Ideal Backgrounding Country for Graziers. Situated 65km north of Warren, Carwell Station consists of 8071ha; a combination of 6,323ha (approx.) of grazing country combined with 1118 ha of semi developed farming country and 630ha of seasonally restrictive grazing country.
What sets Carwell Station apart is a mix of pasture species allowing solid conversion ratios. During the recent drought Carwell provided graziers from the Riverina and locally, the opportunity of “hedging”; backgrounding large numbers of ewes to replace diminishing flock numbers.
Carwell Station’s history shows it to be a tightly held property. This is due to the property’s commercial agricultural capabilities which the Nature Conservation Trust has also enjoyed during its ownership. Substantial income is being generated annually with the majority of these proceeds being returned back to the property in improved infrastructure.
Carwell’s size and divisional fencing allows spelling periods for the regeneration of native pastures, seeding up to 3 times per summer season ensuring a vigorous seed bank. With a 7.5km double frontage to Merri Merri Creek, the property enjoys both a cap and pipe watering system and an extensive open bore drain system off 3 free flowing bores.
In the ownership of the Nature Conservation Trust since 2008,Carwell has been managed to an exemplary standard continuing to carry sheep and cattle while improving infrastructure to allow minimal staffing as part of a low input standalone operation.
The original timber cottage stands testament to a bygone era alongside today’s modern three-bedroom brick homestead. This impressive country property also includes a manager’s residence, jackaroos’ quarters, 13-room shearers’ quarters and kitchen, and numerous other outbuildings, a tennis court and aircraft landing strip.
Additional infrastructure on Carwell Station includes a 10-stand electric shearing shed with excellent sheep-handling facilities, large steel machinery sheds and eight 45-tonne silos.
Carwell Station is positioned as an ideal alternative for pastoral organisations in need of sound backgrounding country linking QLD or central southern NSW markets. Combined with its outstanding translink processing capabilities, sealed road frontage, power, piped water and substantial homestead, this property successfully mixes native flora and fauna management with solid commercial grazing outcomes.
All Nature Conservation Trust properties are sold with a conservation agreement in place.
