Description
Infinite Scope & Ready-Made Infrastructure
Motivated Vendor Downsizing – This Must Sell!
Some properties ask you to imagine the lifestyle. This one hands it to you, ready-made.
If you train, breed, or live for horses, or wish to use your land for any other purpose this is the property you’ve been searching for. At 496 Knyvetts Road, just minutes from Southbridge and Leeston, 20.3 hectares unfold around a warm, well-kept 1985 home – three bedrooms, one bathroom, and roughly 120sqm of easy, unfussy living. It’s the kind of place built for slower mornings and wide-open views, with plenty of off-street parking for floats, trucks, and visiting horse transport.
But it’s the equestrian infrastructure that sets this property apart – the kind of set-up most horse people spend years building from scratch. A dedicated horse track approximately 800 metres is ready for daily training, whether you’re conditioning young stock or maintaining a string in work. The main stable houses four stalls plus two tie-up areas, complemented by a wash bay for post-work care and a tack room and office built directly into the stable – everything organised and within reach.
Beyond the stable, a five-bay barn offers exceptional flexibility for hay storage, machinery, floats, or additional yarding, with a smaller, lockable two-bay section ideal for feed, gear, or anything you need secured. Whether you’re breeding, spelling, pre-training, or simply keeping a home paddock string, the land itself offers genuine scope – 20.3 hectares of grazing and paddock rotation, with the space and privacy serious horse operations need to run properly.
This is rural Canterbury at its most usable for the horse-focused buyer – private, peaceful, and already equipped for the work most people only plan for.
