This Mornington Peninsula “equestrian’s delight” is the thoroughbred of horse properties.
The Balnarring property has hit the market, offering 36 paddocks, a large arena and an American-style barn comprising eight stables, a tack room, kitchen and two hot-wash bays.
The almost-25ha Lakelands at 82 Bittern-Dromana Rd has a $3.699-$3.999 million price guide.

Home & Acreage director Penny Verco said the property was set up as a thoroughbred racehorse facility by its previous owner.
It was then developed into a more versatile facility that also catered for dressage horses by the current owners.
Ms Verco said the vendor, Andrew Cooper, was an expert in that field — he was recently crowned Equestrian Victoria’s Eventing Rider of the Year.
She said the property also featured a spring-fed dam and “fertile” grounds that would also make it suitable for a buyer who “might just want to graze cattle”.
The five-bedroom period-style house has high ceilings, timber flooring and French doors.
Co-listing agent Grant Perry said the residence’s position at the back of its large landholding also ensured it offered striking views across the paddocks.
Its large open-plan living and dining space features a granite and stainless steel kitchen with a butler’s pantry.
The house is also flanked by a wraparound veranda, and has an alfresco deck and 9m pool at the rear.
The property — which is being sold privately — is minutes to Balnarring Village, an hour to Melbourne and flanked by wineries and horseriding trails.
