Five cattle stations for sale in Australia right now

Benmara Station, Creswell – NT

Benmara Station lies 345 linear kilometres north-east of Tennant Creek, in the Barkly Tablelands region of the Northern Territory. The station spans more than 451 hectares, fenced into approximately 20 paddocks and several more holding paddocks, with a homestead comprised of two residences, staff quarters and a kitchen.

The property’s water infrastructure is also “well-developed”, according to listing agents CBRE Agriculture, with 20 bores supplying 90 tanks and troughs and additional water provided by seasonal waterholes, including 19 dams, eight springs and several watercourses.

“Benmara Station represents a unique opportunity to acquire a large-scale, cattle-breeding property with significant potential for further development and income diversification,” CBRE Agriculture says.

Meka Station, Yalgoo – WA

Presented by Morgan Sudlow & Associates, the 365-hectare Meka Station is technically not just a cattle station, with infrastructure to support cattle and sheep.

The station comprises two outlying stations (totalling 40 paddocks and 95 sets of trap yards), two air-conditioned homesteads, a school building, a workshop and several sheds. Several more buildings dot the property, including “fully equipped donga facilities” and a 10-stand shearing shed.

Offered on a walk-in, walk-out basis, the sale includes a large number of livestock – 680 breeders, calves and weaners, 20 bulls and 300 mixed dorper sheep – an extensive plant and machinery list and a carbon contract.

The asking price is $7 million, plus carbon value.

King River Station, Katherine – NT

King River Station is a rare and substantial holding positioned approximately 40 kilometres from the township of Katherine. This iconic Northern Territory agricultural property spans an expansive 29,330 hectares under Perpetual Crown Lease and is ideal for cattle grazing, hay production and broadacre pasture development.

The station benefits from direct Stuart Highway frontage, ensuring excellent access for transport and logistics. Improvements include established infrastructure conducive to livestock management and rural operations, paired with comfortable onsite accommodation.

Yoothapina Station, Meekatharra – WA

Another West Australian station offered by Morgan Sudlow & Associates, Yoothapina Station sits about halfway between Perth and Karratha and less than a 15-minute drive from Meekatharra.

The 140-hectare property, which is connected to main power and serviced by solar and mills, is currently destocked but is set-up with the essentials: machinery, storage and general purpose sheds, a workshop and old blacksmiths workshop, and a set of cattle yards.

A four-bedroom homestead is also included in the sale, the asking price for which is $2.2 million.

Kalyeeda Station, Derby – WA

The 122,000-hectare Kalyeeda Station was created in the late 1980s, a sub-section of a much larger land lease broken up by the state government.

In the years since, the property, which lies 220 kilometres south-east of Derby and is bounded by the Fitzroy River to the north, has been fully fenced and now runs about 9000 head of cattle.

Kalyeeda comprises two residences – one cottage, a 12-bed staff quarters, two cattle yards, and extensive plant and equipment. The property’s 39 troughs and the two houses are serviced by 20 bores; Farmbot remote sensing systems monitor each water site.
