Overview

261 Krugers Road Chinchilla QLD 4413

This highly productive 1,345-acre agricultural property, located 26 kilometres northwest of Chinchilla, presents an exceptional opportunity for cattle operations. Centrally positioned between Queensland's major cattle selling centres of Dalby and Roma Saleyards, it offers convenient access to key markets and logistics hubs. Situated in the heart of the Darling Downs grain growing region, the property benefits from close proximity to grains and feed commodities, with road train access to the feedlot.

The land spans 1,345 acres of fertile terrain featuring Belah, Brigalow, Box, and Wilga country, supporting over 800 acres of cultivation primarily on grey loamy soil. It includes 80 acres of Rhodes grass and 720 acres of fallow ground, ready for winter forage crops. The property can background over 600 head of cattle at a time, with two rotations annually.

Water security is a standout feature, with two bores over 380 meters deep, each capable of producing 8,000 gallons per hour. These feed into five 5,000-gallon tanks supplying water to the feedlot and troughs across every paddock. The property holds a 30 ML seasonal water assignment with stock intensive water entitlement. A 65-megalitre dam provides water to the entire property, supported by five additional dams and semi-permanent waterholes in the creek. Two creeks run through the property, ensuring reliable water supply.

The feedlot is licensed for 1,000 standard cattle units (SCU), with approved development plans for expansion to 3,000 SCU and potentially up to 4,500 SCU. Currently, the feedlot comfortably handles over 3,000 head. It includes 13 pens equipped with feed bunks, water troughs, and shade sail posts. Laneways connect each pen to the yards, which feature a 500-head yard facility, three silt ponds, and the 65-megalitre dam enhancing operational efficiency.

Extensive infrastructure supports the operation, including a new feedmill equipped with a Renn Rollermill (15-30 tons per hour), three 50-ton silos, machinery storage, feed shed, shade areas, and commodity bunks. The feedlot has new fencing, gateways, and cattle rail stays.

Manure and soil fertility management is well maintained, with 5,000 tonnes of manure recently spread across the property and an additional 3,000 tonnes stacked and ready for future application. Feedlot ponds provide slurry that can be utilized on cultivation, supplying essential nutrients and nitrogen to enhance fodder crop productivity.

The property includes a recently renovated two-bedroom timber house with a carport, verandah, and air conditioning. The house benefits from 8,500 gallons of water storage and significant improvements such as new tanks, gutters, and renovated foundations to ensure excellent drainage.

Fencing consists of near-new 4 or 5 barb boundary fencing, dividing the property into seven paddocks, each equipped with a water source and double-gate gateways for ease of livestock and machinery movement. New roads have been surfaced and graded for all-weather access, with paddock tracks and fire breaks recently graded. Cattle panels have been installed over 600 metres, along with new feed bunks and two kilometres of water piping in the feedlot.

Additional features include electricity supplying power directly to the house and feedlot, upgraded yards with four new pens, a new "Crows Nest" pound drafting system, a new four-way drafting system from the crush, and two new ramps for handling road trains and facilitating loading and unloading of machinery. The property also contains a newly operational gravel pit with over 5,000 tonnes of gravel available.

This property offers an excellent combination of land for cultivation, top-tier infrastructure, and water security to support intensive cattle operations and cropping. With significant feedlot capacity, robust water systems, and well-maintained infrastructure, it represents a premium opportunity for investors or operators looking to expand their agricultural operations.
