Heavy rain delays Darling Downs farm sale by a week

A 271-hectare Darling Downs farm sale has been extended by a week after more than 200mm of rain.

A large farming property near Toowoomba has delayed its sale campaign by a week after heavy rainfall soaked the land. The Blanch family's Koondooloo property received over 200mm of rain recently, making inspections difficult.

Expressions of interest now close on November 23. The farm sits on the Condamine River and Kings Creek with irrigation rights and has typically grown barley, wheat and canola.

The agent said the land will be planted with sorghum ready for its new owner.

Why it mattersWet soil prevents buyers from properly inspecting the property, pushing back a transaction the family needs for succession planning.

AustraliaQueensland farm buyers interested in irrigation-backed land now have more time to inspect the property once the ground dries.
