A premium parcel of 643.56 hectares in the Wimmera region is on the market for the first time in more than half a century, offering an unmissable dryland cropping opportunity in Victoria’s agricultural heart.
Owned and operated by Dennis and Dorcas Schneider for more than 50 years, the portfolio comprises four landholdings that produce high-yielding dryland crops including lentils, canola, wheat and barley, with the opportunity for additional sheep grazing.
The properties, commonly referred to as Dennis (46.46ha), Ladlows (286.32ha), Bakers (183.06ha), and Owens (127.72ha), are offered for sale as a whole or in separate blocks, with immediate access upon completion of the 2025 harvest.
Offering consistent growing season rainfall in addition to favourable soil types, the holdings have secure water via the Grampians Wimmera Mallee Pipeline, plus a further catchment situated at the main shedding complex.
With the Wimmera currently experiencing favourable seasonal conditions, LAWD Sales Executive, Patrick Kerr, is expecting the sale price to be circa $10,000 per acre.
“We anticipate strong interest in secure, high-yielding cropping land of this quality, either from nearby landholders looking to expand, but also farming families seeking to acquire one or several of the holdings,” Mr Kerr said.
“With 97% of the D&D Schneider Portfolio considered arable, this holding presents operational efficiencies and economies of scale ideally suited to low-input cropping.”
The four properties benefit from productive soil types, the majority of which are self-mulching clays and Wimmera loams.
Structural improvements and operational infrastructure include a three-bedroom, one bathroom brick veneer residence that is currently tenanted, as well as a 330sqm machinery shed, a 90sqm chemical storage shed, 115sqm hay shed and sheep yards.
The properties are situated near the township of Jung and are 16 kilometres north-east of the Wimmera’s largest regional city, Horsham, which offers convenient access to a range of agricultural agencies, plus educational, health and recreational facilities.
The D&D Schneider Portfolio is For Sale by Expression of Interest (in-one-line or as separate assets), closing at 12pm AEDT on Thursday 9 October, 2025. For more information, contact LAWD Sales Executive, Patrick Kerr on +61 451 142 791.
