Two tightly held rural properties in NSW and South Australia are on sale, highlighting the renewed demand for lifestyle and large-scale agricultural holdings.

An iconic Capertee Valley property in midwestern NSW, featuring longstanding commercial roots, is for sale for the first time and is expected to attract strong interest from Sydney-based tree changers. Meanwhile, a rare dual-holding aggregation in South Australia’s tightly held Fleurieu region, offering genuine scale, proven productivity and outstanding natural appeal, has been listed with a price guide of $10 million.

Historic Kadisha Herb Farm birthplace for sale

Located less than two hours from Sydney’s edge, the tightly held 100-acre property, the original site of the prominent Kadisha Herb Farm, located at 5053 Castlereagh Highway, Capertee has been in the Katter family hands since it was built in 1974 and represents a rare opportunity to secure a landmark holding in one of NSW’s most picturesque rural valleys.

Listing agent and Principal of Raine & Horne Gulgong | Kandos Nicole Stearman said, “It’s rare for a property of this significance to the local business community to come to market, especially one held in the same family since 1974.

“Kadisha was the original paddock to plate operation – a commercial enterprise centred on sustainable horticulture before sustainability was in fashion.”

What began as a bold regional move by Sydney green changers over 50 years ago grew into one of the area’s most recognisable small businesses, featured on SBS, The Land, Qantas Magazine and Vogue Australia. At its height, Kadisha Herb Farm had 500 different culinary and medicinal herb varieties and became one of Australia’s first ‘herb nurseries’.

Anchoring the holding is the substantial two-storey, double-brick, master-built homestead, while the property also offers wide-ranging infrastructure, including lock-up and open machinery sheds, a high-clearance 20 metre x 32 metre hay shed, a potting shed, a meat house, a substantial greenhouse, a shearing shed and stables, stock yards and a round yard.

Water security is a significant feature, with three reliable sources including a bore, dams and approximately 150,000 litres of rainwater storage. The property is well fenced into five paddocks and includes established fruit trees and no water gardens.

While a price guide is available on request, buyer interest is expected in the $1.75-$1.95 million range, representing the scale, infrastructure, and tightly held nature of the holding.

Scale, reliability and high-performance grazing

Raine & Horne Rural SA, in conjunction with another agent, has brought 'Coorabong' and 'Kemmiss Hill' to market, a rare dual holding aggregation offering genuine scale, proven productivity and outstanding natural appeal in one of the Fleurieu's most popular districts.

Located at 433 James Track, Inman Valley, this property comprises 337 hectares (832 acres) across five freehold titles and represents a property package that delivers both operational strength and long-term upside, according to listing agent and principal of Raine & Horne Rural South Australia, Paul Clifford.

Set within a landscape of gently undulating agricultural country rising to elevated grazing hills, the holdings enjoy sweeping rural and coastal outlooks - a hallmark of this premium region. The enterprise is well established, with significant recent investment enabling the next owner to immediately capitalise on the property's production base.

The property’s carrying capacity is estimated at approximately 400 breeding cows plus progeny. There is additional scope for hay and silage production across selected paddocks. Approximately 225 acres are currently cut annually with room for expansion if required.

Reliable annual rainfall of 750-775mm supports a highly functional water harvesting and distribution system. 22 quality dams, several spring-fed, provide stock and domestic supply via direct drink or gravity-fed trough networks.
