Four local farming families have emerged from a sale process with a handy piece of highly regarded Clare regional property Campbell View.
Shawn and Louise Cadzow were said to be "absolutely thrilled" with the prices offered for their family's land at Washpool which is now in the process of settlement.
Prices offered for the four parcels even bettered the recent boom farm sale results in the region in a range offered from $16,000-$20,000 a hectare.
Daniel Schell from Ray White Rural said some of the land had been held within the Cadzow family name for five generations.
The sale of Campbell View was considered a rare opportunity to purchase farming land in this renowned and tightly held region.
Agents said they had received 11 "very strong" expression of interest submissions for the outstanding property.
