35 Forest Street, Woodend VIC 3442

Built circa 1926 and formerly home to the Woodend Masonic Lodge, this is a rare offering of immense commercial or residential potential (subject to relevant approvals) on 1701m² (approx.) in a prime Woodend setting.

The building stands as a well-preserved example of a country masonic hall. Defined by its gabled form, simple classical details, red brick façade, and iconic masonic symbols, it offers timeless architectural presence with character-rich appeal.

The level site measures approximately 25.5m wide x 67m deep and backs onto Earnshaw Street, providing potential dual frontage and/or rear access. Internally, two expansive gallery-like spaces with timber floors lend themselves to a range of uses, complemented by a functional kitchen, three toilets, and solar panels.

The building offers extensive scope for multiple uses-whether repurposed as a gallery, exhibition venue, wellness studio, artisanal café, wine bar, professional office suites, co-working space, event centre, theatre, or even a one-of-a-kind residential dwelling (STCA). The scale, structure, and centrality offer an open canvas for imaginative development.

With vibrant High Street, cafés, bars, boutiques, and the V/Line station steps away, and the Calder Freeway nearby providing an easy commute to Melbourne in under an hour-this is an unparalleled opportunity to shape something remarkable in the heart of the Macedon Ranges.
