WOODLANDS | A LANDMARK 439-ACRE CATTLE FARM ON DROUIN'S DOORSTEP
Productive West Gippsland Grazing Country | Five Residences | Four Titles | Exceptional Township Proximity
Offered for sale following more than 50 years of family ownership, Woodlands presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire approximately 439 acres of established cattle-grazing country on the southern fringe of Drouin.
A substantial and increasingly rare rural holding, Woodlands combines productive farming land, extensive water infrastructure, five established residences and an outstanding location within minutes of one of West Gippsland's major regional centres. Set across gently undulating countryside, Woodlands encompasses expansive grazing pastures, fertile red soils and productive creek flats, creating a versatile agricultural landscape well suited to beef cattle production. The holding currently accommodates approximately 280 head of beef cattle, with considerable scope to optimise grazing operations through active pasture and livestock management. The combination of substantial land area, established paddocks, fencing and farm improvements provides a strong foundation for ongoing agricultural production.
ESTABLISHED WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
Water is a significant feature of the property, with a combination of natural watercourses, two dams and an established stock-water reticulation system.
Water is pumped from King Parrot Creek to the property's water infrastructure, supporting distribution to stock-watering points across the holding.
The property also benefits from an existing 24.5-megalitre take-and-use water licence, authorised for irrigation, domestic and stock, dairy and general farm purposes
A standout feature of Woodlands is its substantial main dam, covering approximately 1.10 hectares (2.72 acres), providing a valuable water storage for the property's agricultural operations.
These established water assets complement the productive grazing country and contribute to the property's agricultural versatility.
FIVE ESTABLISHED BRICK-VENEER RESIDENCES
Woodlands incorporates five brick-veneer homes across the Weebar Road and Greenshields Road holdings.
Four residences offer three-bedroom accommodation, while the Greenshields Road residence comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The existing dwellings provide valuable flexibility for farm management, extended family accommodation, staff housing or other permitted residential uses.
Recent maintenance works have also been undertaken across the residential improvements.
AN EXCEPTIONAL FARMING LOCATION
One of Woodlands' most compelling attributes is its proximity to Drouin.
Few agricultural holdings of this scale are available so close to an established and expanding regional township, offering the benefits of rural privacy and substantial acreage without the isolation typically associated with larger farming properties.
Drouin and Warragul provide convenient access to livestock services, veterinary care, agricultural suppliers, rural contractors, shopping, healthcare and education.
The nearby Princes Freeway and V/Line passenger services further strengthen the property's accessibility to Melbourne and the wider Gippsland region.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY OF SCALE AND SUBSTANCE
Woodlands represents far more than a conventional rural property.
Its substantial grazing area, established improvements, water infrastructure and exceptional township proximity combine to create a significant West Gippsland agricultural holding.
With a portion of the property also included within the approved Drouin Precinct Structure Plan, Woodlands offers the additional appeal of a strategically positioned long-term landholding.
For cattle producers seeking scale, families seeking a substantial rural estate or purchasers recognising the enduring value of land on Drouin's doorstep, Woodlands is an opportunity increasingly difficult to replicate.
