Woodend

<html><body>
Woodvale, the luxury Woodend property in the foothills of Mount Macedon, has been listed for just the third time.
The land was chosen in the 1840s by the Barker family, with the earliest building dating back to the 1860s.
The single-level grand Victorian homestead was built in 1884 and has recently been transformed by heritage architect Bruce Trethowan for the McLaren family. It has five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
At the heart of the grand central living room is a Cheminees Phillippe fireplace.
Jellis Craig Macedon Ranges agents Tom May and Paul Keane have a $3.6 million to $3.9 million guide.
The 51 hectare property is currently set up as a cattle operation, with cattle yards, 14 paddocks, a managers residence and an original stone barn.
The garden was developed from a masterplan in 2005 with a number of garden rooms and courtyards.

An unusual school conversion has been listed at Woodend for $1.9 million.
The house is quite elevated, and appears to float on the gentle slope, courtesy of its unique sub-floor.
The 3857 square metre allotment is undulating. 
It's not your Victorian or Edwardian brick or timber building.
The former Catholic primary school was built in 1974 to an innovative design by a priest who was also an architect.
It has an external frame.
It has been repurposed as a family home with huge interconnected living areas.
<a href="http://www.joangladman.com.au/properties-detail.asp?ID=572" target="_blank">Joan Gladman Real Estate</a> agent Joan Gladman has the listing.
Separate from the main residence, is an elegant and sizeable studio, workshop and double garage.
Some 8kW of solar panels make an eco-contribution to the energy needs of the house.

Unusual 1970s Woodend school conversion turned trophy home listed

<html><body>
Flint Hill, the 27 hectare Woodend retreat owned by businessman Sir Roderick Carnegie since 1980, has been listed for November 24 auction.
The historic, <a href="https://kayburton.com.au/properties/view/343460-65-romsey-road-woodend-3442-sale" target="_blank">stately estate with woodland garden</a> has been listed through Kay &amp; Burton agent Gerald Delany in conjunction with John Keating, who assisted the Carnegie's secure the property after its 1979 auction.
On its initial listing in November last year more than $8 million was tipped, but now it will go to auction with a disclosed $7 million reserve price.
Sir Roderick Carnegie, who turns 84 later this month, was a prominent Australian businessman, primarily working in the coal industry, interrupted in the 1960s when he founded the Australian practice of McKinsey in Melbourne. In 1972 he joined CRA Limited (now Rio Tinto) as finance director serving as managing director from 1974 to 1986, and also as its chairman.
The estate was a grand vision beginning in the 1930's by the Brookes family with its original rhododendrons grown from seed from the Rothschilds at Exbury.
Their son John Brookes sold Flint Hill after compiling his gardening memoir, Flint Hill 1922-1955.
When the Carnegie's Rod and Carmen, bought Flint Hill in 1980 the property had become neglected overrun with blackberries.
