THE Satchell family is expecting offers of more than $55 million for its 2,654-hectare grazing and farming property Yambla Station, in NSW’s Riverina region.
Located 36 kilometres south of Holbrook, the property has a carrying capacity of more than 30,000 dry equivalent and has been run to 9,500 Merino ewes crossed with Dorset rams and followers, 150 breeding cows and 250 backgrounders.
Around 400 hectares is currently cropped and 690 hectares is sown to permanent pastures.
A family partnership of Hugh, John and Rosemary Satchell has owned Yambla Station since 1987. They have focused on increasing productivity through water development, fencing and pasture improvement, as well as significant fertiliser application.
“Yambla Station represents significant scale in a reliable climate,” said selling agent Sam Triggs of Inglis Rural Property.
“It’s an excellent defensive asset due to its high rainfall and proximity to Albury and Melbourne.”
Multiple natural water resources include a network of 51 mostly spring-fed dams, and has extensive double frontage to the permanent Daly, Yambla and Table Top Creeks that run through the property.
Improvements include modern infrastructure and centrally located cattle and sheep processing facilities such as a five-stand raised-board shearing shed, undercover sheep yards, cattle yards, containment yards and abundant grain and fodder storage, and a developed laneway system allowing streamlined management. Shedding consists of two machinery sheds, two workshops and a large hay shed. There is 420 tonnes of silo storage.
Yambla boasts an expansive, architecturally designed five-bedroom homestead positioned on an elevated site enjoying commanding views to the north and east. It was built by the Satchell family in 1989.
There is also a second significant fully-renovated four-bedroom residence with verandah, deck, garage, established lawns and mature gardens.
Expressions of interest close 16th November.
