THE McIntosh family has ended 123 years of ownership of a mixed farming property in the NSW Northern Tablelands, with Clarevaulx Station selling to an interstate buyer for $32.775 million.
Located 10 kilometres north of Glen Innes, the 3,427-hectare station was passed in at auction in December for $31 million.
It is now in the hands of a Queensland farming family.
Clarevaulx comprises 1,550 hectares of open grazing land. It has run 24,000 dry sheep equivalents, and there is also 1,000 hectares of premium deep basalt and alluvial cultivation which grows high yielding crops of corn, soybean and cereal crop, and 1,000 hectares of gently undulating cultivation, suited to fodder cropping or further development.
The station is situated in a 901.5-millimetre annual average rainfall region and is well-watered by the Reddestone, Reedy and Five Mile Creeks, and reticulation.
Infrastructure includes a circa 1860s four-bedroom homestead that retains some period features, as well as a workshop, three large machinery sheds, 600 tonnes of grain storage, six-stand woolshed, two sets of sheep yards and two sets of cattle yards.
Ray White Rural’s Geoff Hayes managed the sale.
Clarevaulx was established by Captain Phillip Ditmas and is today spread across 99 freehold titles.
