A collection of our finest rural properties



The harvest is in and the dust has settled.
For those watching the rural property market closely, Autumn arrives not as a slowdown but as a moment of clarity. Where Spring attracts the noise, Autumn rewards the serious.
In this edition of the McGrath Rural Autumn Collections Magazine, we present a considered selection of lifestyle and agricultural properties from vendors who have made deliberate, well-timed decisions to come to market. Our partnership with Knight Frank continues to connect local opportunity with international capital, while our standing as Australia’s most followed real estate brand ensures every campaign carries both metropolitan reach and genuine grassroots presence.
This edition also shares the thinking behind the results. Our Singles Creek case study demonstrates what a bespoke expressions of interest campaign can achieve - a transaction concluded in just 14 days on an 811-hectare trophy property in the tightly-held Murrurundi district. We also reflect on the McGrath Rural team’s attendance at the Wilmot Field Day, part of an ongoing commitment to broadening knowledge and sharpening the service we bring to clients across the network.
We hope you find exactly what you have been looking for within these pages.
Marketing a rural property requires a tailored strategy that reflects its unique appeal, buyer profile, and market dynamics.
The recent, highly-successful sale of Upper Hunter jewel, Singles Creek, (811ha/2,004ac) in the tightly-held Murrurundi district, is proof the team at McGrath Rural Upper Hunter understands the region and the market undercurrents, designing a bespoke Expressions of Interest (EOI) campaign which delivered a quick transaction in just two weeks.
McGrath Upper Hunter principal Michael Burke said he recommended the EOI strategy because of the unique nature of the property and scarce supply of similar trophy properties, therefore determining its value was not straightforward.
“We knew the property would appeal to different sectors of the market - it featured a balance of equine and livestock improvements, it had a beautiful, fully-renovated homestead, and good quality rangeland country – so we developed a strategy targeting multi-layers within the rural property market.”
He said behind the successful result, and being able to execute a sale within 14 days, was an engaging social media campaign with top quality video production, attracting close to 40,000 views cumulatively during the campaign.
He said McGrath Upper Hunter is clear about its EOI process, ensuring transparency and integrity around pricing information for both vendors and buyers.
At the end of the EOI period, McGrath takes the three best submissions to the vendor, incentivising potential purchasers to put their best offer forward. A second round is then entered to deal with those three bidders exclusively, calling for best and final offers.
“We then deal with the highest bid to try and conclude a sale with that purchaser. We don’t go back and ‘Dutch auction’ - we are very transparent about that. We will deal with the highest offer first.
Mr Burke said while most rural sales he handled used the EOI approach, he stressed it was just one option for vendors.

“Every property deserves its own strategy, offering a tailored option to clients which suits the market.”


The economic and environmental case for regenerative agriculture is no longer being made by idealists. It is being made by scientists with vast datasets, by fifth-generation farmers who nearly went broke, and by the corporate supply chains now demanding it at scale. McGrath Rural agents attended the 2026 Wilmot Field Day to hear it firsthand.


The most persistent misconception is that regenerative practice trades productivity for principle. The data disagrees. Dr Jonathan Lundgren’s Ecdysis Foundation has monitored 1,700 farms across 38 US states, measuring 500-plus variables per property. Farms transitioning to regenerative systems didn’t suffer profitability losses. What they lost was input dependency. In Washington State’s Palouse region, after three years, 90 per cent of participating farms had eliminated all insecticides and fungicides. Two-thirds had cut synthetic fertilisers and herbicides entirely. For producers facing rising input costs and tightening commodity returns, that’s not philosophy. It’s a balance sheet argument. Degraded soil is a depreciating asset. Restoring it is a capital investment with compounding returns.
Pressure to reduce herd sizes in the name of emissions isn’t going away. But Dr Allen Williams, who has shaped regenerative practice across more than 15 million hectares globally, argues the debate targets the wrong variable. “It’s our management of the livestock that determines whether they are a tool for positive change or a tool for negative results.”
Regenerative grazing produces deeper root systems, greater carbon storage, and soil that holds roughly 20,000 additional gallons of water per acre for every one per cent increase in organic matter, a material factor as rainfall becomes less predictable. Producers adopting these techniques report healthier herds, more cattle per acre, and improved pregnancy rates. The productivity gains run alongside the environmental ones.
farming: ask the harder questions
Queensland grazier and Nuffield Scholar Pippa Jones cut through the noise with three questions every landholder should answer before engaging in a carbon project: Does it benefit the bottom line? Does it align with your values? Does it align with your succession plan? The third is most often skipped. Carbon and biodiversity projects that lock in management obligations for decades can complicate succession, affect borrowing capacity, and limit flexibility. The revenue opportunity is real. Macdoch’s Wilmot Cattle Company sold significant soil carbon credits to Microsoft in 2021, but it demands the same due diligence as any long-term capital decision.
Farmland actively managed for soil health, reduced input dependency, or established environmental income is increasingly distinct from land that hasn’t been. That distinction shows up in productivity data, drought resilience, and the risk profile informed buyers are now applying.
Alasdair MacLeod of the Macdoch Group was direct: “Net zero quite simply is the greatest opportunity for farmers in generations.” Demand for environmental outcomes is structural, not cyclical. Agricultural land is positioned to supply them. Sustainable farming isn’t running alongside the property market. It’s increasingly driving it.

Prime Waikato Estate
One of Waikato’s premier rural estates, a 134.77ha (more or less) property of exceptional pedigree, privacy and potential. Positioned at the end of a private no-exit road, it offers rare peace and seclusion, bordered by the Oraka Stream and Waihou River which meet at the rear of the property, creating a landscape rich in natural beauty and recreation.
Originally developed in the late 1980s as the renowned Fayette Park equine stud, the property retains its elite heritage while presenting a range of future opportunities. With excellent contour, quality soils and impressive aesthetics, it is well suited to equine pursuits, mixed farming, or tourism and event ventures, subject to consents.
Infrastructure is a standout feature, including a substantial 44-box stable complex and a range of supporting buildings. This is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark holding with scale, versatility and a proven legacy in one of the Waikato’s most desirable rural locations.




Three Titles. One Extraordinary Opportunity.
Set above the waters of Lake Ōkāreka, this landholding offers a rare blend of natural beauty. The exquisitely transformed 337sqm main residence commands sweeping views across the lake and surrounding countryside. The master suite forms a private retreat, thoughtfully positioned for peace and seclusion, while two additional bedrooms and a self-contained upper level provide refined flexibility for extended family, guests or independent living.
Across the approx. 54-hectare title, the farming infrastructure is impressive. Around 21-hectares of easy country are deer-fenced and divided into 20 paddocks. The current operation runs 60 Red Deer breeding hinds and replacements, finishes around 55 venison annually, and supports 12 rising two-year-old steers. Native bush and production forestry complete a balanced, scenic and productive farm environment. On the second title, 171 Millar Road, the much-loved “Red Barn” offers additional income across 9.5-hectares, sleeping up to 14 guests and presenting strong Airbnb potential. The third title - 8,015sqm of flat land.
