Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

Pinecrest in Bright in Central Victoria has been listed with buyer interest tipped at around $3 million.
Pinecrest on Toorak Road is considered the gem of the town's premier residential properties, according to Dickens Real Estate agent Gerard Gray and Mario Paola.
Gray said he is expecting circa $3 million range, given the commercial development potential of the 1.5 hectare property.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-bright-127237970" target="_blank">brick family home on Toorak Road</a> belongs to former Sydneysiders Andrew and Sue Bamford, who moved to Bright in the 90s and bought the town's largest caravan park.
In 2001 they bought the original Pinecrest estate that included only a small cottage used as a holiday house with stables.
The main residence with 380 sqm under roof has three bedrooms, four bathrooms and a large formal and informal living space.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/1/15/pine2.jpg" alt="">
An additional building features a large doubled sided open fireplace, private entertaining bar, a dedicated home theatre room and a personal gym.
A swimming pool and tennis court sit on the grounds, as does a self-contained two bedroom guest accomodation.
There are over 100 established ornamental trees on the parcel.
Gray says that Pinecrest is a property for lovers of style, character, warmth and a touch of grandeur and is all centrally located and accessible in Bright, one of Victoria’s strongest tourist and getaway towns with excellent lifestyle, seasonal and business attractions.
“With its extensive scale and established vegetation and resort like facilities I consider that Pinecrest will appeal to a buyer seeking the best of living in regional Victoria.
“A developer would also see the opportunities here in terms of subdivision, potentially for a series of prestige allotments, even perhaps the creation of a high quality gated residential community, or a more commercial resort style or lifestyle living project by accessing the enabling permits.
“I am anticipating the Pinecrest will be sought by a family wanting a permanent or part time living experience that takes in the best that Bright, or the valley environments of north east Victoria can offer.
“We expect to attract developer interest with a project concept that takes in the undoubted potential of a great location with a large level site that affords a land banking or project option.

Inglebar and Woolpress, two adjoining properties at Baddaginnie near Benalla, have been listed for sale.
The holdings adjacent to the Hume Freeway have been consolidated and farmed as a beef breeding and grazing enterprise by a Melbourne based owner since 1966.
They have been developed in terms of infrastructure and farming services, pasture development and water resources.
Ruralco Property agent Michael Everard says that the vendor acquired Inglebar almost 52 years ago and then bought the adjoining Woolpress holding having acquired as well a herd of Angus heifers carrying the impressive Landfall Angus bloodlines from Tasmania.
“Subsequently an Angus herd has been built up without the introduction of any outside bloodlines or breeder cows that today could be up to 350 cows.
“The owner often elects to run on a substantial number of steers so that he has the ability to meet market demands including a long association he has formed with a prominent feedlot.
“A recent shipment leaving the property for the feedlot amounted to 115 steers”.
The property is held in sixteen allotments and has excellent water resources with some twenty paddock dams.
There is a gravity feed stock trough system throughout the twenty three paddock subdivision operated as a pressurised system.
There are double frontages to the Woolpress and Folly Creeks.
An effective laneway layout traverses the holding affording all weather stock movement for access to the cattle yards and for heavy vehicles.
Significant investment has been made in pasture improvement with a regular fertilizer and lime regime and introduction of ryegrass and phalaris based pastures.
The vendor says that the current four hay sheds are fully stocked and he has already cut another 428 big bales off two paddocks in recent weeks that are now also under cover.
The significant installed infrastructure includes the hay storage facilities a fully operating set of steel and timber cattle yards plus a feed pad or weaner cattle yard area that is based on a sloping crushed rock surface with a 14 bale capacity feeder.
There is also a shearing shed and a set of sheep yards.
There are an additional two large enclosed machinery sheds plus fuel and pump sheds with all farm buildings having concrete floors and mains power connected and most capture rainwater into adjacent tank storages.
A family brick homestead located on the Woolpress portion has three double sized bedrooms with all services and facilities and has undergone an extensive renovation to open up all living and service spaces, to enable double glazed windows and doors to be added and has an area of 241 sqm, with a carport adding another 50 sqm.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/11/27/INGEBAR2.jpg" alt="">
The vendor affirms that the home provides very comfortable living inclusive of connected NBN, extensive domestic rainwater storage and it affords extensive exposure to local features including the distant Strathbogie Ranges.
Ruralco's Michael Everard says that the property has been ideally set up to meet the interests of the vendor who has combined a business career and extensive personal interests and regular travel with a lifetime interest in farming.
“There are good local contractors available to undertake all the seasonal on property tasks while a local farmer provides part time supervision and management services.
“The Inglebar-Woolpress farm combination is 200m kms from the City meaning the commute for a city based owner is two and a half hours all by the Hume Freeway.
“The buyer options here include full time hands on cattle breeding or sheep grazing, or strong appeal for a business person who wishes to have active input into the major farm enterprise decisions as well as enjoying all the pluses of rural living to suit.
“Whilst the Inglebar and Woolpress farms are uniquely set up there is still scope to further develop the productivity and for the purchaser to derive great personal satisfaction from implementing a new project
“Our vendor has indicated his willingness to consider a property exchange for ‘a large paddock on the Mornington Peninsula’ where he can teach his grandson the joys of cattle as well as horses” Everard says.

