GRIFFEN PARK

Set on a beautifully managed acreage and purpose-designed for both lifestyle and enterprise, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to secure a fully established, off-grid sanctuary ideal for dog boarding, equine pursuits and sustainable living. The fully licensed kennels are professionally constructed and thoughtfully laid out, featuring two separate buildings with a total of fifteen pens with three undercover pens in the first building and eight additional pens in the second. Power, septic, a dedicated laundry and a prep room ensure smooth operations while licensing for thirty dogs provides excellent commercial potential. Seven turfed exercise parks, including two with undercover sand pits offer ample space for rotation and enrichment. The entire grounds are fully locked, snake-meshed and serviced by a separate driveway and private entrance for operational efficiency.
The property itself carries a 6-star energy rating and stretches across an impressive landscape that includes twelve paddocks and a sixty-acre open paddock currently leased to neighbouring farmers on an ongoing basis. Five horse shelters, a 20 x 40 arena and supplied building and planning permits for a 12 x 8 shed create further opportunity for stables, storage or expansion of the kennels, subject to discussion. A hay shed, stable and cattle yards with an undercover crush complement the rural infrastructure, supported by a bore and solar pump. Water security is a standout with approximately 198,000 litres of freshwater storage, three dams and a natural billabong enhancing the property's appeal.
The entire estate runs on a robust off-grid power system comprising a 5-kW plant with 20 kW battery storage, a Kubota backup generator, twenty solar panels and a 2-kW wind turbine. Additional improvements include an 18 x 9 machinery shed with two enclosed concrete bays, a fully powered 6 x 12 workshop ideal as a "man cave," and a fenced dog yard fitted with five undercover shelters.
The 6-star energy-rated residence is warm, inviting and beautifully appointed offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dedicated library. Clever storage solutions include under stair and attic options, complemented by a walk-in pantry that services the kitchen, complete with a Rayburn stove featuring a 300-litre water jacket and an Emelia 900 mm gas cooker. Hardwood flooring, quality carpets and refined fittings add comfort and character throughout. The home benefits from Expol underfloor insulation, two split-system units, premium window furnishings, a secure house yard and an inground pool that enhances the relaxed, country-living feel.
A rare combination of working infrastructure, sustainable design and lifestyle luxury, this property is perfectly suited for those seeking a turnkey dog-boarding facility, an equine retreat or a private off-grid haven with exceptional versatility.
