Landmark Sale Achieved for Quintis Estate Burdekin Irrigation Aggregation
Elders is proud to announce the successful sale of the Burdekin Aggregation, a major component of the nationally recognised Quintis Estate portfolio. Encompassing 1,928.6 hectares of developed irrigation country and supported by 11,549 megalitres of highly secure water entitlements, this sale represents a significant result for both the Burdekin region and the broader Queensland rural property market.
Located across the Dalbeg and Millaroo districts, the aggregation consists of 16 individual properties developed to support intensive irrigation and horticultural production. The holdings sit within the Burdekin Haughton Water Scheme, one of the state’s most reliable irrigation networks, with consistent 100% allocations for more than two decades. The country is renowned for its rich clay loam and silty soils, capable of supporting a wide range of crops including sugar cane, corn, beans, cotton, capsicum and melons.
Strong Market Interest
The campaign attracted exceptional enquiry from both local landholders and interstate farming groups, with genuine interest expressed in acquiring the aggregation as a whole as well as in smaller, strategic parcels. This response reflected not only the calibre of the land and water assets on offer, but also the growing confidence in the productivity and long-term potential of the Burdekin district.
Elders’ coordinated marketing approach brought together national exposure and local expertise, with dedicated teams managing enquiry, inspections, and negotiations to ensure competitive engagement across all buyer segments. The successful transaction demonstrates the ongoing strength of demand for large-scale irrigated land, particularly those offering water security and scale within proven production regions.
A Testament to Regional Strength
This sale highlights the Burdekin’s continuing importance as one of Australia’s premier irrigation regions. With the proposed Burdekin Falls Dam wall raising expected to increase available water capacity by up to 150,000 megalitres, the area’s reputation as a hub for intensive cropping and high-yield production continues to strengthen.
For Elders, the result reinforces the company’s position as a trusted advisor and sales leader in large-scale agribusiness transactions, capable of delivering premium results for clients through strategic marketing, data-driven campaign management and genuine on-ground relationships.
Congratulations to the new owners on securing some of the Burdekin’s most productive and sought-after soil types, and to all involved in achieving a successful outcome for this landmark sale.
