This is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich history of Graham's Farm at 283 Grahams Road, Lancefield.

Many of us dream about owning a farm, whether it’s for a complete treechange lifestyle away from suburban life, or an ideal country getaway where you can relax and recover from the hectic lives we have created for ourselves in town.

The rolling hills of central Victoria are a very attractive option for those looking to enjoy what the land has to offer, especially around the Macedon Ranges and Lancefield areas that feature rich volcanic soils that support a diverse range of agricultural production. Traditionally, cropping alongside sheep and cattle grazing has dominated farming in this fertile region, making it attractive for both farmers and those seeking a rural lifestyle. Victorian rural and lifestyle specialists, Anthony Stevens Real Estate, have recently listed a spectacular Lancefield property that is steeped in history.

 

This is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich history of Graham’s Farm at 283 Grahams Road, Lancefield, situated on a stunning 142-acre rural sanctuary that invites you to become part of its storied legacy.

Founded in 1866 by pioneering farmer Robert Strachan Graham, this estate beautifully blends heritage charm with modern amenities. This is an exceptional chance to enjoy a property with sweeping views extending to the eastern boundary, leading into a tranquil valley that includes your own section of Deep Creek, complete with vibrant waterholes.

The fertile ground around the Macedon Ranges, particularly around Romsey and Lancefield, is the key ingredient for success.
