Rural Property For Sale Offers High Country Lifestyle

VIC High Country Property For Sale Ideal For Horses + Cattle

Embrace the tranquil high-country lifestyle with this majestic rural property for sale offering a charming, established equine breeding facility that perfectly combines rustic elegance with country charm.

The property – known as ‘Night Horse’ – was developed from the ground up by former ringer and quarter horse breeder and trainer Steve Cummins, whose family first settled in the area in the 1840s. It takes its name from the quiet, calm, sure-footed and reliable horses used in the stock camps he worked in while in the Northern Territory.
