In December the Doake family relinquished its almost 100 year ownership of the Coldstream Airport and Sunny Meadows farm.
The properties were listed for sale as a whole, and as separate assets with offers worth $17.5m tipped for the Sunny Meadows farm.
The 317-acre Sunny Meadows farm was sold on 21 November 2025. The property included a five-bedroom homestead and an inground swimming pool along with a three-bedroom manager’s residence.
The Coldstream Aerodrome was constructed in 1962, has a fully sealed runway and is home to the Coldstream Flyer’s Club. The 23 hectare airport was predicted to attract offers worth approximately $6.5 million.
The airport sold on December 5 and according to the flying club, there are no plans to change the property’s function.
President of the Coldstream Flyer’s Club Rob Rickards, “From our perspective, the club is very happy with the purchase but we don’t wish to discuss it further out of respect for the new owner’s wishes.”
“Things are and are likely to remain stable and no major changes are expected at this stage,” Mr Rickard.
“I have just had a chat with the new owner-to-be and he says he doesn’t feel the need to go public.”
