THE biggest property under the State Government's aborted Traveston Dam project is set to hit the market despite an expected loss of up to $12 million.
Bollier Park, a prized 973ha cattle estate, was purchased by the Government for $25.3 million in 2007.
Property experts say it would fetch between $13-16 million in current conditions.
In November, The Courier-Mail revealed the value of the remaining 472 Mary Valley government-owned properties had slumped from $449.5 million to $225 million. The Office of the Coordinator-General, responsible for the long-term management and sale of the estates, is pushing on with a sell-off despite a poor start.
Only two properties have sold - at a combined loss of $253,000.
A spokesman for the Coordinator-General said a dozen - including Bollier Park - would go on the market in coming months.
