Property

The <a href="/news/white-fences-and-red-roses-the-iconic-capricorn-park-stud-is-on-the-market/">news that Capricorn Park Stud was on the market</a> in April sent Canberrans into a social media frenzy — and now we can announce that the iconic property has officially sold.A Belconnen couple with three young children – all boys – purchased the property last month for $2.65 million. Their new six-bedroom home is the stud’s original 1960s homestead and comes with a 50-acre backyard, including an orchard and chicken run.<img alt="84-capricorn-place-springrange-nsw-2618-78106-image-0-20230418010145213024-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/84-capricorn-place-springrange-nsw-2618-78106-.width-800.jpg" width="800">“They loved the perfect mix between modern and eclectic style, the space for living in the home, the views and the pool,” sales agent <a href="/agents/sam-mcgregor/">Sam McGregor</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/marq/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MARQ Property</a> says.“They knew the huge backyard would be the perfect place for three young boys to grow up, while basically staying the same distance from work and the Canberra CBD.”Located 15km north of Canberra in Springrange, NSW, Capricorn Park Stud was established in the late 1960s as a cowboy-style Quarterhorse training and breeding facility. In the early 1990s, new owners changed it to a first-class Thoroughbred training facility.<img alt="84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-78106-image-0-20230706020255744767-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-7810.width-800_pz8jhbw.jpg" width="800">It’s interesting to note that the new owners of Capricorn aren’t officially horse people, but with the equine infrastructure on the property including eight covered tie-up stalls, a fully enclosed sand roll yard and heated wash bay, that could change.Interested buyers from Perth, Sydney and Melbourne streamed through the property during its five-month selling period, while other land owners from Springrange took the opportunity to size up the estate in relation to their own holdings.<img alt="84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-78106-image-0-20230406031639105480-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-7810.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The style of the home – a genuine resort style dwelling – was absolutely loved by everyone who viewed it,” Sam says.“The consensus was that it genuinely felt like a ski lodge … that might have been that it was on the market through winter.“The gardens and views were also an absolute stand out. A kitchen, pool and outdoor living area that looks over a private river and golf course, with manicured lawns, trees and gardens, was consistently loved by everyone who viewed the home.”<img alt="84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-78106-image-0-20230406031639516587-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-7810.width-800_11dFjuR.jpg" width="800">Initial interest in the property went through the roof in April when <a href="/news/white-fences-and-red-roses-the-iconic-capricorn-park-stud-is-on-the-market/">Zango published an article announcing the iconic estate was up for grabs</a>. More than 100,000 Canberrans engaged with the article, proving Capricorn is an estate Canberrans have “a real affinity for”.“Travelling along the Barton Highway speaks to road trips with the family, visiting relatives in Yass, Wagga, Tumut and Melbourne,” Sam says.<img alt="84-capricorn-place-springrange-nsw-2618-78106-image-0-20230418010144940366-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/84-capricorn-place-springrange-nsw-2618-78106-.width-800_GmSSKVj.jpg" width="800">“There isn’t a Canberran out there that hasn’t driven past property at one time or another and been impressed by its position along the road, the racetrack and the immaculate gardens.“As we’ve watched Canberra and the region grow, the property has never changed. It’s always been a staple of white fencing, green lawns and red roses.”<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/84-capricorn-place-springrange-nsw-2618-78106/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the original listing for 84 Capricorn Place, Springrange.</a>

Belconnen family ‘seriously upgrade’ to become new owners of Capricorn Park Stud

Mention ‘Capricorn Park Stud’ to Canberrans and they’ll picture white fences streaming for hundreds of metres along the Barton Highway, with rambling bushes of red Dublin Bay roses dotted between them.The property, located about 15km north of Canberra, on the way to Murrumbateman and Yass, is a bit of a Canberra icon. Established in the late 1960s (that explains the old sign with the retro orange font - who remembers it?), the property was originally a cowboy-style Quarterhorse training and breeding facility.<img alt="84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-78106-image-0-20230406031639105480-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-7810.width-800.jpg" width="800">In the early 1990s, new owners changed it to a first-class Thoroughbred training facility. Those same owners recently subdivided the huge parcel of land to create multiple properties that now comprise ‘Capricorn Estate’.And the most stunning piece of it — the original homestead and 50-acres — is looking for a new owner.The beautiful six-bedroom, three-bathroom home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/84-capricorn-place-springrange-nsw-2618-78106/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">84 Capricorn Place, Springrange</a>, is heaven for humans, but the property is also purpose-built for horses. The equine infrastructure on the property includes eight covered tie-up stalls, a fully enclosed sand roll yard and heated wash bay.<img alt="84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-78106-image-0-20230406031639516587-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-7810.width-800_ONrahGz.jpg" width="800"><a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/marq/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MARQ Property</a> licensed agent <a href="/agents/sam-mcgregor/">Sam McGregor</a> says Capricorn is a property Canberrans feel a real affinity for.“Travelling along the Barton Highway speaks to road trips with the family, visiting relatives in Yass, Wagga, Tumut and Melbourne,” Sam says.“There isn’t a Canberran out there that hasn’t driven past property at one time or another and been impressed by its position along the road, the racetrack and the immaculate gardens.“As we’ve watched Canberra and the region grow, the property has never changed. It’s always been a staple of white fencing, green lawns and red roses.”<img alt="84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-78106-image-0-20230406031640482006-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-7810.width-800_qa3ig0m.jpg" width="800">In an attention-grabbing twist, Sam’s marketing the property using lines from classic Aussie movie The Castle (think “How’s the serenity?” and “A man’s home is his castle”).“The property is as iconic to the Canberra region as that movie is to Australians,” Sam says.“The movie is about family, love, community and road trips — and travelling down the Barton Highway is about long weekends spent with family at Wee Jasper, Good Hope and Lake Eucumbene, the local equivalent of Bonnie Doon.“That mixed with the juxtaposition of a grand home in a grand location.”<img alt="84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-78106-image-0-20230406031641514895-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/84-capricorn-place-murrumbateman-nsw-2582-7810.width-800_WVr9yT1.jpg" width="800">It’s a clever marketing strategy but Sam knows the Capricorn homestead will likely sell to “equine enthusiasts and/or people with a desire for a country lifestyle with no closer proximity to Canberra”.Number 84 Capricorn Place, Springrange, backs onto Jeir Creek and overlooks a privately established and maintained 12-hole golf course.The price guide for the property is $2.8 to $3.1 million.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/84-capricorn-place-springrange-nsw-2618-78106/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

