Magic Millions, in collaboration with Donovan + Co, is proud to present the sale of The Oaks Stud, one of Australasia's most iconic thoroughbred breeding estates. This unparalleled opportunity is set to draw attention from industry leaders, breeders, land developers, and investors worldwide. Spanning an impressive 500 acres, The Oaks Stud is situated just 2km from Cambridge’s Leamington district, a renowned hub of premier stud farms. This estate exemplifies the rich heritage of New Zealand's equine industry, with its signature oak-lined driveway, exceptional facilities, and top-tier infrastructure reflecting a steadfast commitment to excellence. The property offers significant potential for further development. Its 203.82 hectares, divided into six titles, positions The Oaks not only as a premier equine operation but also as a lucrative prospect for subdivision. The increasing demand for rural lifestyle properties in the thriving Waikato region enhances its appeal to both equine and residential investors. The Oaks boasts a storied legacy of producing champions. Notable Group 1 winners include Seachange, a seven-time victor, alongside stars such as Recite, Artistic, Risqué, and Catalyst. Its graduates have achieved global acclaim, with celebrated names like Shuka, Zagalia, and Sakhee’s Soldier solidifying its reputation. “It’s an absolute privilege to offer the iconic The Oaks Stud on behalf of its long-term owner and fellow Queenslander, Dick Karreman,” said Donovan + Co Principal Clint Donovan. “Dick has taken great pride in the stud’s immense success and now looks to pass the baton.” With options to acquire the estate as a walk-in, walk-out operation – including stallions, mares, and racing stock – this sale is a rare opportunity. Donovan added, “For anyone passionate about racing and breeding, coupled with a vision for investment growth, The Oaks Stud presents an extraordinary proposition.”
