Warroo also features a well maintained, five bedroom, three bathroom circa late 1800s historic homestead.
The homestead with several formal and social rooms split across two main sections is set in a classical, landscaped country garden with a floodlit tennis court and an in-ground swimming pool.
There is also a manager's residence, three staff cottages, and shearer/backpacker accommodation for an additional 16 people.
Other improvements include a large machinery shed with a skillion and a workshop as well as other storage sheds, hay sheds and fodder/grain storage.
The productive property holds a distinguished position in the pastoral history of Australia.
Warroo Station was established by wool industry pioneer Frederick Bracker in 1849, who is reported to be the first person in Queensland to breed stud sheep.
The Goodrich family, who have owned Warroo since 1911, have a well earned reputation in the sheep and wool industry, including producing the first sub-12 micron wool in history.
Colliers Agribusiness manager Phillip Kelly said Warroo was in 22 freehold titles plus had a small road lease.
"Warroo Station offers scale, supported by very good infrastructure, and established, proven production," Mr Kelly said.
"It is rare to have such a large-scale, quality and proven generational grazing asset come to the market in southern Queensland.
"Purchasers will also benefit from high quality sheep and cattle herds along with full station plant and equipment.
