This magnificent property and equine facility has been carefully planned and developed by cattleman and master horseman William Tapp. It consists of 330 acres of developed brigalow country with excellent underground water, and established pastures.

A large 54m x 15m Ranbuild shed which covers 10 individual 6m x 6m stables with feed bins and auto drinkers, 4 of which have large day yards. There is a feed room plus tack room and wide bull nosed covered patio area overlooking the lawns and a full size cut out yard and campdraft arena that is capable of running full scale competition. Close behind the Stable complex is a large 8 horse walker and round yard.
The large 42m x 30m covered Equestrian arena with yards and spectator viewing platform, provides for all weather training of young horses, and an instruction area for horsemanship clinics which have been a successful part of the business conducted by some of Australia’s leading horse experts. There is also a 24m x 15m Ranbuild shed with power and water used for machinery storage.
Tropical inspired living is provided by the accommodation complex, that has a large covered and paved outdoor living area, including a colonial kitchen overlooking the arena complex with uninterrupted views to the East.
