Owner Sean Rothsey, 42, largest landholder in the Noosa shire, is moving his operation, known as Merkin Pastoral Land, to the Lake District of the Brisbane Valley, where he purchased the station Eskdale West earlier this year for $2.6 million.
The adjoining Whyamba Station is, according to one real estate observer, "arguably one of the most stunning, multi-million dollar private and exclusive Noosa retreats to be found in this blue-chip precinct".

AS a boy, former Australian prime minister Ben Chifley used to live and play on Black Rock, a fine wool-grazing property 36km north of Bathurst.
"It has a great historical feel while having all the mod-cons," Mr [Yvonne Taylor] said. The property is securely watered, with creeks, dams and springs. It features elevated grazing country and timbered hills overlooking picturesque valleys and lucerne flats.
