Large-scale shedded dairy and irrigation enterprise in South Australia’s Coorong District

Campbell House, a large-scale shedded dairy and irrigation enterprise in South Australia’s renowned Upper South East region is on the market, offering scale, productivity, and water security.

Spanning 1,500.7 hectares, Campbell House represents one of the Coorong District’s most significant and versatile agricultural opportunities, combining proven dairy performance, extensive irrigation infrastructure, and quality soils supporting high-yielding cropping and forage production.

The shedded dairy operation includes a 50-unit rotary dairy, facilitating 600 cows, and producing up to seven million litres of milk annually over the past five years.

Across the gently undulating topography, 91% (1,359.5ha) of the land is arable and has productive sandy loam over clay soils, which support consistent high-yielding crops including canola, lupins, barley, and oats, as well as hay and silage.

Underpinned by secure water resources from the River Murray Prescribed Water Course – River Murray Irrigation Management Zone, the holding features 232ha of spray irrigation serviced by eight remote-controlled, fibre-optic-connected centre pivots.

In addition to the Compost Barn, which has capacity for 600 cows, infrastructure across the property is extensive and fit for purpose, including five-year-old steel cattle yards with five-way draft and galvanised crush, 100-kilowatt solar array, 520 tonnes of silo storage, and multiple machinery and sundry sheds.

Accommodation includes a five-bedroom, 120-year-old stone homestead with commanding views over Lake Albert, a manager’s residence, workers’ quarters, and a stone cottage, all providing ample living options for both family and employees.

LAWD Director, Nigel Gosse, said the property’s scale, infrastructure, and versatility made it a rare offering in the region.

“Campbell House is a significant Coorong district dairy and irrigation opportunity,” Mr Gosse said.

“Given the versatility and location of the property, we would expect interest from a wide range of buyers including dairy operators looking for scale and quality infrastructure, livestock producers, and agribusinesses seeking to produce high-value seed, forage, or vegetable crops.

“Its prime location is also a benefit, being positioned between Lake Albert and the Coorong, which is recognised under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance.”

Located 16kms west of Meningie, 93kms south of Murray Bridge, and 166kms from Adelaide, Campbell House offers convenient access to services and markets.

Campbell House is being offered for sale by Expressions of Interest, closing at 12pm (ACDT) Thursday 11 December 2025. For more information contact LAWD Senior Director, Col Medway on +61 428 481 243 or LAWD Director, Nigel Gosse on +61 487 100 027.
