Let's Live... Let's Ride! Set on approximately 2.58 hectares (6.37 acres) of beautifully established, park-like grounds, this impressive equestrian property on tightly held Parkview Drive delivers a lifestyle where comfort, functionality, and a passion for horses come together seamlessly. A picturesque entrance via an ornamental pin-oak and silver birch lined driveway creates an immediate sense of arrival, leading to a substantial country residence surrounded by European-inspired gardens, sweeping lawns, and a charming freestanding gazebo ideal for outdoor entertaining. The four-bedroom home, crafted in sandstone-look brick with striking coined corner detailing, is designed for space and versatility. Wide verandahs extend across both the front and rear, offering year-round enjoyment and multiple vantage points across the property. Inside, the heart of the home is a generous country kitchen, thoughtfully appointed with a 900mm cooktop, 600mm stainless steel oven, dishwasher, walk-in pantry with water point, central island bench, and a built-in kitchen hutch that enhances both storage and character. The adjoining dining zone flows into a formal sunken lounge complete with a Coonara wood fire, creating a warm and inviting space, while a separate family/rumpus room with built-in bookcases provides flexibility for those working from home or accommodating a growing family. Quality finishes include slate flooring, blackwood timber cabinetry, and an abundance of natural light throughout. Modern comforts are well covered with Starlink, ducted vacuum, ducted gas heating, four split-system heating and cooling units, ceiling fans, LED lighting, highly efficient Sanden heat pump HWS, a 10kW solar system with inverter, and the reassurance of a 9kW backup generator. Large sliding doors open onto the extra-wide rear verandah, perfectly positioned to overlook the gardens and spectacular westerly sunsets. The master suite is privately set and generously proportioned, featuring timber floors, a walk-in robe, and a spacious ensuite with double vanity and corner spa. At the opposite end of the home, three additional bedrooms all with built-in robes are serviced by a central bathroom and separate w/c. A large, functional laundry with extensive storage, including two double linen cupboards, a double garage under the main roof with additional storage space plus remote control roller doors complete the home's practical design. Outdoors, the property continues to impress with lifestyle features including a fox-proof chicken enclosure/or dog yard draped in jasmine, adding charm and utility in equal measure. However, it is the equestrian infrastructure that truly sets this property apart. The all-weather, Olympic-size 60m x 20m arena is fully floodlit and finished with a premium river sand and rubber blend surface, ensuring excellent performance underfoot. It includes professional installed Jarrett mirrors along the short side, purpose-built jump storage, and neatly arranged show-jumping pole racks, all framed by established hedging for both function and aesthetics. The land is thoughtfully divided into seven paddocks, predominantly fenced with hardwood timber, with the front paddock enhanced by equi-mesh foal fencing and a double loose box setup ideal for foaling. Two summer overflow paddocks for extra grazing and a network of safe laneways allows for efficient horse movement throughout the property. Additional features include a natural catchment dam, plus dedicated cross-country elements such as a ditch and water jump perfect for training across multiple disciplines including eventing, carriage driving, or pleasure riding. Equine facilities are extensive and well-designed, including five additional timber-lined loose boxes at the rear, each serviced by rainwater tanks and automatic waterers. There are also visitor day yards and a substantial 16m round yard with timber and rubber lining and 1.8m high fencing, providing a safe and professional training environment. Over the winter months there is sufficient outdoor lighting to enable safe feeding and rugging of your prized equines. Supporting infrastructure includes a large stable and machinery shed with paved external tie-up points, an internal service area, hot wash bay, and a secure tack room where everything is well organised. Above, a mezzanine level provides additional storage. This complex also incorporates two lined stables and space for a float and tow vehicle. A separate machinery shed and workshop caters for hay storage, tractors, and equipment, ensuring the property is fully equipped for serious equestrian use.
