Positioned at the foot of the breathtaking Strathbogie Ranges and nestled within the tightly held Lima South district, Woodlands is a rare offering that combines natural beauty, productive farmland and genuine local heritage.
Just moments from Lake Nillahcootie, and within easy reach of Mansfield, Benalla, Lake Eildon and Mount Buller, the property offers both peaceful seclusion and exceptional accessibility to Victoria's renowned High Country lifestyle attractions.
Beyond its scenic surrounds and farming capability, Woodlands holds a meaningful place in the district's history, having once been the site of the former Lima South Post Office, local tennis courts and a butchery during the region's early settlement period in the late 1800s. In an era when rural properties formed the heart of their communities, Woodlands served as a gathering place for local families, adding a rare layer of provenance to this remarkable holding.
The light filled homestead is warm, welcoming and thoughtfully laid out for comfortable country living. Polished timber boards flow throughout, enhancing the natural light and connection to the landscape.
At the heart of the home, a stylish country kitchen complete with walk in pantry offers both practicality and charm. Multiple living areas provide flexibility for family living, while the sunroom, positioned with an easterly aspect, captures peaceful rural views across to Mount Samaria.
Year round comfort is assured with wood heating and reverse cycle heating and cooling, and the spacious main bathroom features a spa bath, the perfect place to unwind after a day on the land.
A fully self contained guest residence, complete with its own kitchen and bathroom, offers exceptional versatility. Ideal for extended family, private retreat space or potential short stay income (STCA), it adds another dimension to the property's lifestyle appeal.
Set in a high rainfall area at the base of the ranges, Woodlands is exceptionally well watered and well prepared for productive farming pursuits.
- Six dams
- Private well
- Natural springs
- Four paddocks with electric fencing
The property is supported by well designed cattle yards including holding yards, loading ramp and vet crush. Substantial farm shedding with power connected provides excellent storage and operational capacity for machinery, livestock or workshop use.
Whether continuing as a working cattle property or diversifying into equine or horticultural enterprises, the infrastructure is in place for immediate use.
With State Forest nearby and some of Victoria's most iconic outdoor destinations within easy reach, Woodlands offers the very best of High Country living, boating, skiing, bushwalking, horse riding and cycling all at your doorstep.
