Retiring from the track to the City my vendors are 100% committed to downsizing into town. Will you subdivide the near 34 hectares already in 4 titles into smaller plots or will you continue the harness racing legacy of Lavros Lodge? Quarry potential has been mentioned but conduct your own detailed research if this is your vision. You decide the future, the vendor is moving on.
The Lodge itself is a grand home tailored for those who appreciate the artistry of equestrian excellence. The main residence, crafted with timeless elegance (in 2005), exudes charm and character. Venturing past its classical facade, the interior is enriched with an impressive entrance, and a mesmerising staircase. Boasting 4 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, & ample living space, this dwelling provides an idyllic setting for both relaxation and entertainment. The master bedroom, proportionate to the building, is complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and stylish en-suite, made to spoil the new owners.
Casual dining is integrated in true European style with the smaller kitchen upstairs designed for intermittent nourishment, while the downstairs kitchen, dining and teppanyaki bar is more suited for full family celebrations. Open plan living and dining seamlessly unfold outside through copious bi-folding doors to an undercover verandah convenient for unwinding with a tranquil backdrop of mature gardens and the occasional whinny from a fatigued steed.
Beyond the house you can enjoy the large indoor pool and gym. Glance out to the stunning gardens and sprawling lush greenery and beautifully maintained botany, painting a serene picture of beauty. Complementing the main homestead, the estate has a separate cottage for property carers, and a charming house above the stables, serving as accommodation for your horse trainers.
Lavros Lodge is a well established farm and has created history in harness racing. Renowned for producing champion horses like New Zealand Cup winner "Iraklis", these stables have seen exceptional victories on the track. Accommodated with a full 1200 meter training track, high-end training facilities and stables for 32 horses, this property harnesses finesse.
