Thoroughbred veterans list Ridgeview Stud at Muskerry

Thoroughbred industry veterans Phil and Fiona Sloane are selling Ridgeview Stud, their prominent rural Victorian equestrian property.

The 104 hectare estate in Muskerry, near Bendigo, has turned out a number of winners from racehorses reared on the property.

It was once home to 1989 Melbourne Cup winner Tawriffic.

Phil Sloane recently accepted an appointment with a major thoroughbred stud close to his origins at Cootamundra. 

Ridgeview Park has a breeding barn of 19 stable boxes including six stallion boxes.

There are nine foaling down paddocks supported by a brick foaling barn with five boxes and an electric six horse walker.

There are a number of outbuildings, as well as a main four bedroom double brick homestead with swimming pool.

There's also a two bedroom timber cottage and another one bedroom cottage.

Rodwells Ruralco Property agent Jeanette Laffan is considering the offers for the property in conjunction with Pat Rice & Hawkins agent Matt Childs.

They are expecting a sale over $900,000.
