The property

Purpose-built for equestrian living, this property combines high-quality equestrian infrastructure with a modern detached country home, offering land, panoramic countryside views, and an ideal setup for horse enthusiasts or those seeking rural living with business potential.

The equestrian facilities include:

The Main Stable Building (596 m²), renovated in 2022  comprising:
• 4 large boxes (3x4m)
• Care and shower area
• Heated and fully equipped tack room
• 4-seater illuminated horse walker
• Forage and equipment storage
• Undercover parking for several vehicles

A secondary stable block with 3 (3x4m) boxes and a wooden-fronted broodmare box, plus potential for 10–12 additional boxes (subject to permissions)

A third building with 3 broodmare boxes

An income producing photovoltaic building which houses an illuminated indoor riding arena (36x18m) with high-performance fibre surface

An outdoor round pen (70x40m) – Built in 2020 with fibre sand and smooth wooden fencing

A total of just under 4 hectares of well-maintained meadows and paddocks set against a woodland backdrop, complete with electric fencing, water points, and shelters. The current owners also lease an additional 14 hectares of land, which may be available to the new owners subject to separate negotiation with the landlords.

A 30,000-litre buried water tank

The residence is a spacious, light-filled home that has been thoughtfully designed to balance comfort with everyday functionality. At garden level, a welcoming entrance opens into a bright open-plan living room, where large windows frame uninterrupted countryside views and provide direct access to the terrace. The fully equipped modern kitchen flows seamlessly into a utility and laundry room, which in turn offers direct access to the basement. The principal bedroom suite is air-conditioned and includes a walk-in shower en-suite and a dedicated dressing room. A hallway leads to two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC, completing the accommodation on this level.

The basement significantly enhances the property’s practicality, offering garage space for up to four vehicles, along with a workshop, cellar, boiler room, and extensive storage areas.

Additionally, a pool room with heated indoor swimming pool and direct terrace access makes this home perfect for year-round relaxation and entertainment.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a countryside estate, fully equipped with operational equestrian facilities and offering additional income potential through renewable energy. It is equally suited as a private residence, a professional equestrian operation, or a lifestyle change project.