A Western Division pastoral property, Moorna Station is being marketed by CBRE on behalf of the Walsh family, who have held the historic property since 1983.
Expressions of interest for <a href="https://property.cbre.com.au/properties/465-rufus-river-road-wentworth-nsw-2648/" target="_blank">Moorna Station</a> close on October 27, with offers expected to be submitted on the high side of $8 million. 
Moorna Station, in the lower Murray region, is a sustainable grazing operation supplemented by cropping, with further potential for more intensive development, including irrigated horticulture and viticulture.
Situated 30 kilometres west of Wentworth, fronting the north bank of the Murray River, Moorna Station is 18,896 hectares.
The property was one of the first to be settled on the lower Murray when it was taken up in 1846 by Ned Bagot, at about twice its present size.
In 1850 the station changed hands to E.B. Scott, who built the first homestead before selling in 1862 to John Crozier, whose extended family stayed until 1939.
It was then bought by a syndicate of South Australian interests including the Hawker family of Bungaree Merino stud, who introduced their bloodlines to the 70-year-old Moorna stud.
In 1972 Moorna was acquired by Douglas Morphett, who divided the property in two when reselling in 1978, the eastern section becoming Warrananga, while the homestead block was bought by David Hawker, who sold to the present owners.
The Moorna homestead, erected in 1869 by William Crozier was expanded by his brother-in-law Ben Chaffey in 1912.
Set in established gardens beside the Murray River, the rendered brick homestead of 10 bedrooms comprises three wings with a central courtyard.

Owners Brian and Kim Smith have successfully built the business in only a few years. 
It trades as Greta Valley Free Range Pork and holds all the necessary Council permits and is APIQ Free Range Certified an adverse turn in their health has brought their property and the pork enterprise for sale.
Kim Smith said that the Council permit to operate as an outdoor rotational or free-range pig production centre is of considerable value as permits of this type are expensive to obtain and are as rare as the proverbial hen’s teeth.
The farm has both permanent and temporary farrowing sheds with heaters, creep areas and adjoining paddocks. There is a large eco-shelter where the pigs have access to four adjoining paddocks, plus there are up to 35 portable farrowing shelters or huts that are skid mounted for easy transfer.
The pig paddocks are regularly soil tested and managed with pasture or cereals to provide an ideal environment and are currently judged to be at dairy farm fertility.
There are 65 paddocks around a laneway access system.
Pat Rice &amp; Hawkins selling agent Matt Childs says that Greta Valley Free Range Pork is an established quality brand name and the product is sought for their quality.
"With the Smith’s wanting to retire there is an opportunity here for the purchaser to take the enterprise to the next level.
The Greta Valley Free Range Pigs are sold to the domestic accredited abattoir in nearby Benalla where they are processed, packed and delivered to a selection of quality butcher or meat retailers and restaurant clients in Melbourne.
Their pork is available on a retail basis at major Melbourne markets like Prahran and many retail butcher shops and locally in the north-east region with most of the resellers having standing orders for their desired number of pigs each week.

