The property offers substantial facilities including extensive stable complexes, a large number of spacious spelling paddocks with shelters, and ample spacious horse paddocks.  It also provides staff residences, a 1600 metre training track, full irrigation system and room for further development. 

“Lord Ben Farm” is ideally situated for the training, pre training and agistment of horses.  Easy access to the Hume Freeway, M5 and M7 motorways allows comfortable driving time to all major metropolitan and regional race tracks.

The farm lies in a tranquil setting in close proximity to Bents Basin State Reserve, a wonderful natural lagoon which is a tourist and recreational haven for a large number of visitors. The entire western boundary is the Gulguer State Forest.

“Lord Ben Farm” has a set of dams which ensures water security even in the driest of seasons. Water is also accessed from the Nepean River and a comprehensive underground watering system extends to most of the property.

Also available for sale adjoining “Lord Ben Farm” at the northern boundary there is a separate block of approximately 40 ha – 100 acres.  The land abuts Bents Basin State Reserve with entry from Wolstenholme Avenue, Greendale.  It consists of open grazing land with quality soil and is watered by large scenic dams and is of unmatched charm in an area well known and sought after for its attractiveness.

“Lord Ben Farm” is owned by Professor Jack Richardson and Mrs Grace Richardson. The principal business in recent years has been spelling, breaking and pre-training of thoroughbred horses. Other activities include the breeding of Appaloosa and Quarter Horses, for which the farm has achieved notable success, and the raising of cattle. The owners now wish to retire from active business and for this reason they have decided to submit the Farm for sale.
