Born in 1941, Hyland is an Australian Racing Hall of Fame inductee who won the Melbourne Cup on What A Nuisance in 1985. During his illustrious career, Hyland won what is referred to as racing's grand slam - Melbourne Cup on What A Nuisance, Caulfield Cup on Affinity, Golden Slipper on Vain and W.S. Cox Plate on Star Affair.

After retiring as a jockey, Hyland turned his hand to training and had an equally successful career, including winning VRC Oaks as both a jockey and a trainer.

Hyland Farm is set on 42.63ha of carefully maintained pastures with eight fenced paddocks. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom property was designed by Mornington-based design studio Vibe Design Group.

The modern farmhouse features a large, light-filled kitchen with butler's pantry, generous living spaces and sweeping views of Bunyip State Park. A stone wall creates a feature in the living room and wall-to-wall windows allow sunshine and fresh air to permeate the home.

Of the listing Hallahan said it was a unique property due to the "historic significance and lifestyle potential moving forward."

"There's about 31 acres that's in the urban growth zone, which is a developable area for a potential buyer," said Hallahan. "But also the 101 acres it offers is just a beautiful historic farm with a name that's synonymous with racing.

"It feels like you're in a world of your own when you're driving up there."
