THE northern Maranoa property Chain-o-Holes - aptly named because of its massive 26km double frontage to the Maranoa River - will be auctioned in Roma on February 27.
The property will be offered on behalf of long-term owners Max Leeson and Sandra Leeson to finalise a family partnership.
Located 120km north of Mitchell and 126km west of Injune, the 22,655ha (55,978 acre) property is undulating mixed forest country of box, ironbark, eucalypt and cypress pine interspersed with softer, well-grassed river and creek flats.
Soil types vary from forest loams to sandy loams with softer clay and box flats.
The property is well grassed with a variety of native grasses including forest bluegrass, kangaroo, and spear grass.
In addition to the Maranoa River, water is sourced from Simpsons Creek and 11 bores. Chain-o-Holes is securely fenced on its boundaries and divided with internal fencing into six main grazing paddocks, holding paddocks and water and mustering squares. The estimated carrying capacity is 850 to 1000 breeders.
There is a two-bedroom homestead, self-contained two-bedroom quarters, single quarters, machinery shed and a workshop.
Selling agent Darryl Langton, Landmark Harcourts, Roma, said Chain-o-Holes was a well-watered, secure, affordable breeder property within reach of saleyards and buffel grass finishing regions.
"The property would make an ideal addition to an established finishing enterprise as a low-cost breeder block and the property is for genuine sale by auction to finalise a family partnership," Mr Langton said.
"The property has also picked up some handy falls of rain in storms in recent weeks and presents in very good order."
