Equestrian Complex for Sale in State Highway 3, Marton, New Zealand

Park Like Farm with Equestrian Complex

This 51.65 highly productive flat land is predominantly Marton Silt Loam with some sand. Made up of four separate titles, it is fully fenced into 25 paddocks which are all troughed with the water supply for the farm pumped from the lake. The potential for the land to be used as a dairy supplement and grazing unit is just one of many possibilities. It also has the appeal to be used as a calf rearing facility with the small 6 bay milking shed and a large 319m2 enclosed shed nearby.

Situated on the property is a very impressive equestrian complex including a 24 stable block, 8 outside holding stables and separate saddle-up bays, wash down bays, weighing bay, tack, feed, workshop and smoko rooms. The training facilities include 2 lunging arenas, a 1400 metre all weather training track and an impressive all weather Olympic size dressage arena.
Surrounding the complex are 13 day paddocks all double fenced and sheltered belted. The icing on the cake being an 8 hectare sand block which has the possibility of being converted to another training or eventing area, as well as an all weather grazing block for other farm uses.

The 1900’s 4 bedroom homestead has a real country feel to it. In the kitchen is a free standing fire with wetback to heat the water as well as the large open plan living and dining area. Flowing from the living area is a family paradise with outdoor decking and BBQ area with solar heated in-ground swimming pool. Beside the main homestead is a board and batten clad whare just perfect for the teenagers or to be developed for separate guest accommodation. Enjoy the tranquillity and relax surrounded with the privacy of the parklike settings; this is the ultimate lifestyle package.

Located half way along the 1.5km driveway is a 3 bedroom cottage. This cottage is completely independent from the main homestead, and can be used for staff accommodation or can be developed further with possibilities for a B & B.

When summer comes not only do you have the in ground heated pool, you also have the adjacent lake to enjoy all the fun of canoeing, swimming, including the horses, outdoor BBQs, even camping.

This is an incredible lifestyle opportunity with the ability to generate an income from the associated activities that the property lends itself to.
