Cullingral, Merriwa listed for sale
One of the Upper Hunter’s landmark properties, Cullingral at Merriwa, has been listed with offers expected in a range from $3.5 million to $4 million.
The vendors, Brice and Bronwyn Stokes have it listed with MacCallum Inglis.
The 208 hectare holding on the Merriwa River dates back to a land grant in 1839 to Charles Blaxland, a grandson of the explorer/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 also comes with a three-shed poultry facility for hatching and growing of quail, operated under a five-year lease arrangement (recently renewed) to Game Farms Australia, which generates annual lease income of $125,400.
