Welcome to Greenwoods Farm a breathtaking 48-acre (19.75ha) rural sanctuary where rolling green hills, ancient rainforest, and modern comfort come together in perfect harmony. This renovated home sits atop an expansive landscape of lush pasture, towering sassafras and lilypilly trees, old-growth pine wind breaks, and panoramic valley views that shift with the changing light. Beyond its beauty, Greenwoods Farm holds a proud agricultural heritage. The property has been home to foundation bloodline Highland cattle, with its legacy shaped in part by Susan Elder, a founding member of the Highland Cattle Society. This connection to early, high-quality breeding lines adds depth, provenance, and distinction to the farm's identity. Today, the land comfortably supports a herd of around 30 cattle, showcasing its productivity and resilience-and there is a unique opportunity to take over an established breeding programme featuring some of Australia's best Highland cattle bloodlines. Designed for those seeking lifestyle, income, or both, the property features a versatile 500sqm concrete slab shed with an air-conditioned office and bathroom, ideal for business operations or creative pursuits. A 40ft shipping container provides valuable extra storage or workshop potential, accompanied by a small machinery shed, original standing old cottage and shed, and a custom-made cattle yard that includes an imported Highland cattle crush for specialised livestock handling. Infrastructure across the farm is thoughtful and practical, including a security entrance, internal roads and driveway upgrades, two phone repeaters, dual Starlink services, and three water tanks that complement both tank and town water supply. A solar power system with battery backup further enhances sustainability and reduces running costs. A pristine natural spring and small flowing creek add to the property's charm and self-sufficiency, while approval for six hosted events per year opens doors to boutique weddings, retreats, or immersive farm experiences. Fruit trees, volcanic red soil, and extensive fencing upgrades complete a property that is both beautiful and highly functional. With rich pasture, flexible infrastructure, and a layout ideal for multi-use farming, Greenwoods Farm is a rare offering a private, picturesque estate enriched by heritage, natural beauty, and extraordinary potential, ready for its next custodian.
