This tightly held 36-acre (approx.) property is a rare sanctuary of natural beauty and refined rural living. With commanding views to Hanging Rock and Camel’s Hump, it offers a lifestyle of privacy and prestige, a signature country residence set amidst open grazing paddocks, mature gums and golden morning light only 5 minutes to Woodend.
The grand tree-lined entrance framed by the century old oaks past the original cottage meandering through the Pin Oak lined driveway winds through rolling pastures, leading to the home, timeless in its design and warm in its welcome. Built approximately 25 years ago, the residence radiates country charm with light-filled interiors, 2.7-metre ceilings and expansive picture windows that frame every outlook like art.
Inside, the ambience is both airy and grounded, with rustic warmth balanced by contemporary comfort. The open kitchen, dining and lounge complete with a wood fire, spill seamlessly to an undercover alfresco area, perfectly positioned to capture views across the property and toward the ranges. The kitchen, beautifully appointed with a Smeg oven, Bosch dishwasher, gas cooking and walk-in pantry, forms the social heart of the home, while the adjoining living room becomes a gathering place for family and friends.
Accommodation includes five bedrooms, two bathrooms and three living areas, with a private retreat-style master suite offering a walk-in robe and ensuite. Practical inclusions such as ducted gas heating, split systems and a ducted vacuum system ensure ease of living throughout the seasons.
The grounds surrounding the home are beautifully structured and landscaped, flowing into the natural rhythm of the land beyond. Lawns, garden beds and alfresco spaces transition to open paddocks, native bush and wide skies. Here, the landscape reveals Chinese elms, Manchurian pears, tulip trees and native gums, two picturesque dams and a tranquil firepit area, perfect for slow evenings and starlit gatherings.
A machinery shed with workshop and undercover parking, a second storage shed and an attached two-car garage ensure ample space for equipment and vehicles. For those seeking further potential, the original three-bedroom cottage offers scope to restore as guest accommodation or a boutique B&B. Water supply is secure, with a bore, rainwater tanks and generous capacity for irrigation or livestock.
As evening mist settles over Hanging Rock and birdsong fills the valley, this remarkable property feels worlds away, yet Woodend’s cafes, schools and V/Line connections are just minutes down the road, and Melbourne’s airport is under an hour away.
554 Romsey Road, Woodend is more than a home; it is a place of peace and belonging. A once-in-a-generation holding in one of Central Victoria’s most breathtaking landscapes, offering privacy, permanence and a connection to the land that words can only begin to capture.
