In the heart of equine country midway between Cambridge and Hamilton, this private 1.8 ha or so property is a horse lover's dream. It is quietly positioned down the end of a private no exit road and offers the best of both worlds - peaceful country living and proximity to urban amenities and arterial networks.

The land is divided into five well-fenced paddocks with free-swinging gates, hotwire, automatic troughs, a race and free draining sandy loam soil. The old coach house features four Monarch stables, a wash down bay, an implement shed and a workshop with three phase power. Infrastructure also includes three covered yards, a pole barn, hay barn, woodshed and an outdoor floodlit menage with a tread light and sand surface.

The approximate 218 sq m Lockwood home has been modernised and contains four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite, and ample storage. A log burner on a wetback brings comfort and character to the open plan environment. A second log burner keeps the lounge cosy and warm over winter. Doors off the lounge and formal dining room open to the outdoor entertaining area where alfresco niches and a barbecue area beckon for relaxed living and effortless entertaining.

A separate double garage, office, mancave and a pool add the final flourishes. The home has a staycation vibe, caters superbly for family life, is in zone for excellent and coveted schools and serviced by school buses.
