Savannah Station is a 3562ha property at Mt Surprise ideal for east coast graziers.
COVERING an expansive 7600ha, these two Far Northern grazing stations offer a rare opportunity for east coast residents to get their name on western multi-use pastoral land.
The properties at Mt Surprise, about 380km southwest of Cairns are a subdivision of a former family grazing farm known as Rocky Springs.
The once 17,000ha cattle grazing property was purchased last year with its current owners sighting development potential before subdividing the land into three paddocks.
Now the 3562ha Savannah Station and 4106ha Byrimine Station have been listed on the market for auction on October 20, with Slaney and Co Real Estate’s Henry Slaney.
Mr Slaney said the subdivision had created an opportunity for “people from all walks of life”, due to their manageable sizes.
Byrimine Station at Mt Surprise is a 4106ha property that has cattle grazing, tourism and agriculture potential.

“Those little blocks don’t come onto the market at all in the Mt Surprise area,” he said.
“It’s freehold title which is a rare commodity in pastoral areas.
“The view was since they (the owners) created those blocks, then that would give opportunity to people on the coast looking at a small breeding block. To breed calves and send them up to the Tablelands, for example.”
Mr Slaney said other than their intended uses as cattle stations, Byrimine also had the potential for other commercial avenues.
“On Byrimine, that’s got grazing, tourism and farming opportunities.
“It’s got an area of suitable land, which has been previously cleared adjacent to the creek with a water licence. So someone could grow some crops or horticulture.
It’s referred to as the big oasis – it’s basically a spring, and the spring is in black soil country. And when it floods out it brings out these little lagoons everywhere over a couple hundred acres.
“So you’re not allowed to develop that, it has to stay as is, but you could easily see someone doing something from an eco tourism perspective.”
