660 Petrie Creek Road, Rosemount QLD 4560
On its 11.8-acre site, this property doesn’t just “allow” horses, it’s designed for them. The infrastructure here shows attention to both the horses’ welfare and the owner’s lifestyle.
Stables & Shelters
There are 4 purpose-built stables, each with lighting. Added to that are 4 horse shelters for when full stalls aren’t needed or when horses want more open air cover. These give flexibility for rotating use, seasonal comfort, or different needs by horse. Horse Property
Paddocks
Six fully fenced paddocks are provided, plus a large open paddock suitable for riding, turnout or other equine activities. Having multiple paddocks means pastures can be rested, different horses can be separated, and the land can be managed for health and durability. Horse Property
Arena
A 20 × 40 metre sand arena is part of the equine infrastructure. That’s a very usable size for schooling, dressage work, lunging, and general riding training. Sand footing helps with safer landings and more forgiving gait work. Horse Property
Tack, Feed & Wash-down Facilities
The property includes a tack & feed room, essential for keeping gear, feed, and supplies organised and secure. There is a wash-down area as well, so maintenance of horses can happen on-site under good conditions. Horse Property
Water & Support Facilities
Several water tanks are integrated: a large 166,000-litre underground concrete tank plus three tanks of 22,500 litres each. A reliable water supply is key for horses, both for drinking and for facility maintenance. Horse Property
Also fencing is extensive, which contributes to safety and good paddock separation. Horse Property
Design & Practicality
The layout, materials, and location of these facilities show thoughtful planning:
Accessibility & Convenience: The horse facilities are placed so that movement between paddocks, shelters, the stable and the arena is efficient. Lighting in stables means early mornings or late afternoons are more manageable. Horse Property
Flexibility: Multiple shelters + fully enclosed stables allow mix-and-match usage depending on weather, horse behaviour, or workload. For instance, when the weather’s hot or wet, shelters and wash-down area become very important. The large open paddock also provides freedom of movement for horses.
Quality of Infrastructure: The sand arena, the concrete water storage, well fenced paddocks, and sheltered structures all suggest durability in harsher conditions. These are not “minimal” facilities; they’re elevated.
Potential Challenges or Things to Check
While the horse facilities are excellent, as any top reporter would point out, there are always things one should verify in person:
Arena Drainage and Sand Depth: Is the sand footing of the arena deep and well-maintained, especially after heavy rains? Poor drainage can lead to dangerous muck or wear.
