Bengalla - A Legacy of Seven Generations
For over 150 years, Bengalla has been more than a farm - it has been a legacy. Held by the Blake family since the mid-1800s, this tightly held 243-hectare (600-acre) property has never been on the open market. Now, as the seventh generation hands over the reins, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of New England's finest grazing holdings.
Located just 5km from the welcoming township of Walcha, Bengalla lies in the heart of a district renowned for its fertile soils, cool-climate productivity, and long-standing farming tradition.
A Productive Grazing Enterprise
Bengalla is underpinned by rich basalt and granite soils, reliable rainfall, and an enviable temperate climate. This highly responsive country has a long track record of producing superfine Merino wool, prime beef, and Angus cattle.
Infrastructure includes:
• Nine dams and two bores
• Seven troughs supplied by a 102kL concrete tank
• Well-designed rotational grazing paddocks
• A two-stand unequipped wool shed and additional shedding for farm use
• Carrying capacity has comfortably supported 180 cows and calves through winter, with feed to spare in summer - all without supplementary feeding.
• Lifestyle & Natural Beauty
Beyond its productivity, Bengalla is a sanctuary. The property enjoys 1.42km double frontage of the Apsley River and 480m the Ohio - providing private access for trout fishing, swimming, or simply watching platypus at dusk. Rolling high tablelands and sweeping rural views make every corner of this farm picturesque.
Homestead & Convenience
The original four-bedroom weatherboard farmhouse sits proudly on the land, ready for its next chapter with a new family. Everyday conveniences are in place, with mains power, postal delivery, and a school bus service.
A Rare Offering
Bengalla is not just a property - it is a living piece of history. A legacy built by generations, now waiting for new family to create their own story.
