Sean Howard sells Upper Murray holding for about $6 million
Entrepreneur Sean Howard has sold his rural property, Mount Falcon Station in the Upper Murray region of southern NSW, for about $6 million.
The 2,800-hectare Mount Falcon Station, which Howard has owned since 1998, has a five-bedroom 1934 homestead set in a mature garden.
The property has recently carried up to 1,350 breeding cattle.
Details of the price and buyer have not been disclosed by Sydney-based agency Meares and Associates. Chris Meares of Meares and Associates has expected to secure $6 million-plus when tenders closed in June.
The 2,790-hectare property, which runs cattle and sheep, has had three owners over most of the past century including the Falkiner family, who sold in 1964.
It changed hands again in 1998 when offloaded by the Olympic runner John Landy and his brothers, Richard and Tony.
John Landy was the governor of Victoria from 2001 to 2006. The property is close to the junction of the Murray and Tooma rivers near Corryong.
Howard, one of the founders of OzEmail, spends his time in the retirement and aged care sector.
