Welcome to Woodlake Farm, a truly unique and special property offering a peaceful, country lifestyle retreat just 4 minutes from Buninyong township and a short 15 minutes from Ballarat township. Set on nearly 10 acres of rich volcanic soil high on Mount Buninyong, this secluded estate is a private sanctuary accessed via a picturesque, long driveway lined with Lombardy Poplars.

The much-loved family home, custom-built by a local builder, is full of character. Its design incorporates reclaimed materials-including reclaimed bricks, Baltic pine, and original reclaimed doors-lending it a timeless, heritage feel.

The main residence offers four spacious bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms, and a separate powder room. The layout includes both formal and casual living spaces: a formal dining room and a separate lounge/parents' retreat with a cosy fireplace. The expansive kitchen and family room is the heart of the home, featuring a convenient walk-in pantry, a solid fuel fire, and a reverse-cycle system for year-round comfort.

Woodlake Farm offers acreage, Infrastructure, and Lifestyle. For over 30 years, this property has been the ideal hobby farm, with its rich volcanic soil sustaining both cattle and annual hay cutting. The grounds comprise lush pasture and magnificent gardens featuring a blend of exotic and native trees and perennial plantings. The expansive grounds attract an abundance of wildlife, with frequent visits from Eagles, Koalas and Echidnas, as well as up to another 25 species of birds, including Kookaburra, black parrots, cockatoos, and rosellas coming as close as the veranda & patio.

Adding to the property's incredible flexibility is a separate, fully self-contained two-bedroom cottage, which has been a valuable asset for family, friends, and renters for many years. This cottage is attached to an extensive barn which includes a dedicated stable and tack room at one end-perfect for the equestrian or hobby farmer.

Enjoy breath-taking, panoramic vistas toward Mt Cole, The Grampians, and Mount Emu, with the west-facing position offers the most magical sunsets.

The property is also equipped with modern efficiencies, including a 5.6 kW solar system (26 panels), NBN fixed wireless, and exceptional water storage with 125,000 litres of capacity spread across 8 tanks.

This is a truly unique and very special property that welcomes your inspection.
