More South Australian farming land has hit the market just weeks after news several other high-profile properties have changed hands, including sheep stations snapped up by billionaire Charlie Shahin.
Five landholdings across the state are up for grabs, and buyers are expected to be found for all of them by October.
It comes as two SA sheep and cattle stations change hands in separate deals this month, with the family behind one of Australia’s largest manufacturers of mobile waste and recycling containers, MASTEC, securing one.
Billionaire Charlie Shahin – of Adelaide’s wealthy Shahin family, which was formerly behind the OTR petrol and convenience store empire – also purchased a group of South Australian sheep stations, it was reported earlier this month, which make up the largest aggregation of their kind in the world.

‘Vater Family Aggregation’, Saddleworth – Przibillas.
One of the recent portfolios to hit the market spans 1104ha across the Saddleworth and Manoora districts in the state’s Mid North region and includes four of the five landholdings.
Held by the Vater family, the aggregation’s four landholdings are non-contiguous and have been operated under long-term leasing arrangements with local farming families over the past decade.
It has productive and versatile farming land suited to broadacre cropping and livestock enterprises.
Both districts are known for their reliability across cereals, oilseeds, legumes, pulses, hay production, prime lamb and wool production.
