Palinga is a substantial and tightly held rural holding offering 1.2 kilometres of frontage to the Mammy Johnson River, combining highly productive river flats with undulating grazing country and timbered ridgelines. Rich in history, scale and operational capability, this is a genuine working farm with long-term upside.
Originally acquired from the AA Company in 1907 by Thomas Greenham, later operated as a dairy and subsequently as a beef enterprise, Palinga has been continuously farmed for more than a century and is now offered for the first time in decades.
