A LANDMARK ENTERPRISE OF SCALE, QUALITY AND DISTINCTION
Set across 243.4 hectares* (601.4 acres*) in the tightly held Kerrie Valley, within the renowned Macedon Ranges, Breeders Farm represents an exceptional rural holding combining scale, productive land, significant water resources and an extraordinary standard of infrastructure.Conveniently positioned within easy reach of Melbourne CBD and Melbourne International Airport, the property has undergone extensive redevelopment and substantial investment in purpose-built equine facilities, accommodation, administration and staff amenities, machinery infrastructure and broader farm improvements.
While renowned for its association with the Australian thoroughbred industry, Breeders Farm offers considerable potential beyond its established equine operations. Productive improved pastures, substantial water resources, extensive fencing, cattle-handling facilities and an established laneway network provide an outstanding foundation for cattle breeding, grazing and a diverse range of agricultural enterprises.
THE LAND
The holding comprises 243.4 hectares* (601.4 acres*) of highly productive, gently undulating country, with improved pastures underpinned by rich, free-draining volcanic soils. An established network of internal laneways connects paddocks and operational facilities, complemented by quality fencing and areas of native bushland.
WATER
Water security is a defining feature of Breeders Farm, with more than one kilometre of frontage to spring-fed Charlie Creek, an equipped bore and a substantial licensed dam with 50 megalitres* of storage capacity.
An extensive stock water system supplies troughs throughout the property, complemented by irrigation infrastructure supporting the agricultural operation.
EQUINE INFRASTRUCTURE
Developed to an exceptional standard, the equine facilities reflect Breeders Farm's long association with the Australian thoroughbred industry.
The principal breeding and stable complexes provide extensive purpose-built boxes and stalls, including a modern 22-box mare and foal complex, 14-box stallion barn with parade ring, two additional stable complexes and a dedicated four-stall foaling and hospital barn.
Further specialist infrastructure includes an air-conditioned breeding barn, veterinary facilities and crush, equine hoist, undercover round yard, a purpose-built stable and loading complex incorporating nine covered loading bays, tack and feed rooms, wash bays and a dedicated quarantine facility. The extensive, level area adjoining the loading complex also offers potential for the establishment of an Olympic sized dressage arena.
Extensive double post-and-rail fencing completes an exceptional platform for thoroughbred breeding, rearing and spelling, together with broader commercial and private equine pursuits.
THE RESIDENCES
Residential accommodation is exceptionally well catered for, comprising three four-bedroom residences together with separate modern two-bedroom staff accommodation.
The principal residence enjoys a private setting amid established gardens, with attractive outlooks across the property towards the stallion barn. Two recently constructed four-bedroom, two-bathroom residences provide quality additional accommodation, offering considerable flexibility for management, extended family or staff.
Together, these residences provide an outstanding residential platform for a substantial agricultural enterprise, accommodating multiple families or operational personnel.
ADMINISTRATION & STAFF FACILITIES
An architecturally designed administration building provides a professional headquarters incorporating reception, individual offices, boardroom and meeting facilities, entertaining space, modern kitchen and staff and client amenities.
Separate staff facilities include a substantial lunchroom, kitchen and extensive amenities.
