Ian Simpson and Co has an impressive track record with auctions, following on from their March auctions held last week at Condobolin, Lake Cargelligo and Forbes. Ian Simpson and Co. held eight auctions over three days with a 50% clearance rate achieved. At Condobolin, the property at 8 Alldis Street sold under the hammer, as did 107 Flint Street, Forbes and 255 Farnell Street, Forbes. One of the properties at 8712 Lachlan Valley Way Forbes sold prior to auction.

Ian Simpson said, “We had a total of 19 registered bidders and a 50% clearance rate. Good inspections have followed for the properties that didn’t sell and we are confident a successful result will follow soon. We were pleased with the large attendance at all auctions and this shows that there is considerable interest in these two local markets at the present time, with buyers coming from both locally and surrounding areas.”

“I would like to congratulate our vendors and purchasers, wishing them all the best and huge thanks for their support. The buyers are becoming more comfortable and confident with our auction process which is great to see. The auction process enables the vendors to complete a sale within a shorter timeframe and with Open for Inspections, enables prospective buyers the opportunity to have a good look at the property prior to buying.”

Ian said, “I am pleased with this overall result for the year, as we have held 10 auctions with six sold, which is a 60% clearance rate. Our next round of auctions takes place on 19th and 20th April with five properties being auctioned.”

8712 Lachlan Valley Way, Forbes. We all know that finding approximately 5 acres just outside of town with a very tidy three bedroom cottage set amongst established grapevines, gardens and lawns is like finding a needle in a hay stack. This once off opportunity has now risen to the market’s attention with so much potential.

Chislett’s vineyard was well known around the district for his divine red and white wine. The estate is being wound up and vendor has done a wonderful job maintaining the property like Mr Chislett had done some years ago. It’s now your time to buy such a rarity.

This property could well represent really good value for money if you are working with a modest budget.

“River Dell” is undoubtedly one of those keenly sought after Forbes district properties. It is difficult to decide just which are its best features.

Is it the five bedroom homestead with its contemporary design, set in established gardens surrounded by mature trees and scrubs?

Or the quality of the associated infrastructure,

sheds, yards and fencing? Or could it be the productiveness of the alluvial soils?

Perhaps, that there is just over 4km of Lachlan River frontage with a beach for launching a boat, fishing, picnicking or swimming?

Or that “River Dell” is only 10km from Forbes?

Or is it that the property is on two separate titles one with the homestead and the other with dwelling approval?

If any or all of these features appeal to you please don’t hesitate to contact us for information or come on one of our three Saturday open farm tours or arrange a private inspection at your convenience.

A 113.48ha (280 acre*) irrigation property with a 500ml water entitlement and only 10km* from Forbes is a pretty special find these days. It could be yours to move in on 25th January 2018. “Rodwell” will be auctioned on 14th December unless it is sold prior.

The home has been sited on this property with great care. From the dining room table you look out over the majority of the farm. The house is oriented with a north-easterly aspect to capture the best winter sunshine and relief from the summer heat.

There is no shortage of water to look after the garden and its trees as there is a domestic bore at the house. In addition to the bore there are several rainwater tanks.

Shelter for livestock is provided by a centrally located stand of pine trees accessible by 4 of the 9 main paddocks. The other paddocks have established tree plantings.
