The property has an area of 2,809* hectares (6,941 acres).
Located an hour northeast of Armidale and set at the top of the Clarence River Catchment, the property’s grandeur is only surpassed by its proven productivity.
Already with a sound production base, “Te-Angie’s” scale accommodates scope for an increase in productivity.
By road, “Te-Angie” is located 50 kilometres east of Guyra, 33 km west of Ebor, 63 km north-east of Armidale and 145 km west of Coffs Harbour. This in turn is about midway between Sydney and Brisbane.
Armidale is the major commercial, education and cultural hub of New England. There are several public and private schools, the University of New England and a TAFE college.
Several beef cattle societies have their headquarters at Armidale.
The airport supports several commercial flights daily to Sydney and a daily service to Brisbane.
“Te-Angie” is ideally located to supply stock to the abattoirs and feedlots of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland.
In recent years, “Te-Angie” has been home to the Te-Angie Hereford cattle stud. Today, the focus is on commercial beef production.
“Te-Angie’s” breeding enterprise is supported by nearby “Forest Lodge” (also for sale through MacDougall Rural Property), where progeny are backgrounded for the feeder cattle market.
A successful prime lamb enterprise has also been undertaken on “Te-Angie”.
