Collendina, a 1,267-hectare cattle and grain property in the southern Riverina near Corowa, has joined the rush of spring listings in the Riverina.

It has been listed for November 21 auction through Brian Liston and Phil Rourke at Landmark Albury.

The historic 1891 homestead (pictured) is one of the original holdings on the upper reaches of the Murray River in NSW. The property was initially settled in 1841.

Located 19 kilometres west of Corowa and 68 kilometres west of Albury/Wodonga, Collendina Station has an extensive frontage to the Murray River.

More than $100 million worth of blue-ribbon southern NSW properties has been recently listed for sale.

They join unsold listings including Jillamatong, the 973-hectare holding main listed by supermarket operator Brian Waldron.

His Cowra rural retreat came with initial $8.5 million plus hopes.

Jillamatong, which sits on the Murray River, is listed through Brian Liston at Landmark Albury.

It last traded in 1999 when $2.85 million was paid. It had traded at $1.92 million in 1996. Set about 50 kilometres from Albury in NSW, it is suitable for wool, beef, fat lambs, cereal grains or fodder crops. It has a 1928 homestead designed by A.C. McKnight.
