Set on 65 acres (26 ha) of glorious gardens and parklike paddocks, Woodsome Lees Homestead is a rare blend of Victorian elegance and country lifestyle. Built in solid brick (Circa 1869) and beautifully refurbished, this much-loved homestead sits on the Murray River Lagoon, directly opposite the Tocumwal Golf Club, in a district renowned for its golf and river water sports. Melbourne is only three hours away.
Sweeping lawns shaded by cedar, elm, palm, oak and red gum trees surround the home, creating a setting that feels both grand and welcoming. Inside, the period character shines through: soaring ceilings, decorative cornices, picture rails, leadlight windows and original skirtings.
There are four bedrooms and a study, including a spacious main suite with ensuite that opens onto an enclosed verandah. Formal dining and lounge rooms, each with an open fireplace, are ideal for entertaining, while sun-filled nooks throughout invite you to settle in with a book or enjoy a quiet snooze.
The impressive kitchen flows into a generous family room overlooking the rear vista and the fully tiled, solar heated, inground saltwater pool, a natural gathering place for family and friends. Comfort is well covered with gas hydronic heating and reverse cycle air conditioning, and there is abundant storage, a second bathroom, a laundry/mud room with shower, and two undercover car spaces. Garage with roller door access and adjacent powder room for convenience.
For the horse enthusiast or hobby farmer, the infrastructure is exceptional. The former brick stable complex offers endless possibilities, alongside a truck shed with tack and feed rooms, three-phase power and 2 x 22,000 litre tanks. Steel day yards, stallion boxes, a stable and machinery building with four boxes and tack room and menage complete the setup.
The undulating red sandy loam is divided into several paddocks, and is suited to a variety of pursuits, including viticulture. Water security is excellent, with extensive Murray River Lagoon frontage, an 8ML stock and domestic licence, and two electric bores supplying the gardens and troughs.
Woodsome Lees is a place to live, entertain and unwind in true Murray River style.
