Picturesque Prime Grazing Country - WIWO, Quality Plant & Cattle

“Glencoe” is located 147km northwest from Charters Towers in the tightly held renowned basalt area. There is 40km of bitumen, 101km gravel to boundary and 6km to the homestead.

An impressive property spanning 23,800ha featuring pristine waters, very good infrastructure, quality Brahman cattle and exceptional internal roads. “Glencoe” has 240-volt rural power. Twice weekly mail service on Mondays and Thursdays and NBN satellite connection internet. STD telephone connections to homestead, men’s quarters and married quarters. “Glencoe” also has a 1km well maintained airstrip.

An outstanding basalt cattle property with a wonderful mixture of volcanic red soils running onto black soil plains and pockets throughout the property especially facing into the National Park basalt wall on the northern and eastern boundaries. Estimated to carry 6000AE, with approx. 5000 mixed cattle included in the sale.

Sparkling spring water creeks fed by 4 permanent free flowing springs and 1 semi-permanent spring twist and turn, flowing gently over basalt rocks shimmering on a relaxing picturesque countryside. These springs are backed up by 21 bores and 5 dams. The bores range from 35 feet standing water level to surface bores.

Enhancing this blue-ribbon open country cattle property are Kurrajong trees, Bottle trees, Black Butt, Ironbark, large Gum trees, Black Ti-Tree, Pink Bloodwood, Fig Trees, some softwood scrub and the odd Emu Apple Tree.

The black soil on the property promotes grasses including Queensland Blue Grass, Curly Blue Grass, Black Spear, Curly Mitchell, Hoop Mitchel, Angleton Blue Grass, USA Buffel, and Green Couch with annuals of Liverseed Grass, Button Grass and Summer Grasses.

The red soil on “Glencoe” is covered in a blanket of Blackspear Grass, Kangaroo Grass, Desert Blue Grass, Plume and Brown Sorghum, Seca Stylo and some Verano and Urochloa.

Overall, the property is very neat and tidy with well-designed infrastructure in lanes, yards and paddocks that are well fenced and well cleared on both sides that makes mustering safe and easy, and with little effort and time required to muster with helicopters and manpower.

A property that breeds and fattens but could be used as a Bullock depot as it has been in the past, with Steers taken to “Glencoe” to finish. A property more suited to dry cattle with the country quickly responding from little rainfall.
