The Rodda family is auctioning their Mid North property at Pekina in South Australia this spring.
Gum View Hills across 867 hectares (2142 acres) will be offered at the Jamestown Football Clubrooms at 2pm on Thursday, October 5.
Agents from Ray White said the family's offering presents an ideal opportunity for a genuine mixed farming property with a blend of productive cropping land and timbered hills grazing.
"The property must be sold," agents said.
The new owner will enjoy the benefits of the family's big fence program over the past eight years with an estimated 80 per cent of fencing replaced.
The Rodda family has successfully run and managed a mixed farming enterprise of rotational cropping and livestock at Pekina, which is about 40km north of Jamestown.
The property's annual average rainfall is around 400-425mm.
Gum View Hills' arable country (350ha, 866 acres) is said to be well set up for a continuous cropping program with a no-till cropping system and sound agronomic practices over a long period of time
The balance of the property is hills grazing land in good heart with an abundance of native grasses and clovers along with timbered areas providing stock shelter.
Livestock water is secured through two equipped bores
Improvements include multiple sheep yards, machinery and hay shedding.
