"Top End" at Collingullie sold under the hammer for $2.55 million.
Colliers director of agribusiness, Angus Macleod and Alex Croker of H Francis and Co marketed the property, which was known for growing excellent fodder and turning off sale-topping prime lambs.
"It was 469 acres (189.8ha) of good arable country," Mr Macleod said.
"It had good road access and was well supplied with water from dams," he said.
This property had produced award-winning clover hay and was sold by the vendors as a downsizing venture.
Mr Macleod confirmed a local buyer secured the property and there were eight registered bidders during the auction.
He said this sale was a good example of how strong the rural property market is at the moment.
"Rural property has been on the up for a long time."
