Comprising approximately 455.08 hectares (1,124 acres), Quamby features predominantly flat to gently undulating basalt and red loam soils that are contoured throughout and largely arable.

Water is a key strength of Quamby, with nine dams, three equipped with electric, solar and petrol pumps, providing a dependable stock and domestic water supply. Water is reticulated to eight troughs and the homestead gardens, ensuring reliable distribution across the property throughout the year. The property is divided into approximately 25 main paddocks, with predominantly hinge-joint fencing complemented by sections of netting fencing. Many paddocks feature double gateways, supporting efficient livestock handling and rotational grazing.
Currently operated as a productive mixed farming enterprise, Quamby offers the flexibility to efficiently run either sheep or cattle enterprises while maintaining a balanced cropping program.
