Accommodation comprises three spacious bedrooms, including a generous master suite complete with walk-in robe and ensuite. A central bathroom and well-appointed laundry further enhance the practical floorplan. There is also a spacious mud room, that could be converted to a potential fourth bedroom, games room or as a teenagers retreat as there is a power and water connected.
Lovingly renovated and immaculately presented, the home offers immediate comfort while still providing scope to further personalise and add value over time if required.
Outside is where this exceptional equestrian property truly shines.
Purposefully designed with horses in mind, the impressive 20m x 60m sand arena provides the perfect space for schooling, training and riding year-round.
Complementing the arena is an outstanding range of equine infrastructure including quality stables, a dedicated tack room, day yards and a generous round yard (approx. 18m), creating a practical and highly functional setup for horse owners of all disciplines.
The property has been thoughtfully established for efficient horse management, featuring 8 well-fenced paddocks ideal for rotational grazing, spelling and accommodating multiple horses. Water is available to every paddock, ensuring reliable year-round supply and simplifying day-to-day operations.
Fertile pastures provide excellent grazing, helping horses thrive while reducing the need for supplementary feeding.
For those who love to venture beyond the arena, the property's location offers access to fantastic trail riding opportunities, with kilometres of scenic tracks and quiet country rides to explore right on your doorstep.
Whether your interests lie in dressage, pleasure riding, endurance, breeding, training young stock or simply enjoying the freedom of riding at home, this property delivers the ideal combination of quality equine facilities and a sought-after country lifestyle.
Adding further appeal is a picturesque dam stocked with yabbies, providing a peaceful setting for family picnics, recreation and relaxed afternoons by the water.
Practicality has not been overlooked, with over 100,000 litres (approx.) of water storage, extensive machinery and workshop shedding complete with hot and cold water, a 6kW (approx.) solar power system, and an established orchard featuring an abundance of fruit trees.