White fences and red roses: the iconic Capricorn Park Stud is on the market

A builder designed and constructed his dream family home just outside Canberra 26 years ago. Almost three decades of family memories are contained within the walls of this magnificent six-bedroom country homestead at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/1244-barton-highway-springrange-nsw-2618-49037/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">1244 Barton Highway</a>, Springrange, but the family is ready to downsize and the time has come to pass their property over to a new family.While sad to be selling, the owner says the home has provided many happy times.<img alt="1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-2.width-800.jpg" width="800">“We will greatly miss this home and the beautiful nature that surrounds it, but we are sure it will be just as wonderful and serve as the perfect home for a new family,” the owner said.“The endless open spaces, mountain views, large and inviting entertainment spaces, both indoor and outdoor, provide plenty of room to enjoy family time and entertain guests all year round.“We planned and built this house to absorb as much natural light as possible, provide comfortable living and dining, with a spacious and welcoming kitchen to serve the entire family.”Located just over the ACT border in NSW, the property is a private and peaceful retreat away from the city commotion, but only a 15-minute drive to Civic, Gungahlin and Belconnen.Hall village is a short trip down the road for your local needs, with a host of beautiful nature walks to enjoy and explore.<img alt="1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-5.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-5.width-800.jpg" width="800">Walking through the home, McGrath Canberra sales agent Kris Hellier says you can see it has been built with loads of love by a master craftsman.“You can see the best-of-the-best workmanship in every element of this home,” he said.“Absolutely everything has been thought of in the design and function of this property, and the attention to every intricate detail is incredible.”From the minute you cross the gated entry, Kris says you’ll be stunned by the mature gardens that envelope the 21-acre rural lifestyle retreat.“It’s such a picturesque setting with gardens that have been well maintained over 26 years, plus pockets of natural bushland and cleared areas,” he said.<img alt="1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-7.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-7.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Every room in the home takes in the garden views and has been designed to maximise the natural light.”While the home was built in the 1990s, the country manor design is timeless and pristine.“This home is grand,” Kris said.“It’s not just the huge kitchen and sprawling living areas, the bedrooms are also huge.“The master suite with ensuite, walk-in robe and a spectacular bay window has enough room for a large bed and a lounge suite and is nearly as big as a one-bedroom apartment!“The guest wing is also spacious, with its own ensuite and walk-in robe, plus a bay window overlooking the gardens.”<img alt="1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-4.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-4.width-800.jpg" width="800">The other three bedrooms are large, with built-in robes and enchanting garden vistas, while the study is also big enough to be used as a sixth bedroom if required.While the sprawling living areas are segregated, they’ve been designed to allow families to stay connected, with strategically placed internal windows offering views right through to the front and back gardens. The home boasts large formal lounge and dining areas, and a casual dining area and a relaxed family room off the kitchen, opening onto the covered verandah.The solid timber kitchen is in excellent condition, with plenty of bench and storage space, quality appliances, electric cooktop, oven and dishwasher. Kris says it’s a top spot for entertaining guests while cooking up a storm.Coupled with a neutral colour scheme, the plush cream carpets, gleaming tiles, high ceilings and picture windows throughout give the open a rich, opulent feel.<img alt="1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-6.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-6.width-800.jpg" width="800">Outside, the property continues to impress, with a triple garage connected to the residence, plus a separate machinery shed that could house six cars, a workshop and cellar.The land has a large dam with boundary fencing and a fenced house area and is ideal for a family seeking the rural lifestyle, with room for a few horses, sheep, or riding motorbikes.The owners grew their produce, so the fruit trees and greenhouse are well established, offering fresh garden goodies for the family.And the unique outdoor enclosed alfresco area is the perfect spot for bottling the vegies or enjoying a family barbecue while sipping a glass of red as the sun goes down. It could also be converted into a studio workspace.<img alt="1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-1.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1224-Barton-Highway-Springrange-1.width-800.jpg" width="800">“This is a spectacular property for a large family, or extended family, to escape from the city and really enjoy that rural lifestyle, but still remain connected with the city, work and schools,” Kris said.To arrange a private inspection of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/1244-barton-highway-springrange-nsw-2618-49037/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">1244 Barton Highway</a> in Springrange, contact Kris Hellier on 0413 799 700.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/spectacular-springrange-homestead-hits-the-market-for-the-first-time/508405" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>
