Longholes Stud, located just outside Newmarket and owned by Sheikh Fahad since 2013, has been listed for sale with an asking price of £6-million. Sheikh Fahad redeveloped the 217-acre property as a state-of-the-art rehabilitation and pre-training centre for both racehorses and sport horses.
The property includes 88 stables, extensive railed paddocks and about 100 acres of open pasture, horse walkers and lunge ring, a 2 1/2 furlong canter and a six-furlong woodchip gallop. There is a farmhouse, cottage and four staff houses.
Windsor Clive International, Knight Frank's London and Bishops Stortford offices are handling the sale.
Sheikh Fahad's Racing and Bloodstock Advisor David Redvers said, “Sheikh Fahad purchased Longholes in 2013 with a view to turning the attractive and historic stud farm into a state-of-the- art pre-training and rehabilitation establishment servicing the requirements of his own Qatar Racing and also the wider training centre of Newmarket.
“Seven years later, and Longholes boasts an incredible array of modern facilities, an outstanding team of committed and highly trained professional staff and a client list that boasts many of the most recognised names in horse racing, eventing and show jumping.
“Sheikh Fahad is proud of what has been achieved at Longholes but a change in his own personal circumstances means that the farm's exciting future now needs to be in another's hands.”
