Beautiful homestead - Tranquil garden
A spacious and comfortable homestead with an architechturally designed open plan kitchen and living area. In a beautifully treed 80 year old setting, the large garden has a tennis court and magnificent rock 'hah hah' wall. The whole homestead area has a tranquil ambience with the many old trees providing shelter and shade easily making a wonderful home.

Water and rich alluvial river flats - What could you create?
Naturally water is a significant benefit of Broughton Brook with its river frontage and secure water sources. There is a 12 inch irrigation bore (unequipped) pump tested at 9 megalitres (ML) per day with an irrigation licence of 269 ML. Stock can always be run in 48 paddocks which are permanently watered by either river, two stock bores or town water.

Lifestyle and future potential - Enjoy plenty
Broughton Brook has the expanse, countryside and location to experience a wonderful lifestyle.
From beyond rolling hills, to wide open spaces and the waters of the Murrumbidgee, you become aware that there is a plenty for a family to do and enjoy. Picnics and barbeques, horse riding, mountain biking, motor biking, canoeing, fishing and water skiing to name just a few.

Balance of land types - Equals business and production potential
Broughton Brook is truly flexible with 858 hectares (2,120acres) of arable land for cropping and the majority of the remainder workable for the direct drilling of fodder crop and pasture. The property is managed with major annual investments in fertilisers and pasture sowing. As well as benefiting from favourable South Easterly aspects and sympathetic landcare management.
In an average year the property has a peak carrying capacity in excess of 20,000 DSE, excluding crop. In 2008, 335 hectares of cereal crop and fodder has been planted. Cattle growth rates are regularly in excess of 2 kilograms per day in the spring. Cow conception rates are always in the 90's and most recently have been 96% in 2007 and 91% in 2008.

Landcare management - Beautiful and efficient
In the last 5 years a development plan has been implemented building an extensive laneway system in conjunction with planting 50,000 trees.
Laneways easily save time and reduce stress to livestock and people. "Additionally, the quality of fencing, laneways and infrastructure is of the highest standards. This obviously aids the efficiency factor and the potential to conduct 1 labour unit to in excess of 12,000 DSE" Mark Lucas, Consulting Agronomist.
Tree plantings provide carbon credits and increase flora and fauna biodiversity with an already obvious increase in bird life. These plantings fit with the naturally occurring timbers on Broughton Brook of Red Gum, Yellow Box, Grey & White Box and Kurrajong.

A rich history - On a world stage
Broughton Brook has always been renowned for the quality and performance of its livestock even since T Hastie Kelsall purchased the property in 1926.
Broughton Brook had its first champion Dorset in 1933 and went onto world wide success with sheep exports to Japan, South Africa, USA, India, Columbia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Great Britain, Canada and New Zealand.
Today Broughton Brook continues to produce high quality livestock. In 2006 a draft of 50 Angus and Angus Hereford cross steers won the CAAB (Certified Australian Angus Beef) Quality Awards competition for the first six months of the year, as calculated on feedlot and carcase performance out of 50,000 steers processed.
The Broughton Brook steers won the awards for both Best Performances and Best Marbling, a feat only ever achieved once before by the same property.
