The picturesque 'Allandale' is a 409.22 hectare property just 7 minutes from the rural township of Narrandera. The property features prime Riverina farming and grazing country with approximately 2 kilometres direct frontage to the mighty Murrumbidgee River along the southern boundary, with beautiful flat riverbanks perfect for picnicking, camping and fishing among the River Red Gums.
'Allandale' is a unique opportunity to enjoy a serene lifestyle, undertake farming and grazing pursuits, and conserve a mosaic of landscape types ranging from open regenerating woodlands to forested wetlands.
The property configuration provides approximately 256 hectares of mixed farming and grazing country, over 16 paddocks, with 2 machinery sheds, enclosed workshop-storage shed, older style storage shed and steel panelled cattle yards with storage and lead-up pens, race, vet crush and loading ramp, with a working capacity of approximately 80 head.
The proposed conservation area at 'Allandale' spans around 153 hectares and features a significant presence of River Red Gum trees, which are the primary food source for the resident population of endangered Koalas (confirmed on site). Additionally, the area serves as a nesting site for the vulnerable Superb Parrot. The conservation area also includes restoration zones of native woodlands and a variety of native tree and shrub species to boost the overall species diversity and improve koala mobility through the landscape.
Annual funding is available for conservation management through our Conservation Management Program.
