Imagine starting the morning with a coffee on the verandah, then heading down to feed your horses without picking up the car keys.
For anyone travelling between home and agistment, there's something appealing about bringing those two parts of life together.
Set on approximately five acres, Pumpkin's Rest combines a character-filled workers cottage with established equine facilities and sweeping rural views towards Mount Taylor. It's a place to spend more time around your horses, enjoy your outdoor interests and make a country home your own.
Originally known as the Bowden Homestead, the cottage offers a traditional front verandah, gas cooking and a cosy wood heater. Picture boots by the door, the fire warming a cool evening and a quiet spot to sit after a day in the paddocks.
The home offers three rooms used as bedrooms, with the third also suited to a child's room or study. Its appeal lies in its country character and the lifestyle surrounding it.
Outside, the existing horse infrastructure is what it is all about. Paddocks, shelters, round yards, an arena and tack storage bring the practical parts of horse ownership together in one property.
