Description
Substantial equine facilities, subdivision potential, and highly functional accommodation options define this remarkable 8.1-hectare estate, superbly positioned between Rolleston and West Melton. Offering an array of lifestyle and investment opportunities, this property caters to horse enthusiasts, developers, and those seeking multi-generational living or additional rental income.
The main residence is a four bedroom home with neutral décor. A light-filled central living area opens to a generous deck, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. Climate control is ensured with a logburner, heatpump, heat transfer system and double glazing. Two bathrooms service the home, ensuring comfort and convenience for all. At the back of the main residence is a fully fenced two bedroom cottage (Cottage 1). Also near the main residence is a one-bedroom Portacom with a kitchenette, toilet, heatpump and fenced garden which provides accommodation flexibility. An additional two-bedroom cottage (Cottage 2), is located near the training track. This residence is complete with a covered deck, heat pump and log burner, offering a private retreat-ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. A cosy games room and bar (converted from a shed/games room) with logburner, has an unconsented kitchen and bathroom. This is a fabulous space offering flexibility of use.
Previously operated as a harness racing establishment and now running as a dual standardbred/thoroughbred horse training facility, the property boasts premier racing and equestrian infrastructure, including:
- 760m oval sand training track
- 60m x 25m all-weather sand arena with four adjoining day yards
- Stable block with five stables, hot water wash bay, and tack room
- Two walk-in, walk-out yards
- Three-bay hay shed, implement sheds, and tool and wood sheds
- Nineteen additional paddocks and a separate lunging ring
With established shelter belts, the property is accessible via three separate entrances and has subdivision potential. For investors, the property currently generates strong rental income, with tenants in Cottage 1 and Cottage 2 each paying $380 per week. The main house could potentially be tenanted for $650 per week.
Whether you're seeking a premier equestrian estate, a lucrative rental investment, a development opportunity, or continue in the current successful horse training capacity, this property offers unparalleled possibilities. With offshore commitments already in place, the owners motivation is labelled urgent.
