With a lifetime on the land and an extensive pastoral network, Sam Hayes has a deep understanding of what’s required to achieve a premium rural property result.

The Hayes family motto is “The Future Belongs to Those Who Plan for It”.

Sam applies that same ethos to TOOP+TOOP RURAL, helping to set up farming families with the future they deserve.

The Hayes family have been breeding and racing horses in the Barossa Valley since 1965, so Sam is well aware of the importance of having “the right land”.

After completing a degree in Agricultural Business, Hayes worked in Wine Marketing and Public Relations at BRL Hardy before returning to the family business in the Barossa.

He held sales and marketing roles before ascending to Partner and Managing Director of renowned Lindsay Park Stud in 2005.

With 17 years’ experience managing a family business, Sam was able to develop a depth of skills in people management, sales, marketing and client relations.

His reputation in the bloodstock industry is built on a foundation of integrity and respect, enabling him to establish significant long-term relationships.

It’s a trait that’s equally valuable in the real estate industry, as Sam introduces suitable rural listings to his trusted buyer network.
