The Oaks

Colliers Agribusiness and AWN Rural are proud to present for sale The Oaks, a premium 5,313* hectare mixed farming enterprise in the tightly held and highly productive Dalyup region of Western Australia.

Key features of The Oaks include:

Extensive freehold asset within Esperance:
The Oaks spans approximately 5,313* ha across six titles, with 3,998*ha arable, with further development potential. The property currently operates a 70/30* split between cropping and pasture, offering farming diversity in a high-rainfall zone.

Highly Developed Cropping Operation:
Over 80% of the arable area has been deep ripped to 500*mm in the past three years, improving water infiltration and root development.

Strong Agronomic Performance:
Fertiliser inputs are conservatively managed throughout The Oaks, with Esperance district five-year average yields of:
•1.5 to 2.5* tonnes/ha for canola
•3.5 to 4.5* tonnes/ha for wheat

Livestock:
The Oaks supports high winter stocking rates, 12 DSE/ha, with a current flock of 4,421* Merino ewes and 921* crossbred ewes. The livestock system focuses on fine wool and prime lamb production, supported by rotational grazing and perennial pastures including Kikuyu, Serradella, and Ryegrass.

Water:
The Oaks features 30 dams of varying sizes strategically positioned across the property. These are supported by a well-developed waterline system that supplies troughs and cup-and-saucer tanks in areas without direct dam access, fully supporting both crop and livestock operations.

Fertile Soils:
The Oaks features Dalyup loams on undulating slopes and sand-over-gravel profiles in flatter areas. Soil tests indicate strong fertility in loams and targeted nutrient management in sandplain areas.

Rainfall and Climate:
The Oaks receives 10-year average rainfall of 492*mm, with 360*mm during the growing season (April–October). The Mediterranean climate supports both winter cropping and summer grazing cycles.

Location:
The Oaks is ideally located just 40* kilometres northwest of Esperance and less than 20* kilometres from Western Australia’s south coast. The property benefits from direct access via the South Coast Highway and Gibson-Dalyup Road, with three main driveways and a gravelled internal laneway network. Its proximity to Esperance Airport (22.5* km) and major grain receival and export facilities augments operational logistics.

Supporting infrastructure:
•A centrally located six-stand shearing shed with covered yards
•A large 34*m x 38*m machinery shed (built 2018)
•Three residences, including a renovated Ravensthorpe stone cottage and a 4-bedroom homestead

Owned by the Russell family for over 50 years, The Oaks is now Sold.
