Landsborough Highway, McKinlay, Qld 4823

Colliers Agribusiness and Prophurst are pleased to present Elrose Station for sale, a premium backgrounding & finishing operation in the highly regarded Cloncurry region of North-West Queensland. Ideally located and with exceptional access via bitumen frontage to Landsborough Highway, just 64*km southeast of Cloncurry and 46*km from McKinlay, Elrose offers scale, accessibility, and operational efficiency.

Spanning over 30,000* hectares of freehold and leasehold land with additional permits, Elrose features gently undulating Mitchell and Flinders grass downs with patches of lighter red soils. The seasonal Fullarton River and associated channels support reliable grazing with established buffel and native grasses. Situated in a 500*mm average annual rainfall zone, the property boasts an estimated carrying capacity of 5,800* Adult Equivalents.

Suited to both breeding and backgrounding programs, Elrose Station provides flexibility for domestic and export markets. Its moderate climate and tick-free status support Bos Taurus herds, enabling access to premium feeder and slaughter channels. Since 2021, the station has benefited from capital upgrades, including fencing improvements, two new water points, dam clean-outs, and upgraded yard infrastructure with slab-floored race drafts and new shelters.

Water security is a standout feature, with 18 dams, five main solar-equipped bores, shared bore access, and connection to the Eloise Mine borefield. Additional infrastructure includes turkey nests, tanks, poly pipelines, and troughs all in excellent condition.

Operational improvements continue with three sets of functional cattle yards, a large undercover sale complex, 22 main grazing paddocks, secure boundary fencing, multiple sheds, and a well-maintained six-bedroom homestead with workers' accommodation. Mains power and a backup generator support uninterrupted operations.

Elrose Station has changed hands only once in over a century and was formerly home to a renowned Brahman stud. More recently, it has proven an effective backgrounding unit within an integrated supply chain.

The property is offered for sale on a bare-of-livestock basis, including a substantial inventory of plant, vehicles, and equipment.

For sale by Expressions of Interest, closing Thursday 10 July at 4pm AEST.
