Winfield and Miara Portfolio offered for sale in one line or as separate properties
Two established macadamia orchards situated on 1,512ha in the Bundaberg growing region have hit the market and, according to the Colliers Agribusiness team, are attracting strong global interest.
The two properties, known as Winfield and Miara, are being offered for sale either together or separately and are located in the Bundaberg region of Wide Bay–Burnett, one of Australia’s largest macadamia production regions.
The larger property, Winfield Orchard, offers 750ha of land with a total tree count of 68,730. It recently underwent significant rejuvenation, including strategic limb and row removal and irrigation upgrades. The orchard has shown significant yield improvements over the past five years, producing 1,043 tonnes of macadamias in 2024, according to Colliers. With 48ha of vacant plantable land, there is also opportunity to further develop the orchard. The trees on Winfield were planted between 1991 and 2007 with the average age of trees being 26.
Miara Orchard spans 762ha with 33,703 trees planted across 124.97ha between 2020 and 2022. In 2024, the orchard yielded 13.9 tonnes of produce. It boasts an advanced irrigation system, including the MAIT automated control.
With Miara located 27 radial kilometres and Winfield 50 radial kilometres from Bundaberg, the orchards benefit from easy access and efficient logistics with proximity to major transport hubs, including ports and highways.
Colliers head of agribusiness, Rawdon Briggs, said there was already strong domestic and international interest in the properties due to their location.
“A combination of increasing demand for food security and consumer appetite for healthy foods has underpinned strong growth in commodity prices and agricultural land prices,” Briggs said.
Colliers agribusiness executive Nicholas Warmington said there had been a trend towards macadamia in the Bundaberg region, with many former cane farmers changing to orchards.
“Australia’s macadamia industry is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing global demand and expanding into emerging markets, particularly into Asia. This trend promises robust opportunities for Australian producers,” Warmington said.
“This opportunity offers the astute purchaser the ability to acquire well developed and productive macadamia operations complete with further orchard development potential.”
