The NSW Landmark Harcourts team is pleased to be offering Mirage Plains, a significant rural property aggregation with links to R.M. Williams, the iconic brand with household name status in rural Australia.
Mirage Plains – totaling 43,000ha of prime organic farming and livestock land near Cunnumulla in South Western Queensland – is listed on behalf of R.M. Williams Agricultural Holdings, an innovative company focused on food production, alternative energy solutions, organic land management, and land restoration programs.
R.M. Williams was established in 1932 and has developed a loyal following both here and internationally as a bush outfitter with a strong association to Australia’s national identity and outback heritage.
It’s a natural progression for the brand to diversify into publishing and agricultural production with a focus on sustainability.
According to Phil Rourke, Landmark Harcourts NSW Real Estate Manager, this property has all the hallmarks of having been operated with strong commercial and environmental responsibility.
“Mirage Plains is an aggregation of six properties which have achieved organic certification of compliance for the production of cattle, cereal, grains, hay, lamb, legumes, soya beans and wheat,” explained Phil. “They have been used to produce organic grains that supply the Inglewood Farms to support its organic poultry production operations.”
“Mirage Plains has a good balance of country ranging from arable country along the Warrego River which has been developed for pivot irrigation, treeless open plains, natural grazing country with a good cover of Mitchell grass and red grass, plus a flood-out country at Mowellan to the west which acts as a refuge for livestock during periods of flood.”
The uniqueness of Mirage Plains is contained within its natural topography. Irrigation water sourced from the Warrego River to the north of the property can be gravity fed to all the existing and potential irrigation developments.
The property has improved the farming economics and water efficiency through the installation of six pivot circles, with each 80 hectares of cultivation.
The properties are for sale by Expression of Interest for purchase individually or as a whole, including the 32,800ML Warrego River Licence.
“The large allocation of water available to purchase with the property offers the opportunity to further unlock its irrigation potential,” added Phil.
Significant water entitlements, Warrego River frontage, freehold titles, organic accreditation and economy of scale all add up to Mirage Plains being a most impressive development opportunity.
