Elders Rural Services Australia Limited is pleased to present for sale one of the districts most unique properties.
Ideally located just off the Calder Freeway only 67km* from Melbourne CBD, 30 minutes from Tullamarine Airport and 4 minutes* from Woodend, this property occupies 30.5 acres* of land and features significant views of Mount Macedon.
The land is gently undulating, with 5 acres* of native tree cover and a large dam.
The property has a long history as the 'Black Forest Sawmill' commencing in the late 1950's. Numerous buildings totalling almost 1 hectare are mostly steel framed, with iron cladding and roof, and concrete floors. Some are open sided, and some still house milling machinery. Huge, insulated rooms, once kilns, occupy one building, plus there is a brick office building/residence. The site has a 1-Megawatt power supply and a 30-Kilowatt solar system.
Woodend is a fast-growing gateway location to central Victoria, halfway between Melbourne and the Goldfields, and is a very desirable "tree change" location.
This exceptional property offers the opportunity (STCA) to regenerate the old sawmill site, perhaps into resort or residential accommodation, sporting complex, or maybe a transport hub, storage facility, or even a film set. The possibilities are endless.
Currently there are multiple tenants, but the asset is offered with vacant possession.
Inspection by private appointment only.
