NORTH Queensland cattle property Ophir Downs is a 9631 hectare (23,788 acre) Grazing Homestead Perpetual Lease, centrally located at Stamford, between Hughenden and Richmond.
Offered by the Georgetown-based Pedracini family, the property is described as "fairly clean" undulating to flat downs country with black soils and some pebbly ridge country.
There is some scattered prickly acacia with mimosa along the channels and around the water points.
Pastures include Mitchell, Flinders grasses plus pig weed, peabush, some buffel and various herbages.
Improvements include good cattle yards, an old house, machinery sheds and workshop.
Water is sourced from a capped bore installed in 2010 that supplies a turkey's nest and tanks, which gravity feed to troughs across the property.
Ophir Downs is divided in seven main paddocks with laneways plus four holding paddocks.
There is some new fencing with the balance in a sound condition.
The property is about 15km off the Flinders Highway - 96km from Hughenden and 46km from Richmond.
Marketing agent Peter MacPherson, Queensland Rural, said the property was currently destocked, which had enabled the grasses and the seedbank to strongly recover.
Ophir Downs will be auctioned by Queensland Rural in Charters Towers on April 13.
Offers received prior to auction would be considered, Mr MacPherson said.
