Brae Springs represents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial and productive rural holding steeped in history and capability. Spanning approximately 638.87* hectares, this well-balanced grazing enterprise combines reliable rainfall, excellent water security and versatile country, delivering both immediate operational appeal and long-term agricultural value in a tightly held district.
History
First settled in 1839 as part of the original Huon family holdings, Brae Springs carries a rich and enduring agricultural legacy. Passing through several custodians over more than a century, the property was acquired by Mr Justice Nagle in 1961. Historically renowned for sheep and wool production, the enterprise transitioned to cattle breeding and grazing following this period, reflecting both adaptability and evolving market trends. This history of careful stewardship is evident in the property's condition today.
Location
Positioned 8.3kilometres south of Walla Walla, the property enjoys excellent accessibility and connectivity. With easy access to the Hume Freeway, Brae Springs provides convenient access to major rural cities of Albury, Wodonga, Wagga Wagga and the metropolitan centres of Sydney and Melbourne, supported by daily air and rail services. The surrounding region is well regarded for its reliable rainfall and climate, strong agricultural productivity, while lifestyle appeal is enhanced by proximity to large rural cities, the Victorian snowfields, Lake Hume, the Murray River for water sports, Rutherglen and Beechworth wineries with the Ovens Valley, Bright and Myrtleford all easily accessed for day trips or relaxing weekends.
Infrastructure
The property is supported by a comprehensive suite of infrastructure suited to modern agricultural operations. Improvements include a substantial duplex residence featuring two three-bedroom apartments, ideal for owner occupation or staff accommodation. Operational infrastructure includes a new 24m x 12m lock-up machinery shed and workshop, an original steel framed machinery shed, a large 3 bay hay shed, steel cattle yards and a historic wool shed with sheep yards (not in use). Well-established gardens surrounding the homestead feature gargantuan Moreton Bay figs, a towering Bunya Bunya pine, Norfolk Pine and extensive rose plantings, complemented by an automatic watering system and expansive outdoor areas.
Production Capabilities
Brae Springs offers highly versatile production capability, suited to both grazing and mixed farming enterprises. The property features well-drained, granite-based soils supporting improved pastures of ryegrass and sub clover, alongside areas of native and Phalaris pastures. Cropping history includes canola, wheat, triticale and oats, with recent utilisation focused on grazing and hay production.
Water
Water security is a defining feature of Brae Springs. The property benefits from a permanent and reliable spring water source, which has never run dry since settlement. This is complemented by dams and creek systems, forming a highly dependable stock water network. The spring water is captured and distributed via a well-designed reticulated system, pumped to header tanks with a combined capacity of approximately 135,000 litres, enabling efficient gravity-fed water to be distributed to troughs across the property. Domestic water is supplied via substantial rainwater storage, with the spring system providing a reliable backup.
Fencing
The property is well subdivided into 23 main paddocks allowing for efficient grazing management and operational flexibility. Fencing is practical and functional, supporting stock control across varying topography, from creek flats to rising hills and sheltered valleys along the Brae Springs Range. This configuration enables effective rotational grazing and maximises utilisation of both improved pastures and native country. Electric fencing infrastructure supports all steel constructed fabricated fences and gates. Stock Grids are a feature across the property allowing for easy movement for vehicles across the property.
Crops and Pastures
Brae Springs offers many arable paddocks suited to flexible crop and pasture improvement programs, having previously supported wheat, oats and canola, alongside perennial grass species including phalaris and lucerne. Existing stands of annual ryegrass and subclover provide a strong grazing base with over sown oats. Soil fertility has been consistently improved, with lime applied since 2009, annual single super at 100kg per hectare, and MAP used at sowing for crops and pasture establishment. Historical cropping programs have been refocused with management concentrating on grazing oats for livestock performance and reliable hay production, underpinning productivity and long-term pasture resilience.
Brae Springs is a proven 638.87* hectare grazing enterprise combining reliable rainfall, secure water and versatile country. Rich in history and well improved, it offers strong productivity, quality infrastructure and flexible mixed farming capability in a tightly held, highly regarded farming location.
