UPDATE – Kintilloch sold prior to auction.
GORDON and Jenny Fawckner have decided the time is right to sell their property Kintilloch and move on with the next chapter of their life.
Kintilloch is located 71km south west of Roma or 54km south of Muckadilla and has bitumen road to within 11km of the homestead.
Covering 7249-hectares (17,913 acres) in three freehold titles, Kintilloch will be auctioned by Ray White Rural in Brisbane on March 23.
The property has a wide mix of country giving it great diversity. There is about 2400ha of open black soil myall country which is predominately grassed with Mitchell, blue grass and natural pastures.
About 800ha has been previously cultivated and would be suitable to return to cultivation for fodder or grain crops. The balance of the country is highly fertile redish soils originally timbered with belah, brigalow, and box in the hollows and flats with harder bendee ridges. This country has mostly sandalwood regrowth and is heavily grassed with buffel grass in the improved areas.
Kintilloch is adequately watered by dams, holes in the Muckadilla Creek and two bores. One bore is set up with a fully automated system which pumps to a holding tank and then gravity feeds away to troughs.
The homestead which is set among established trees and gardens is a highset four bedroom timber home that has been recently renovated inside. There is a five bay steel machinery shed, workshop, stables and cattle yards. Fenced into 16 main paddocks the boundary fences are mostly good condition with the internal varying from new to old.
Kintilloch is run as a large scale cattle grazing operation which the vendors estimate to run 1500 backgrounder cattle or equivalent breeders. There is enormous opportunity for the buyer of Kintilloch to increase this carrying capacity through further timber and pasture development as well as the possibility of growing fodder crops for extra weight gains.