Free range pork farm in Victoria's Greta West listed with $2 million hopes

<html><body>
Seven Group executive chairman Kerry Stokes and cattleman Peter Murray are selling the largest farming portfolio on South Australia's Kangaroo Island, estimated to nearly $50 million. 
The cattle, sheep and cropping aggregation on the 7,821 hectare Cygnet Park Farms, which Stokes and his long-time business partner have accumulated over the past decade, comes to market at a time when prime farmland values are rising, especially properties with beef, lamb and wool production.
The listing is being handled by Elders Real Estate with The Australian Financial Review citing industry sources as saying the farming portfolio could be valued as high as $50 million.
The portfolio is being offered on a walk in, walk out basis in one line or in individual allotments, contingent upon the remainder of the portfolio being sold. 
Like billionaire Stokes, mining tycoon Gina Rinehart and retailers Brett Blundy and Gerry Harvey have all been investing in agricultural assets in recent years.
The offering includes a herd of about 3300 cattle and 15,700 sheep and is expected to attract interest from international corporate investors and local farming groups. 
The island is famous for its local produce, which is marketed under the "Kangaroo Island" brand and is in much demand in Asia.
First established in 2007 under Murray, the aggregation has been steadily expanded over the years. In June 2015, Woodlana Station, a 2,823 hectare landholding at Cassini on the island's central north coast was acquired for $4.7 million.
Previously, in 2010, the pair acquired Clifton Downs, a 550 hectare grazing property on Kangaroo Island. Other properties in the portfolio include Long Hill Station.
Murray, one of Australia's most experienced cattlemen, said he had decided to bring the portfolio to market in order to focus on other business interests as he transitions into retirement. He turns 81 next month.
"I am very proud of the quality portfolio of both real estate and livestock assets that we have built in one of the world's most pristine agricultural environments. I will retain a smaller portfolio of properties on the Island moving forward as I remain convinced it is one of the best livestock production regions in Australia and has enormous opportunities to deliver high margin, quality produce to the world."
For the 77-year-old Stokes, the Cygnet Park Farms listing comes as he and other media moguls look to re-position their empires ahead of the relaxation of media ownership rules.
Last month Stokes' Seven Group Holdings, which owns 41 per cent of Seven West Media, sold its WestTrac China heavy machinery dealership for $540 million with plans to reinvest the proceeds back into Australia.
 Elders Real Estate general manager Tom Russo said the opportunity to acquire a portfolio of this scale in the Kangaroo Island region was unprecedented.
"There is currently unprecedented demand for clean, traceable food products in the Asia-Pacific region and further abroad. Kangaroo Island is ideally positioned to respond to this demand given its unique agricultural setting, enhanced biosecurity, GM free status and unpolluted environment,” said Russo.
"Given their proximity, the Cygnet Park Farms properties can be operated separately or as a whole,” he added.
Stokes and Murray are also invested on the South Australian mainland. In 2007, they purchased the Balquhidder Station, a sprawling 3000-hectare cattle property at Parawa for more than $20 million in 2007.
In 2009, they bought neighbouring Mt Scrub, a 660-hectare grazing property, for about $5 million.

Media mogul Kerry Stokes lists Kangaroo Island farm portfolio

Norman Farming's 18,028 hectare Kalanga and Mobandilla farmland in the Border Rivers region has been listed for sale with expectations over $100 million.
According to reports in The Land, the properties have historically grown about 40,000 bales of cotton each year.
Norman Farming was the Australian Cotton Grower of the Year in 2010.
John Norman told The Land they have been looking to sell for some time
"The recent sale process of the Sustainable Agriculture Fund's farms and the general talk about where farmland values are have encouraged us," he said.
"We think this is the right time to be selling.
"It was hard to tell my son that we are selling because I want him to become a seventh generation farmer, but we are not stopping farming.
"We will look for something new to farm once a sale is complete."
The Norman family purchased Kalanga in 1981, and have added around 5000ha of highly developed flood irrigation country through further buys.
CBRE Agribusiness regional director, Danny Thomas, and senior director, Duncan McCulloch are selling the property through an international expressions of interest campaign.
Mr Thomas said no expense has been spared in the development of the aggregations, which has significantly increased their productivity through expansion of land area and redevelopment of irrigation fields as well as the introduction of bankless channel irrigation and efficient water management.
