Summer Hill Equestrian Centre

One of the most impressive equestrian properties in South Australia, Summer Hill has been designed, planned and built to exacting standards with every detail considered. The quality of the infrastructure is inspiring and will appeal to the whole horse industry. Currently a successful, income-generating agistment facility, it is ideal for multiple uses including riding school, racehorse training and breaking, performance horse training or polo stable, just to name a few.
Nestled in the heart of an established equestrian community, this 100-acre property represents a rare combination of significant rural space and urban proximity, with the Adelaide CBD only 23km to the north.
The location is amazing; en route to the popular McLaren Vale wine region and seaside holiday destination Victor Harbor, a stroll away from the local golf course and Reynella Horse trials on Pine Rd, and a five minute drive to schools, local shopping centres, library, gyms and conveniences. Pine Road is also home to Tangari Park which is open to the public and features natural bush trails for walking, bikes and horse riding.
The property’s two road frontages provide separate access to the equestrian centre and privacy to the comfortable five-bedroom residence with attractive garden setting and in-ground pool.

Property Details
The Equestrian centre is situated on the southern (Bains Rd) side of the property, and the residence is on the north-eastern (Pine Rd) side. A bush-lined valley and creek (with dam) lies between, which also provides riding trails and an access road from the equestrian facility to the house. Currently earning approx $60,000 per annum with huge potential to increase earning capacity.

The drought-proof, self-sufficient water supply is supported by two bores pumping into 2 x 22,500 bore water tanks and ample roof area catchments feeding 2 x 96,000 litre concrete rainwater tanks and 5 pre-fabricated tanks of between 22,000 and 27,000 litres.

It provides 235sqm of comfortable, air-conditioned living space featuring five bedrooms (three with walk in robes, two with ensuites), a large blackwood timber kitchen with walk-in pantry and two separate living areas. The north-facing aspect of the home and picture windows in every room provide an abundance of natural light, and a magnificent outlook over the surrounding bushland. Inviting outdoor living areas include a vine-covered patio overlooking landscaped swimming pool, garden and separate poolside pergola with stunning views.

From the lounge, main bedroom and outdoor areas, views extend over the southern Adelaide plains to the gulf beyond, providing spectacular sunset, sea and city light views.
The outside picture is complemented by the eye-catching warmth of raked western red cedar feature ceilings and the cosy central fireplace in the lounge room, making the home a perfect refuge for intimate gatherings with family and friends.
