On quiet, picturesque Rosser Road we offer for sale one of the most completely developed and well maintained specialist equine or sport horse properties ever to be offered for sale in Hawke’s Bay. The property totals 6.49 hectares (16 acres) in size. The equine infrastructure was originally developed in the 1990’s to a very high standard by well known international equestrian Greg Best. Many specimen trees were established and the property has continued to mature and has been beautifully maintained to the present time.

Rosser Road is a quiet, no exit road particularly well suited to horses. It is 7 km from Stortford Lodge, approximately 8 minutes travel time to Hastings City and 10 minutes to the popular centre; Havelock North. Just as importantly both the Hastings Race Course and the Hawke’s Bay Equestrian Centre with its substantial cross country course and training facilities are only minutes distance away. The soils are class 8 and 9 (HB Regional Council classification) being ash and clay loam over very free draining Taupo Ash sub-soils. These are the preferred for horse trainers in Hawke’s Bay as they provide a friable free draining surface for working horses in winter and summer.

Originally constructed in the 1970’s the home has recently been modernised, redecorated and refurbished. It has a very private, picturesque situation and features a very attractive outdoor flow to an attractive outdoor living area overlooking the lawns, beautifully designed gardens with many large shady specimen trees, ornamentals, roses, shrubs etc. There are 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and has its own ensuite bathroom and dressing room.
There is a large modern open plan kitchen and dining area and a large separate living room, office and laundry. Adjacent to the house is a workshop and garden shed.

The superbly developed stable complex is a major feature of the property. Here are 6 loose boxes, tack room and feed room. On each side is integral shedding suitable for housing large horse trucks, machinery or hay as needed. In addition there are 10 post and rail horse yards. In a central location is the substantial Olympic sized limestone surface equestrian arena. In addition there is a grand prix jumping field including a ditch, 2 water obstacles and a bank. The equestrian arena has full overhead irrigation from an underground irrigation mains pipeline which also provides irrigation to paddocks throughout the property from an irrigation bore on the property with appropriate irrigation consents in place. There are soundly constructed cattle yards and loading facilities.

There are 7 main paddocks using post and batten with heavy duty wire and post and rail. Attractive tree lined laneways allow easy access through the property and the many mature specimen trees throughout provide very adequate shade for horses and livestock as well as a very pleasant degree of maturity to the property.

This property presents a unique opportunity to acquire a very attractive, well located, fully developed and well maintained horse and livestock property. It is highly recommended to any careful, fastidious looking for a top equestrian property within Hawke’s Bay.
