As far as stellar equine opportunit­ies go, it doesn’t get much more attractive and wellappoin­ted than this.

Nestled on a generous 10 hectares and situated just a twominute drive from the Waikato Expressway, 353 Victoria Road is the perfect marriage of size, location and opportunit­y.

Used by the current owners as a breaking in and pretrainin­g establishm­ent, this prime property has much to offer the equine industry enthusiast, whether your interest is dressage, racing or something else.

With an highly-regarded sand track measuring 800 metres, as well as 20 boxes, a washdown bay, a lunging ring, numerous day yards and plus subdivided paddocks, the opportunit­ies are endless.

‘‘Continue to train and breed your thoroughbr­eds, or maybe put in your jumping or dressage arena; your property, your dream,’’ says Kevin Deane of Harcourts Morrinsvil­le.

You’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere special the minute you make your way down the tree-lined driveway and the wonderful sense of tranquilit­y embraces you.

‘‘One way takes you to the stables, the other takes you to the majestic lady, a beautiful homestead of yesteryear. The home has had some very tasteful work done to it; the rest awaits you and your interpreta­tion,’’ says Mark Ingram of Harcourts Cambridge.

Inside, you’ll find an attractive mix of character touches and a contempora­ry open-plan flow. The generous floor plan encompasse­s a large foyer, spacious country kitchen, dining room and living room.

Five bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms ensure there’s plenty of room for the whole family.

You’ll love relaxing on the wraparound veranda with a cool drink after a long day’s work while overlookin­g the beautiful gardens featuring a flat lawn for kids and pets to enjoy, mature trees, lovely rose gardens and a riot of colour in summer.

Beyond, the property is the perfect marriage of form and function, with subdivided paddocks featuring specimen plantings on either side of the driveway, creating a wonderful sense of symmetry, while being

one hundred per cent efficient for a successful equine operation.

‘‘Call us today to arrange your private viewing; only your personal inspection will truly do this amazing property justice. Our owners have made the commitment to their next property move and so genuinely seek your offer today – to be first past the post call us today, we’d hate for you to run second!’’
