'MESSINES' - Value Breeding Country with Rainfall and Modern Living 1611ac
This well-balanced rural holding represents an outstanding opportunity to secure productive livestock breeding country at genuine value, with the added benefit of a modern, comfortable homestead and strong infrastructure already in place. Situated on the northeastern side of Barraba with a strong rainfall of approx. 30inches.
The property is well suited to a profitable breeding operation, featuring a sound mix of productive grazing country complemented by areas of arable pasture and cropping land. These improved and cultivatable areas provide excellent scope for fattening progeny on-farm, reducing turn-off time and enhancing overall enterprise profitability. With further pasture improvement and grazing management, the property offers clear potential to lift carrying capacity and increase livestock output.
The land presents in well-maintained condition and is laid out for efficient stock movement and management, making it ideal for cattle breeding, backgrounding, or a mixed grazing program. A strong network of water troughs throughout all 11 paddocks.
Infrastructure is well established for livestock operations and includes cattle yards with loading ramp, multiple paddocks, fencing suited to breeding stock, and additional sheds. The property is well set up to operate immediately, while still offering scope for further development to maximise production.
Complementing the commercial appeal is a modern, country-style residence offering comfortable family accommodation. Built in 2019, the two-storey home features five bedrooms, three bathrooms, open-plan living areas, walk-in robe to the main bedroom, butler’s pantry, and year-round climate control. Outdoor living spaces overlook the surrounding countryside, providing a relaxed lifestyle without compromising the operational efficiency of the enterprise.
Located within easy reach of picturesque and safe township of Barraba, this property combines productive country, breeding and fattening flexibility, strong infrastructure, and lifestyle comfort — making it an ideal acquisition for buyers seeking a profitable livestock breeding operation with genuine upside and long-term value.
