck. That’s how most of our clients describe starting a succession planning conversation with the rest of the family. Succession planning is an emotional topic with each generation coming at it from a different perspective which can make it difficult to get the process of planning started.

Littlebrook” is approximately 450 hectares and located 25 minutes south-west of the cherry capital of New South Wales, Young. 

Selling agent from LJ Hooker in Young Christian Rowan said the property became available for the first time in ten years because of a change in direction from the vendors. 

“It’s usually a tightly held area,” he said. “We had very strong interest from local and interstate buyers but it was a neighbour purchasing the property,” he said. 

Mr Rowan said he was unable to disclose the price of the sale but added “it was a record for the area.” 

The property is currently run as a fattening & cropping operation. 

“Littlebrook is a superb rural holding suitable to a range of agricultural pursuits including prime lamb, prime beef and wool enterprises in addition to cereal, legume and oilseed production. It was basically a bare block with the owners doing all the improvements to the property. The current owners were originally from Geelong in Victoria when they purchased the property and have spent the past decade turning it into a stunning parcel of land.”
