am working on a java project where am using ant as build tool.

I have two .property files say build_local and build_env. When I build the project through ant it should use build_local properties file and when am building the project for environment it should overwrite the build_local and use build_env.

Thanks in advance for any help. It would be great if you could post some references.

Have you seen this example where you can pass arguments to ant build file. How do I pass an argument to an Ant task?

So in your case for local build use 

ant -Denv=build_local -f your_antfile.xml

For non local files call

 ant -Denv=build_env -f your_antfile.xml

Needless to say in your_antfile.xml you need to refer the properties files as "${env}.properties"
