Premier operation on market

A tightly-held parcel in one of Queensland’s most productive farming districts is for sale as demand increases for properties with reliable water access.

Acacia, strategically positioned along the Dawson River in Queensland’s highly sought-after Theodore region, operates as an integrated beef production and irrigation farming enterprise across 1076.4 hectares (including 89.0-hectare special lease).

JLL Agribusiness directors Geoff Warriner and Clayton Smith, with sales executive Fergus Russell, are managing the auction campaign for this property.

“This extensively developed operation offers investors either a turnkey standalone business or strategic integration opportunity for existing supply chains, delivering valuable protection against seasonal volatility,“ Mr Warriner said.

“The Theodore district’s exceptional land quality and soil diversity have established it as one of Queensland’s most productive and tightly held farming areas.“

The property’s water security provides a significant competitive advantage.

“Substantial water allocations – well above district averages – ensure consistent production capacity regardless of seasonal variations,“ Mr Warriner said.

The operation features more than 216 hectares of irrigated Leucaena supporting grazing activities, while cropping areas accommodate diverse summer and winter plantings including forage crops, cereals, and cotton.

“Considerable capital investment in irrigation systems for Leucaena production and livestock handling infrastructure has optimised operational efficiency while reducing labour requirements,” Mr Warriner said.

Located about 15 kilometres south of Theodore along the sealed Eidsvold-Theodore Road, Acacia provides convenient access to Rockhampton (180 kilometres northeast) and Dalby (260 kilometres south).

The property’s Theodore proximity ensures excellent connectivity to major transport corridors and key-end markets across northern, eastern and southern regions.

Land classification breakdown
