Cullingral, the Upper Hunter landmark, listed for sale again

The historic Cullingral at Merriwa, one of the Upper Hunter's landmark properties, has its third agency marketing the property in the space of a year.

The 208 hectare holding on the Merriwa River dates back to a land grant in 1839 to Charles Blaxland, a grandson of the explorer and pastoralist Gregory Blaxland, of Blue Mountains crossing fame. 

It was Gregory Blaxland who built the origins of the present homestead in the same year, using local sandstone. 

The cattle enterprise comes with a three-shed poultry facility for hatching and growing of quail, operated under a five-year lease arrangement to Game Farms Australia, which generates annual lease income of $125,400.

The vendors, Brice and Bronwyn Stokes have it listed with Meares & Associates.

Last year the property had $3.5 million to $4 million prices hopes however a buyer failed to emerge.
