“Mylora”, a mixed farming jewel set in the historic heartland of Binalong on the Southern Tablelands, is being offered for sale for only the second time in its 170-year history, along with an historic, six-bedroom homestead overlooking Jugiong Creek.

The 3200-hectare property has long been recognised as one of the premier holdings in the district and comprises 1,800ha of arable land and 1,410ha of rolling pastures, with a carrying capacity of 40,000 DSE.

Superior improvements include a roller mill with 2,660t of grain storage, a 960-head cattle drought lot, extensive sheep/lamb feed yards with a capacity of 10,000 head, cattle yards, numerous sheep yards, hay sheds, machinery sheds and workshop.

The property is currently running 7,000 Merino ewes joined to Poll Dorset and White Suffolk terminal sires, 1,500 Angus breeders and 1,200 trade cattle in a Wagyu backgrounding program.

Situated next door to the childhood home of Australian poet AB ‘Banjo’ Paterson who named his first published poem after the property, “Mylora” sits at the junction of Illalong and Jugiong Creeks just 7km from the Hume Highway, an hour’s drive from Canberra and under three hours from the Sydney CBD.

Owner Angus Graham, who has lived at and managed Mylora for the past 25 years, said it’s a remarkable and historic holding that is experiencing an exceptional season.

“The property has only ever been sold twice and it’s a beautiful mix of country, with creeks running through it as well as three bores and more than 50 dams providing great water security,” Mr Graham said.

“It’s an ideal breeding block but also perfect for finishing or trading livestock, and the infrastructure is second to none. The cattle and sheep feeding facilities provide drought security as well as the capacity to finish breeder progeny or room to expand on a larger scale into finishing stock.”

Residences on the property include a manager’s home, two cottages used for staff accommodation, and shearers’ quarters comprising a full commercial kitchen and room for a team of 18 working in the eight-stand shearing shed.

Much of the folklore about the gold rush, bushrangers and early settlers that surrounds “Mylora” is centred on its grand stone homestead, which features a formal dining room, sitting room and six bedrooms, one of which was the original jail and one a former ballroom.

Extensively renovated over the past 10 years, the stately home sits in three hectares of manicured lawns and established gardens, containing a tennis court and in ground swimming pool.

LAWD Senior Director, Col Medway, said “Mylora” would appeal to a range of buyers.

“It would make a perfect country estate for a buyer looking to appoint a manager, an existing local operator seeking expansion, or institutional investors in search of a standout Australian agricultural asset,” Mr Medway said.

“Mylora” is offered for sale by Expression of Interest closing at 12 noon (AEDT) on Thursday 12 October, 2023.
