LAWD is pleased to announce the successful sale of Kalyeeda Station in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, together with a high-quality Droughtmaster herd, stock horses, plant and equipment.
Nerrima Pastoral Company, which owns neighbouring Nerrima Station, purchased Kalyeeda Station on a walk-in, walk-out basis, and has received Ministerial approval from the WA Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage.
Kalyeeda Station, located 100km from Fitzroy Crossing, is a productive 122,519-hectare pastoral lease that includes 40,000ha of fertile flood plains watered by the Fitzroy River and Kalyeeda Creek system.
LAWD Director, Olivia Thompson, who listed Kalyeeda Station along with colleague Simon Wilkinson, said the scale and efficiency of the property’s management systems reflected an average annual turn-off of 3,000 to 3,500 steers and females.
“Over the past five seasons, Kalyeeda Station has mustered close to 12,000 head of cattle per year, reflecting the significant capital investment the vendors have made in state-of-the art handling facilities,” Ms Thompson said.
“This has included a $900,000 centrally located cattle yard complex with capacity for 2,500 head, as well as quality fencing and a laneway system for efficient stock movement.”
LAWD Director, Simon Wilkinson, said Kalyeeda Station’s prompt sale was an indication of the value of its operational infrastructure, and a vote of confidence in Western Australia’s cattle industry.
“While we are unable to disclose the final sale price, we are pleased it was in line with the price guidance offered,” Mr Wilkinson said.
“The property attracted solid enquiry throughout the sale process, with four Expressions of Interest during the campaign.”
“The commitment of the Camp family to develop Kalyeeda over the past 30 years using technology-driven modern pastoral practices and sustainable land management, ensured it presented as an outstanding investment opportunity.”
Kalyeeda Station features a professionally monitored water supply system throughout, with 21 solar-equipped bores reticulating to steel water tanks connected to Farmbot remote monitoring systems and rain gauges.
Operational infrastructure includes purpose-built steel sheds for machinery and hay storage and stables, and an abundance of accommodation options for staff and managers in the 1.8-hectare homestead complex.
A 1200-metre gravel airstrip built in 2024 enables easy access by air to Fitzroy Crossing (100km), Derby (220km), Broome (260km) and Kununurra (530km).
