'Markwood Estate' - A Rural Lifestyle or Farming Property in Northeast Victoria

Nestled in the picturesque Northeast food and wine region, 'Markwood Estate' presents a rare opportunity to own a versatile 195-acre property with plenty of potential upside.
Perfectly positioned at the gateway to the Victorian Alps, this property has some unique features including a 3,000 feet Airstrip, aircraft hangar, distillery and a winery.
The property on 195-acres of farming land has previously been run as a cattle grazing property, a winery with cellar door and vineyard growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
The property has plenty of potential upside as a horticultural property using the current winery as a shop front selling fruit and vegetables and any other farm produce.

The property has a 2-bedroom double brick home with an office, designed with open-plan living and an expansive upstairs attic. The residence features double-glazed windows, ensuring year-round comfort. Sustainability is a focus with a 7kW solar system and battery storage, gas cooking and wood heating, as well as a split-system for additional climate control. The property is well-equipped with 100,000L rainwater tanks and a large double garage, complete with an impressive 8m x 5m underground cellar perfect for wine enthusiasts or additional storage.

Tucked away on a quiet dirt road just off the Snow Road, the property has the seasonal Woolshed Creek running through the property and also boasts extensive infrastructure including:
• 18m x 9m aircraft hangar with an office, concrete flooring, and power supply
• 3000 feet fully fenced airstrip with taxi right into the hangar
• 13m x 7m three-bay machinery shed for farm equipment and storage
• 15m x 10m Besser brick winery with a mezzanine floor, power, water, and toilet facilities
• 9m x 6m Besser brick distillery shed
• 2 acres of old grapevines
• Basic steel cattle yards for livestock management

With seven well-fenced paddocks, fertile Phalaris based pastures, and a reliable well supplying water to dams and troughs, 'Markwood Estate' is well-suited for cattle grazing, fodder production, or diversified horticultural projects. The region’s rich soil and favourable climate make it an excellent location for growing premium produce or re-establishing a thriving vineyard.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful country retreat, an agricultural venture, or a property with viticultural potential, 'Markwood Estate' offers a unique combination of lifestyle, privacy, and productivity with the added advantage of your very own airstrip. With its prime location in Victoria’s sought-after food and wine region, this is a rare chance to secure a rural holding with enormous upside potential.
