No. 140 Hall Lane, Whiteheads Creek is a world-class facility.
Olympic equestrian rider Jamie Coman and his wife, Sue, an international showjumper, are selling their world-class equestrian facility.
The pair purchased the Whiteheads Creek property from a company belonging to Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Sheila Laxon and her partner, John Symons.
The Comans have now listed the 32.78ha site at 140 Hall Lane with a $2.5-$2.75m price guide.

Mr Coman notably represented Australia in the individual jumping event at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
He then went on to become a national coach before deciding to return to riding, according to his wife, who’s also an accomplished rider.
“At the Australian level, I’ve competed over the years at Grand Prix and World Cup level on quite a few different horses,” Ms Coman said.
“It’s a good life and it’s something we love to do. It’s very good to work with horses when it’s a passion.”
CoreLogic records show the pair paid $1.05m for the site in 2016, when it was being used as a thoroughbred training centre.

The site is expected to fetch $2.5-$2.75m.
There are two racetracks on the 32.78ha site.
The previous owner, Laxon, trained 2001 Melbourne Cup and Caulfield Cup winner Ethereal.
Owners Frank and Karen Butler and Glenn Fielding later brought long and expensive legal action against Laxon and Symons.
A judge found against Laxon and Symons in late 2014.
The Herald Sun
reported at the time the pair faced a $1m bill once legal costs were awarded.
Ms Coman said she and her husband “had a lot of work to do” when they first took over the property.
“Now, it’s back up to what it once was,” she said.

The Comans’ additions include a huge outdoor all-weather arena alongside the stable complex, which contains stables, feed and tack rooms, and two furnished visitor rooms.
“It’s such a good set up, it’s wasted if it’s not going to be used to its maximum,” Ms Coman said of the property.
Other features of the property, which also includes a brick veneer three-bedroom house, are two racetracks, a 50m horse swimming pool and nine spelling paddocks.
The couple plan on moving to a smaller acreage, where they will continue to ride and teach others.
The property last sold in 2016.

RT Edgar Macedon Ranges director Rhys Nuttall said the site would suit use for racehorse training or other equestrian disciplines.
“It’s a really high-class thoroughbred training complex,” Mr Nuttall said.
The property is a 10-minute drive from Seymour and the Hume Highway.
A brick veneer house is also on the property.
