This 18 month old dynamically charged rural business is located just a short 13 kilometer drive from Canberra”s rapidly approaching northern suburbs. Excellent pasture improved clover, rye and phalaris grazing land is in harness as one of the best purpose-built race horse training, spelling and equestrian facilities of its range in the region, if not the nation. Planned from the first star picket to be pounded into the ground nothing was left to chance. Every infrastructure detail targeted the needs of the establishment”s client base & future expansions to the client numbers & facility activities. The facility”s layout is clean, crisp & professional. 44 paddocks of varying sizes distributed to the north, south, east & west of the 40 acres are connected via a professionally built circuit road with a proven capacity to take the heavy horse transports. Paddock block configurations range from a row of 1 acre through to 80 acres, with purpose built foaling paddocks as a quality addition. All paddocks are equipped with day shelters or closed stables, gravity fed water troughs, plus 1st class horse safety fencing topped with caps, sighter & hot wires, in additional to signature safety gates and post and rail entrances. There”s also an expansive 80 acre parkland alive with all varieties of birdlife, and 50 acres of additional prime grazing land with improved pastures of rye, clover and phalaris, and a creek though the centre. The trees are protected by post and rail tree guards and the dams have been fenced off into recreational areas, a fabulous place to spread out a rug & sip on a hot heady “cuppa” after a successful workout. The centre of the equestrian allotment where the 7 larger paddocks are located is currently in use to spell racehorses & provide grazing rotation. This area also has a dam & could be divided up into additional small paddocks. In addition there is a laser leveled 80m x 40m washed river sand outdoor post and rail arena & adjacent round yard joined via a funnel gate that can separate the arena or include. A perfect training area for horses. Next to the out door arena there”s a fully prepared 70m x 30m base and sub-base with drainage and phone line, water bore and power easement to accommodate a future indoor arena or North Facing Mansion overlooking the Equestrian Grounds. Potential to continue and expand with ease to the existing equestrian development is considerable. All the hard work is done. The 60 acres adjacent to the equine allotment would make an ideal equestrian annex if additional space was needed, or alternatively some of the existing paddocks could be sectioned to fit more ajistees onto the existing allotment. Also, sections of the adjacent timbered block could be divided into paddocks (part of which is currently in use for stallions). Whilst horses constitute the property”s core activity, diversification could play a major role in the property”s future. The flat fertile 60 acres at the entrance of the property would make an ideal Lucerne paddock producing enough bales to sell to the facility”s client base & to outside consumers. Capable of carrying 4DSE (approx) this area would also be ideal for fattening purposes. The 80 acres of well shaded parkland would suit cattle & supporting paddock rotation role. There are 3 dams on the property & additional gravity fed troughs can be installed at various distributed points around the 6km underground water system. The fully-enclosed North facing house block is sighted towards the rear of this park land & has a very sweet early 1900′s 3 bedroom 2 bathroom, weatherboard cottage with an attached double garage & laundry room. The homestead is very comfortable & fits into its surrounds nicely. In addition to the current homestead there”s an approval to build a 2nd dwelling on the property, and plans have been approved for the Arena. A pad with underground electricity, telephone, water tank and sewage has already been installed to accommodate a home. The centre has become a friendly gathering point for a lot of the local horse fraternity where they can relax & chat about the latest happenings. The softly beautiful rural setting provides an ideal escape venue from the rigors of city living, especially since it”s just a short drive from the suburbs. Essentially this modern facility provides a sensational opportunity for a buyer with a commercially biased passion for horses & rural development, or a rural buyer who wants the benefit of additional vibrant incomes from an established business.
