Inside the post and rail entrance and over the cattle grid, this glorious 69 acre (28 hectares) property known as “Ravenswood” also has many legends in its history, being the first horse stud in Australia to import the world renowned Lipizzaner performing horses. Aside from the superb scenic countryside, the standout attraction is the incredible all weather high clearance 42x20m indoor horse arena with viewing gallery seating approximately 200 spectators, complete with lighting and 3 phase power. During a recent storm, whilst most keen horse riders could only sit indoors and watch another rerun of Black Beauty, the local girls pictured in one of the photos here were enjoying a ride indoors whilst it was raining ‘cats and dogs’ outside.
Equine accommodation features 11 stables, 7 measuring 12×12 feet, 4 measuring 15×12 feet, all with automatic water troughs, inbuilt feeders & hay racks. Facilities include tack room, 2 feed rooms, and plumbed hot/cold water wash bay. Additional livestock features include yards, 25 paddocks all with water, raceways, round yards, work arena, 6 stallion yards, breeding facilities and excellent electric fencing. Excellent pastures all fertilized organically. Last season 6 hectares provided 120 round bales of hay.
Riders and spectators can be well catered for with full canteen facilities including fully functioning kitchen, dining areas, male and female ablution blocks, and 5 bunkrooms for overnight visitors.
The solid brick double garage seems too fancy for your vehicles, and is crying out to be transformed to a guest room. There’s also a 9x6m implement shed.
Ravenswood also offers a comfortable colonial style 130m2 three bedroom managers residence built in the 1970′s located a short walk through enchanting gardens from the indoor arena. Features include updated bathroom with separate toilet & laundry, built in wardrobes, linen cupboard, tiling and floating floorboards, open plan kitchen with pantry, dining room and lounge area. Warm yourself by the cosy slow combustion heater.
In the summer at the end of your working day, enjoy the perfume from the fragrant garden in the early evening as your day’s work is done when you walk past the garden with creepers shading the
western side of the home, then relax on the raised decking overlooking glorious country views. With plenty of room to entertain your friends, they will think you’re living in the land flowing with milk and honey as you fire up your barbeque and rustle up a feed of yabbies caught in your own spring fed dam.
Desserts can be selected from your own fruit orchard, with apples, stone fruits, citrus & various berries. Pavlova ingredients can be sourced from your own chook yards.
Water is in abundance, with 3 concrete (approx 20,000 Gallons or 90,000L each) and 2 poly tanks, springs and dams.
Not only is this property a wonderful lifestyle choice, it also has lots of further income generating potential. Previous enterprises on this site include the aforementioned horse stud, agistment for horses, sheep, cattle and riding clinics. Subject to Council consent, there is lots of further scope to capitalise on passing trade.
