Wadham Park is prestigious in its own right, with notable Thoroughbred racing, training, breeding and rearing facilities.
"Its location and outstanding facilities are clearly world-class ... and the tender presents a rare opportunity to acquire a feature-packed property," Pat Rice and Hawkins director Peter Hawkins said.
"Key features are its proximity to Melbourne, being only approximately one hour and 15 minutes' drive from the city, and the excellent access, which the Hume Freeway affords to racecourses and other breeding properties."
Wadham Park boasts an impressive American-designed stable complex, which has two stable buildings with 36 boxes.
Additional facilities include a 12 horse walker 100m in circumference, concrete and steel-lined round yards, a fully lined three-stall stallion barn and a serving and preparation barn, teaser stall, mare stall and a rubber-lined crush. It also has a 1400m sand training track with starting barrier and a gradient designed to achieve racing fitness.
The property is divided into about 60 paddocks and yards.
A good laneway system connects each of the paddocks.
The property comprises heavy carrying pasture country with Goulburn River frontage, which supplies its 100-megalitre water right.
The irrigation system includes a three-phase electric pump from the river that delivers water to a central pumping system, which feeds an outstanding reticulation system.
The property has five houses on site including a two-bedroom owner's cottage, a three-bedroom manager's residence, another three-bedroom home and two staff cottages.
