Historic Bookit Island Station, a productive irrigated cropping and cattle property in the Southern Riverina region of NSW, is for sale, featuring secure access to Murray Irrigation Limited channel water.
The amazing property also boasts rare biodiversity through its 26.4 kilometres of frontage to the Wakool River and two creeks.
The 2,038-hectare Bookit Island was once part of the giant Barham Station, first farmed by settlers in 1843, and features pockets of genuine Australian river country teeming with animals, birds and fish life around billabongs, two weirs and the main water courses.
The property, which is currently experiencing a spectacular start to the season, comprises 518ha of laser-levelled flood irrigation producing annual cereal, rice and fodder crops, and is stocked with approximately 550 beef cattle on 1,500ha of dryland grazing pastures
.
Although Bookit Island Station averages 373.5 millimetres of annual rainfall, a secure and plentiful water supply is assured through significant frontages of 12.4km to the Wakool River, 5.8km to Bookit Creek, and 8.2km along Merribit Creek.
“The river frontage, secure access to Murray Irrigation Limited channel water, and the natural beauty of Bookit Island Station make it a very attractive option for graziers seeking to expand their holdings or invest in a proven cropping and livestock performer,” LAWD Sales Executive, Nathan Cleeland, said.
“The vendor is offering very attractive terms of 1% deposit payable on contract signing, 9% deposit payable on possession early in 2026, and the balance payable by negotiation for up to five years.
“Bookit Island Station is on 27 titles, a legacy of its early settlement, and is for sale in-one-line or as two separate lots, for a purchase price of $6 million.”
The property comprises grey loam self-mulching soils, river silt, red loam to sandy loam and sand hill country.
