Institutional scale cropping portfolio hits the market

The opportunity to acquire the Duxton Farms Cropping Portfolio, an irrigated and dryland production powerhouse located in the Central West Region of New South Wales, is expected to attract significant local and international interest from corporate, institutional and family farming groups.

Located between Forbes and West Wyalong, the portfolio comprises three properties - Walla Wallah, Yarranlea, and West Plains Lenborough - offering a combined 7,484 hectares, each with high quality infrastructure and well-developed irrigated and dryland cropping, along with a substantial volume of water entitlements.

CBRE’s James Beer, John Harrison, and Thomas Quinn have been appointed to steer the International Expressions of Interest Campaign on behalf of Duxton Farms .

Mr Beer, CBRE’s Senior Director of Agribusiness, noted the scale, diversity and development quality of the portfolio would appeal strongly to investors seeking high-performing agricultural assets underpinned by secure water entitlements.

“This is a rare opportunity to acquire a cropping platform with substantial irrigation capability located within a highly regarded dryland and irrigated cropping region,” Mr Beer said.

“We anticipate there will be strong interest at both an institutional and family farming group level, given the uniqueness of each property in terms of location, irrigation infrastructure and further development potential, which is why we are offering the portfolio to market in one line or as separate properties,” he added.

Mr Harrison said, “The infrastructure, water entitlements and development quality across all three properties place the Duxton Farms Cropping Portfolio among the leading large‑scale cropping enterprises currently available in the market.”

The Duxton Farms Cropping Portfolio includes:

• Walla Wallah: An approximate 1,400 hectare holding featuring approximately 939 hectares of flood irrigation and approximately 411 hectares of arable dryland, supported by 4,830 megalitres of groundwater and 256 megalitres of Lachlan River General Security water.

• Yarranlea: An approximate 2,184-hectare property comprising approximately 560 hectares of flood irrigation and approximately 1,394 hectares of arable dryland, underpinned by 1,868 megalitres of Jemalong Irrigation Limited General Security water.

• West Plains and Lenborough: An approximate 3,900-hectare property comprising approximately 647 hectares of flood irrigation and approximately 2,876 hectares of arable dryland, along with 1,708 megalitres of Jemalong Irrigation Limited General Security water.
