Agents are confident a buyer will be happy to pay more than $500 an acre for a large mixed farming opportunity north of Kimba.
The Holders Boundary property comprises 3415 hectares (8438 acres) on the Eyre Peninsula.
Using the agents' estimate, bidding for the property is expected to start at just over $4 million in total.

More than 7600 acres of the property is considered arable.
It represents an excellent opportunity to conduct a large mixed farming operation on the Eyre Peninsula.
This large holding features a two-storey, double brick homestead.
