This unique, versatile, highly productive property covers 69 pasture improved picturesque Hunter Valley acres. Coronation Park nestles at the foot of the Watagan Mountains and is home to the historic "Springdale Homestead". This magnificent property was carefully planned and developed by the late Peter Flynn - renowned for his contribution to the development and expansion of thoroughbred studs throughout the world. Highly regarded for overseeing the construction of Woodlands Stud, Blandford Park, Spendthrift Kentucky, the original Segenhoe Stud, Waratah Stud and Osborne Park Darley, Peter Flynn commenced building Coronation Park for he and his wife’s own horses in 2007. Chosen for its rich alluvial soils, high rain fall, great location, proximity to major sporting, racing and show venues and boasting a mild year-round climate, the stud is cleverly designed and flowing. Coronation Park has bred, raised, shown and been home to hundreds of Australian and American champion equines. Set among stunning established River Gums, tree lined laneways and beautiful rose gardens, the homestead on the property known as "Springdale" was built in the mid 1800’s by the Clifton Family who ran a saw mill that supplied timber to build the prestige homes in Newcastle. Only the finest cedar and mahogany that came through the mill went into the construction of "Springdale" which ran as a beef cattle enterprise, and also supplied the local community with vegetables grown on the property before lately becoming a very successful horse stud. 'Springdale Homestead' underwent extensive restoration/ renovation in 2007 with a known and respected Cottage Craft builder who enlisted master tradesmen, whilst all under the watchful eye of the owners.
