With the thoroughbred industry in Victoria gravitating toward the new Pakenham racecourse in recent years, an excellent opportunity to purchase an established well-improved quality horse property has come on the market.
Significantly, the property has two titles presenting options and opportunities to its successful new owners.
An ideal racing/breeding and agistment property, this property would ideally suit a race horse trainer or an avid horse family located just 16 kilometres to Pakenham Racing Club.
The training track is approximately 900-meters long offering the opportunity to exercise at home conveniently and safely.
The property features a stable complex with two large stable boxes, feed/tack room, float/car bay, outside office for clients, round yard, loading race, holding yards and a 20x40-meter arena with a solid base that just needs a new surface could be utilised.

There are nine loose boxes in the paddocks for shelter as well as established tree shelter belts. A large two-bay hay shed provides substantial storage.
Significantly, water is not a problem with two dams, a bore plus three x 2,300-litre tanks. All paddocks have water available and an abundance of improved pasture ensuring quality feed.
Pakenham is approx 15 minutes and Cranbourne less than 30 minutes travelling time.
A substantial family homestead was built around 1910 and features beautiful high ceilings, leadlight features, shiplap walls and ceilings with dado panel to walls.
