It boasts a magnificent country homestead that overlooks the beautiful surrounding landscape.

The property is ideal for horses, with excellent post-and-rail fencing and a stable complex, but is also versatile and would suit small agricultural pursuits.

The current owners have had the property for about 12 years and say they have enjoyed its location and design.

The five-bedroom, Tudor-style home has three levels and boasts large formal and informal living areas, three bathrooms and a huge kitchen and meals area.

The main bedroom is located downstairs and has a full ensuite and twin walk-in robes.

Other features include granite bench tops in the kitchen, slate floors and gas-fired hydronic heating, as well as split system and solid fuel heating.

There are two lockable garages with roller doors and ample shedding.

Selling agent Gary Seddon described it as a unique holding.

"It's certainly very different to anything else you'll find," Gary said.

"It's got fairly good views to the north ... and some views to the east too; it looks out towards the hills, which is nice."

The property boasts fertile soils and has been fenced into six large paddocks.

There is a dam on the property and an excellent water supply from a portable bore.

A 10kva generator provides back-up power for the property.

"It'd certainly suit someone with an interest in horses and would suit a family for sure," Gary said.

"It's in a good location. You can get to Melbourne in under an hour."

The property is located 13km west of Woodend.
