One of the most important and cherished properties in the region, no doubt why ‘Woodara’ is being offered for sale for the first time in over 150 years. Mr A Rowan arrived from Scotland in the mid 19th century purchasing the land for its rich volcanic soils and over 2km of Campaspe River meandering through the property. Today it sits in absolute privacy located in the farming hamlet of Greenhill which is less than 10 minutes from the heart of Kyneton and just over an hour from Melbourne CBD.

The heirloom field of daffodils greets you on arrival as the drive leads you to the understated elegance of the grand old homestead. With generous proportions allowing scope for improvement, every room has garden and many with district views. Over the generations and to this day the stunning formal sitting and dining rooms have been the scene of many a family gathering. There are 4 excellent sized bedrooms serviced by 2 bathrooms including the main bedroom having an ensuite. The 12ft high ceilings, lead lighting, magnificent hallway and period detail throughout will impress the most discerning buyer. The adjoining bluestone creamery provides for exciting options. The home is surrounded by stunning European trees to be enjoyed year round along with the relatively low maintenance garden beds full annuals and perennials. 

The working farm of 85.76 HA/211 acres is in 4 titles providing future options with an additional 7.48HA/18 acres of leased land. The land can be used for various pursuits or to be leased to a neighbouring farmer for passive income. The farm currently runs sheep and cattle with good infrastructure to support. The 2 stand shearing shed has a raised shearing board, sheep yards and separate cattle handling facility. There is a lockable machinery shed and workshop, 3 silos, 4 bay hay shed and an additional hay storage facility.  The property is supported by an excellent bore which waters the gardens and troughs to paddocks. 

‘Woodara’ is without doubt a rare opportunity to acquire a productive farm of historical significance, an even richer lifestyle awaits.
