Woodlake Farm: A Charming Country Farmhouse Sanctuary

Escape the sterile modern and embrace the authentic charm of Woodlake Farm. Set high on Mount Buninyong, just four minutes from the historic village of Buninyong and a short 15-minute drive to Ballarat, this truly special property offers a peaceful country lifestyle retreat on approximately 10 acres of rich volcanic soil. This secluded estate is a private sanctuary, accessed via a picturesque, Lombardy Poplar-lined driveway that sets the tone for a truly unique home.

This much loved family home is full of character and warmth. Custom-built by a local craftsman, its design intentionally incorporates heritage materials including genuine old bricks, Baltic pine timberwork, and original reclaimed doors lending it a beautiful, timeless farmhouse feel.
The residence offers four generous bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms and a powder room. The layout provides spaces for every mood, including a formal dining room and a separate lounge/parents' retreat with a cosy fireplace - perfect for quiet evenings. The expansive, country-style kitchen and family room is the heart of the home, featuring a convenient walk-in pantry and a warming solid fuel fire, ensuring comfort and atmosphere year-round.

For over 30 years, Woodlake Farm has been an ideal hobby farm, with its rich soil supporting both cattle, horses and annual hay cutting. The grounds feature lush pasture and magnificent, mature gardens-a beautiful blend of exotic and native trees and perennial plantings. The expansive grounds are an absolute haven for wildlife, with frequent visits from Eagles, Koalas, and Echidnas, plus up to 25 species of birds from Kookaburras to Eastern Rosellas.

Adding to the property's incredible flexibility is a separate, fully self-contained two-bedroom cottage-ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. This cottage is attached to a barn which includes a dedicated stable and tack room at one end which is a fantastic asset for the equestrian or dedicated hobby farmer.
Enjoy breath-taking, panoramic vistas toward Mt Cole, The Grampians, and Mount Emu. The west-facing position is perfectly situated to capture the most magical, unforgettable sunsets.

While rich in charm, the property is also equipped with many practical efficiencies, including a 5.6 kW solar system and exceptional water storage capacity (125,000 litres across 8 tanks).

This is a truly unique and very special property for the buyer who values authenticity, charm, and a genuine country lifestyle. It welcomes your inspection.
