Wilga

Large conservation and grazing property with Horton River frontage

Wilga is located centrally between the major regional towns of Moree, Inverell and Narrabri, and is approximately 25 minutes’ drive to the township of Bingara. Regional airports at Moree, Inverell and Narrabri service flights to and from Sydney and Brisbane.

The property has Horton River frontage and comprises approximately 1,016 hectares dedicated to conservation. The remaining farmland comprises approximately 339 hectares of mixed open and timbered grazing with potential for dryland farming plus irrigated cropping.

Wilga is fenced into 8 paddocks and is considered well-watered with 8 surface dams, two Water Access Licences (totalling 125 megalitres per year) and long-term average rainfall of 740.6 millimetres per annum.

Infrastructure includes a 90m² steel-framed machinery shed with power connected, 43m² steel-framed hay shed and timber cattle yards with loading ramp. The cottage is a renovator’s project that requires some work, or a new dwelling is permissible (STCA).

The conservation area on Wilga supports a range of important habitat features including rocky areas and hollow bearing trees that represent suitable breeding habitat for a range of fauna species, including 2 threatened bird species recorded onsite by the BCT.

Wilga would suit a local grazier as an add-on block and is also suitable as a start-up block for a new enterprise.

Annual funding is available for conservation management actions within the conservation area.

If you are looking to buy a NSW property like Wilga, or any rural real estate in NSW for your own rural conservation-agricultural property, perhaps you will consider a piece of rural land that also plays host to many native plants and animals. All NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust rural properties for sale have been identified as important for their natural value and are sold with a conservation agreement in place.
