The rarest of the rare. First time offered in 50+ years, this well-known local property is being sold under Auction conditions.
This parcel of land was purchased by the Osborn family back in 1974, where a modest two room cottage once sat. The owners soon evolved this property into a seven-bedroom homestead. The infrastructure on the land was developed, and this vast parcel of land fast became an efficiently functioning Harness Racing training establishment where people came from far and wide to utilize the services and expertise of the widely renowned Dick Osborn (RIP). From here he won 16 Hunter Valley driver’s premierships and 17 trainers premiership’s driving more than 1000 winners.
Anyone associated with harness racing or horses in general will be greatly appreciative of the facilities at this property.
Firstly, believe it or not, the dam in the centre of the 600m trotting track is spring fed, salt water. Strange but true. There's an entrance set up for you to walk your horses down for a swim!
Three wash bays (two need a minor refurb!) and a massive concrete floor strapping shed with loads of storage for your harnesses and gigs etc.
There's also an enormous, corrugated iron shed with high clearance, perfect to park the truck or float.
Twelve stables separately fenced for individual horse yards and larger fenced areas inside the track and to the west, for grazing paddocks. Also, a round yard for lunging.
The property has town water (rare!) and septic (transpiration) system.
With a whopping 450m frontage to Sawyers Gully Road, this irregular shape parcel of prime land lends itself to a variety of future uses (STCA)
