Ridgmont Farm offers chance to own a slice of equine heartland
For investors and operators within the equine industry, it doesn’t get much better than owning a piece of land within Hunter Valley’s “Golden Triangle”, which is why Ridgmont Farm at 101 Segenhoe Road, Segenhoe, is turning heads.
The 200-hectare breeding nursery has recently been listed for sale by tender and is positioned among the country’s most prestigious stud farms, including Segenhoe, Darley, Vinery, Kia Ora and Newgate. It occupies a privileged address in the Segenhoe Valley – a region synonymous with producing the nation’s elite thoroughbreds.
“Standing alongside Mitch on the recently unified Ridgmont property, overlooking the majestic Hunter River from a prime elevated position, I was struck by the harmony of the landscape, the exceptional quality of the land, and the meticulous planning behind the premium A1 infrastructure,” says Clint Donovan, principal director at Donovan + Co.
“The listing represents a rare opportunity to acquire a virtually new, fully operational breeding farm in the prestigious Segenhoe Valley, right in the heart of Australia’s ‘Golden Triangle’ of premier stud farms. In terms of location, Ridgmont is the stud farm equivalent of owning property in Point Piper or Mayfair – it’s that exclusive,” he adds.
Spread across 199.5 hectares, Ridgmont flows seamlessly from sweeping flats to basalt-based grazing slopes. The property is serviced by a sophisticated water system that supports irrigated pastures, fodder cropping and equine operations year-round. With 722 megalitres of water under multiple access licences, two bores and an upgraded 10-inch mains irrigation network, the farm doesn’t require further amenities.
Its facilities have everything a modern equine operator needs, including purpose-built barns for mares, yearlings and foaling, along with an enclosed horse walker and sand roll, twin parade rings, and more than 100 paddocks and holding yards lined with Duncan Equine post-and-rail fencing.
“Nearly every inch of Ridgmont is purposefully utilised, perfectly aligned with the region’s renowned reputation for producing elite horses,” Donovan adds.
The new owner can also live luxuriously on-site within the four-bedroom homestead, which features a pool overlooking the valley. Alongside the homestead are two staff cottages and two transportable one-bedroom accommodations, a modern reception office constructed in 2020, which also boasts entertaining areas and a viewing deck overlooking a horse parade ring.
“This is a rare chance to secure a truly turn-key farm, and we invite all enquiries with full assurance of confidentiality,” Donovan says.
For sale by tender, closing at 5pm (AEDT) on December 10, 2025.
