SUTTON PARK – PURPOSE-BUILT EXCELLENCE IN THE NOBBYS CREEK VALLEY 

BY EQ LIFE

Set within the deeply admired Nobbys Creek valley of northern New South Wales, Sutton Park is a property defined by intent. Purposeful, precise and immaculately executed, the 187-acre equestrian estate represents a rare convergence of rural integrity, architectural discipline and professional-grade equine infrastructure – all framed by one of the most evocative landscapes in the country.  

With sweeping views to Mount Warning and the Border Ranges, Sutton Park is more than a working equine property. It is a considered rural holding, designed from the ground up to operate seamlessly, endure generationally and resonate emotionally with those who understand the value of doing things properly. 

A PROPERTY DESIGNED WITH FORESIGHT  

At the centre of the property is an architecturally designed equine precinct by BGD Architects – a complete, integrated facility that sets a benchmark for performance horse operations, spelling and Australian horse breeding. 

Comprising 36 concrete stables, the precinct has been meticulously planned to prioritise animal welfare, efficiency, and longevity. The atmosphere is calm and composed; infrastructure built not for show, but for performance and durability. Automated water systems, lighting, ceiling fans and well-considered workflows allow the operation to function smoothly, day in and day out.   

The property features 36 concrete stables with automated water systems, lighting and ceiling fans.

Supporting the stables is a comprehensive suite of training, conditioning and recovery facilities, including a fully fenced sand training arena with engineered drainage, a covered and irrigated sand round yard, a covered 10-horse automated walker, Horse Gym® equine treadmill, ECB cold-water spa and a walk on digital weigh scale. Together, they provide a professional environment capable of supporting elite-level programs across a range of disciplines, whether you’re a dressage rider, show jumper or eventer. 

Feed and nutrition facilities, tack rooms, wash bays, a stable crush located within the stable block, laundry and office spaces are all seamlessly integrated, reinforcing the sense that Sutton Park has been designed by people who truly understand how a high-functioning equine operation works.  

The property boasts twenty-four securely fenced paddocks and day yards with premium Horserail® fencing.

Designed to be picturesque and practical

LAND THAT WORKS

Beyond the build infrastructure, Sutton Park’s land has been curated with equal care. Twenty-four securely fenced paddocks and day yards, premium Horserail® fencing, established grass pastures and an abundance of free-standing shelters ensure the property functions reliably across all seasons. 

Water security is a defining strength. Extensive rainwater harvesting, including a 500,000-litre tank servicing the equine precinct, underpins operational certainty and long-term sustainability – a critical consideration for serious rural enterprises.  

A RESIDENCE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE OPERATION 

While Sutton Park’s equine credentials are its primary drawcard, the residential accommodation has been carefully considered to support a working equestrian estate rather than compete with it. 

Multiple residences including a private main residence and two self contained one bedroom demountables.

The existing residence is positioned to provide on-site oversight while maintaining a sense of separation from the equine precinct — an important balance for buyers managing staff, horses and daily operations. Practical in scale and layout, it offers comfortable, functional living suitable for an owner-operator, stud manager or senior staff, with the flexibility to adapt as the estate evolves. 

In addition to the main residence, two self-contained one-bedroom demountables provide valuable supplementary accommodation. These are ideal for grooms, visiting trainers, veterinarians or seasonal staff, allowing the property to function independently without reliance on off-site housing — a growing challenge in regional equestrian centres. 

Together, the accommodation options allow Sutton Park to operate as a fully self-contained equine estate, supporting both private ownership and commercial-scale use.

The property enjoys 360-degree views across paddocks, valley floor and out to Mount Warning and the Border Ranges.

A HOMESITE WITH FUTURE POTENTIAL  

Importantly for buyers with a long-term vision, Sutton Park includes plans and architectural renders for a future main residence. Centrally positioned on an elevated homesite, the proposed house has been designed to overlook the equestrian precinct while taking full advantage of the surrounding landscape. 

From this vantage point, the residence would enjoy sweeping 360-degree views across paddocks, valley floor and out to Mount Warning and the Border Ranges — offering the rare ability to live on-site without sacrificing outlook, privacy or a clear distinction between home and work. 

This staged residential approach gives incoming buyers choice: to occupy the existing residence immediately, to construct the new home when timing suits, or to retain the current arrangement as part of a staff or management model.
