Soulcombe on The Market

Soulcombe, a 388-acre farm where Chris Budgett's Kirtlington Stud is based, has arrived on the market and will be offered through Windsor Clive International. Budgett has built up Kirtlington since the mid 1980s and has decided to offer Soulcombe for sale. On the acreage are Soulcombe House-which features seven bedrooms and two wings, as well as three different stable yard complexes and five cottages. The gently rolling limestone land has produced quality bloodstock including Harbinger (GB) (Dansili {GB}), champion and G1 Derby hero Sir Percy (GB) (Mark of Esteem {Ire}) and G1 Sydney Cup winner Selino (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}). The stud is situated just over an hour from London and less than two hours from Newmarket. In addition, it is only four miles from the A34/M40. A total of 13 Classic winners have been bred or raised within a few miles of the property.

“The flexibility of Soulcombe is remarkable-breeding, competing or polo-it covers the whole spectrum” said Windsor Clive International's George Windsor Clive.

Added Kirtlington Stud's Chris Budgett, “The time has come to move on-we will continue trading as Kirtlington Stud with our own horses. It would be nice to find a buyer to continue with the success that we have had, but I accept that the property has much to offer for so many different uses.”

Hesmonds To Sell Yearling Farm

Hesmonds Stud has listed for sale its yearling preparation base Tourles Farm at East Hoathly, near Lewes in East Sussex.

The 114-acre farm has been the subject of significant investment as of late, and the facilities include a yearling preparation centre, a four furlong gallop, a 20 metre by 40 metre schooling ring, lunge ring, 25-box barn and a three bedroom cottage.

Hesmonds Studs was purchased in 2010 by Nurlan Bizakov, who has made substantial investments in the property and also purchased Monfort et Preaux in Normandy, France last year.

Windsor Clive International is handling the sale, and that firm’s William Harford said, “Tourles Farm is one of the best presented farms we have offered in recent years. It’s extensive range of facilities dictate that Tourles will attract interest from every quarter of the professional, equine world.”
