Last Listing description (April 2020)
Perfectly positioned for easy access to Koo Wee Rup township, only 15 minutes to Pakenham Racecourse, with riding trails at your front gate and beaches just down the road, this stunning almost 20 acre working property encompasses rural lifestyle and abundant business opportunities. As you enter through stylish electric gates and a sweeping driveway, the quality and extent of the infrastructure is apparent.
THE HOME:
Recently renovated, this modern country home includes wrap around veranda and open plan kitchen, dining and lounge with versatile floor plan. The kitchen with island bench and high quality appliances including induction cook-top will impress. There are four bedrooms - three in the family area of the home, master with dressing room and a further two with built in robes. The fourth larger bedroom is off the large adjoining indoor living/entertainment are which overlooks the pool. The bathroom has a circular bathtub and separate shower. Refrigerated heating and cooling, 2 x split systems and a wood heater control climate all year round. A flexible setup, to accommodate multi-generational living, teenagers or guests.
The gardens surrounding the home are private with established cypress trees sheltering the home from wind, a lawn area for play and flourishing rose beds surround the veranda.
THE ENTERTAINMENT:
The centrepiece of the garden is a 20m x 8m solar-heated Albatross pool with Travertine paving. This is easily accessed by the indoor entertaining area comprising two rumpus/living/dining areas separated by bi-fold doors, perfect for a pool party or simply extra space for daily life. A fully fenced playground with Australia's only residential Jumping Pillow and quality wood play equipment guarantees fun for the kids.
THE HORSES:
A practical layout of laneways to the 14 paddocks with gates to ensure zoning and safety, with electric fencing, and water troughs pumped from Bunyip River. Irrigation to the paddocks ensures year-round pasture and most paddocks include loose boxes.
The two arenas are extremely high quality with the main arena of enormous proportions at 100m x 80m being easily visible from the roadside corner location, ideal for event and clinic exposure. A warm up lap around the fenced arena area as well as 16 yards adjacent to the entrance provide the perfect setup for events. A second generous training arena of 60m x 30m is 400mm deep, ideal for intense training. Both arenas are surfaced with quality Shady Creek Suregrip sand, have exceptional drainage and are fully floodlit, ideal for year-round training.
A floodlit round-yard of 17m with rubber-lined kick walls is well positioned next to the two wash bays and two-stable block. A top of the range 6-horse Priefert walker/trotter imported from America and three covered day-yards provide holding space whilst loading and unloading horses. A lunchroom/club room/office for educational use or event administration backs onto the stable block.
A large garage by the home provides space for 4 cars, or caravans, floats, goose-necks or trailers. There is plenty of turning space to allow easy movement of large vehicles.
Full camera surveillance over the whole property, water capacity with a 250 litre tank servicing the house plus two smaller tanks, as well as pumping rights from Bunyip River ensuring irrigation and grazing all year round. As a business opportunity or simply to come home to, this property has it all. With nothing more to do, are you ready to saddle up and get going?
