The clearing sale was held last year, now the Woodvale farm land is ready to sell

Family owned for more than a century, a big Woodvale property to the north of Bendigo is for sale across 368 hectares (909 acres).

Currently used for grazing, the block on Rothackers Road features a mix of black and red soils suitable also for cropping and mixed farming.

Gold mining was a feature of the Woodvale district (formerly Myers Creek) during the Bendigo rush of the 1850's.

Agents have offered the property for sale as a whole in four separate allotments.

The long-time owners, who are retiring for farming after many generations, held a clearing sale for the farm's machinery and vintage gear in June last year.

Expressions of interest in the property sale closes with McKean McGregor on October 26 unless the land is sold earlier.

An early 1900s four-bedroom red brick homestead is part of the sale.

Agents are suggesting given the farm land is about 20 minutes travel time to Bendigo's CBD, there are possibilities for buyers of lifestyle farms as well.

Lot one - 151ha (373 acres), Lot two - 83ha (204 acres), Lot three - 63ha (154 acres), Lot four - 72ha (178 acres).

The old homestead has a 1955 extension built in 1955 and the kitchen was updated in 1999.

It is currently used as three bedrooms with two living areas.

The property includes a two-stand shearing shed, workshop, machinery and hay sheds.

Agents say the core livestock infrastructure is all located on the first lot.
