Historic Ravenswood Run Homestead – considered the birthplace of Bendigo – is for sale. The property offers 23 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms.

The 14-hectare estate, which once had its own train station, has $3.6 million plus hopes.

Ravenswood Homestead was built in the late 1850s on the former sheep station known as the Mount Alexander North Run, which covered about 47,753 hectares.

It was around Bendigo’s first gold find.
