Set on 61 acres (approx.) just a short distance from Balnarring Village resides magnificent “Lakelands Thoroughbred Farm”, a first class agistment facility that has provided respite to some of Australia’s most notable Group 1 horses including 2015 Melbourne Cup runners. Set securely behind a grand tree-lined driveway, the property is crowned with a stunning Harkaway Home with swimming pool elevated to oversee the superb surroundings and stunning spring fed lake with island and two ornamental dams. Displaying a wonderful modern country atmosphere, the immaculate interior features soaring open-plan living areas with large windows drawing the greenery indoors. A series of French doors in the living room with a feature gas fireplace flow out to a fabulous alfresco entertaining area with a swimming pool for long hours of enjoyment with family and friends. French doors in the dining area merge with the deep wrap-around verandah positioned to protect the home from harsh summer sun; while letting warming winter sunshine penetrate the interior. The spacious granite kitchen is the true hub of the home with its long island bench beneath feature pendant lighting, quality appliances and enormous farmhouse style walk-in pantry; while a study is located to overlook the land. The main bedroom with verandah access, walk-in robe and sublime en suite complements a separate four-bedroom wing, each with built-in robes, and a stunning fully-tiled bathroom with freestanding bath. Reverse-cycle air conditioning, powder room and engineered timber flooring add to the overall excellence. The property is based on New Zealand’s Cambridge Stud to provide large paddock areas lined with trees for shelter and linked by laneways with spring fed irrigation to every paddock. The property is divided into 30 paddocks all with top-quality safety rail electric fencing. A large barn with three-phase power and a concrete floor integrates three stables and machinery storage alongside a horse wash and two holding yards. Continue the tradition as one of Melbourne’s most respected agistment businesses or simply utalise as an irreplaceable lifestyle property suited to a range of agricultural options.
