It is the largest landed estate in the world owned by a private individual. Usually land of such great extent belong to a state. Obviously many have expressed interest in acquiring this huge property, such as Chinese and Japanese, but requests for purchase involvement were received from the United States, Sweden and Switzerland.

It is a land that until now has been used for the breeding of livestock that only to inspect it takes with the plane more than 10 days. Even today, the Kidman family produces 1.3% of exports of Australian beef. The company’s founder Mr. Sidney Kidman at the time was called the “KING OF CATTLE” died in 1935 he left everything to his four sons and the property has remained firmly in the hands of the family for five generations without ever accumulating debts. The size of the territory is very functional for the company as it allows to bring the cattle from the North and South of the continent following the course of rivers with increasing availability of water and forage along the way.

Whatever happens it will be remembered in time as an exceptional sale bearing in mind the extent of the territory also easily identifiable on a map at the same strequa of a medium-sized nation.
