An enormous 188 acre property that is home to Melbourne Cup winning horse, Americain, has hit the market in Doreen in Melbourne’s north east.
Hazelview, located at 1415 Arthurs Creek Rd across two titles, was built by the current vendors in 2012 for the purpose of breeding and training equine.
The ritzy five-bedroom, six-bathroom estate now has a huge $20m-$22m price guide.

Abercromby’s Real Estate Armadale director Jock Langley said he had “never seen a better equipped farm in the wider metropolitan area” in his 32 years of selling property.
“The plan is from a farming environment so it’s very well layed out,” he said.
“They’ve captured everything you would want for an equine estate.”
The sprawling property offers a breeding barn, mare and foal boxes, holding yards, racing track and a one-bedroom cottage overlooking seven floodlit foaling paddocks.
At the main house or ‘staff quarters’, which boasts a picturesque lake at the front, many lavish amenities can be found. There’s a tennis court, indoor swimming pool, gym, home theatre and a cellar, plus a stylish marble-top kitchen.
The main residence also offers stunning views across the Warburton ranges, with plenty of lush foliage surrounding the property, including a rare wollemi pine tree.
Mr Langley said he had received an immense amount of interest in the expansive pad, with 235 inquiries thus far from both local and interstate buyers. He also had some international interest from the Middle East and Asia.
“It certainly meets the needs of anyone who has a desire to be successful in the horse racing industry, or who has equestrian pursuits like dressage or cross country riding,” Mr Langley said.
“It’s ahead of its time … the breeding barn is unbelievable.”
