Three Flinders Island farms are for sale together seeking an eight-figure price.
TIREE, Reedy Lagoon and Durris on Flinders Island have hit the market together.
These three Tasmanian farms represent one of the largest landholdings on the tightly-held island, and present a chance to secure a large-scale premium cattle breeding operation.
For sale with LAWD and Nutrien Harcourts, the agents describe the operation as a pasture- based, self-replacing beef cattle operation focused on breeding black angus cattle.
Cattle are sold to a range of markets in Tasmania and interstate as feeder and restocker cattle.
The properties — which are the most expensive Tasmanian listing on realcommercial.com.au today — are estimated to have a carrying capacity of 75,000 dry sheep equivalents.
