Live 10 minutes from Hobart on 150 acres of fabulous riding trails and equestrian facilities
For the ultimate equestrian experience and lifestyle, you cannot surpass this magnificent property, with its fabulous facilities custom designed for Horse Breeders and/or Equestrian riders. Well reputed for its quality facilities and beautiful riding trails, this established equestrian and agistment centre known as ‘Cheval Equitation’ is ideal as a family property. Divided into 30 paddocks, ranging from quarter acre paddocks to 9 acres in size and able to accommodate up to 35 horses comfortably with excellent demand for agistment at the centre, this property allows you to live your dream and have ample water supply (town and tank water on site). With 2 full sized arenas, corrals, 6 covered holding stalls, hay sheds, 5 stables, stallion yards, a wash bay, a huge tack shed and 20 kms of well maintained riding trails across mixed terrain, this is a haven for any horse rider.
Canter along the trails that lead up from the creeks edge to the highest point on the property overlooking the valley and bushland below. Feel the exhilaration of weaving through the well manicured trails on horseback in the beautiful bush setting or negotiating the show jumps in one of the two full sized arenas. Or for the less energetic, just enjoy the smell and experiences of what it is to be around horses whether washing them down in the wash bay, brushing them in the stalls or watching them as they relax in their paddock.
The property has a multitude of options: it can be operated purely as an agistment centre; the arena/s can be hired out to professional riding instructors; operate your horse stud from here; run trail riding groups for business and school groups; or just to move out of suburbia and enjoy the space and privacy! The options are exciting and endless.
In addition to the equine accommodation, there is a substantial log cabin home that is designed to be private, practical and functional. Surprisingly deceptive – adding to the immense appeal of this home – it caters for all these needs, being surrounded by a well established garden and being all on the one level. The living areas are extremely spacious and has a great homely feel. The galley style kitchen looks across the enormous lounge/dining area as well as out onto the front and rear garden areas.
The three main bedrooms are at one wing of the home and include an en-suite off the master bedroom. There is an additional study and huge rumpus come fourth bedroom with its own entry/exit to outside leading from the main living room – perfect for teenagers/guests or a caretaker. Heated by a combination of wood, underfloor and electric reverse cycle heating, the home is more than comfortable all year round.
With one third of the 60.8 hectares of land (approx. 150 acres) as pasture, the residual of the property utilizes its mixed zoning.
