A rare opportunity to own a piece of Victorian motor racing history awaits with this remarkable 20-acre (approx.) Wandin North estate. Once part of the legendary Lakeland Hillclimb racetrack throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the property’s winding tracks and hidden roads still whisper stories of its thrilling past — now reimagined as a tranquil country retreat just minutes from Melbourne suburbia.
Beyond the gates lies a world of natural beauty — rolling paddocks, manicured gardens, lush bushland, sprawling lawns and a private lake alive with ducks and native birdlife. To wander this property is to step into serenity itself — a secluded haven where peace and nature take centre stage.
At its heart sits the charming main residence, affectionately known as “Green Gables.” Nestled amid manicured lawns and framed by towering gums, this three-bedroom home blends warmth, character, and comfort. The main bedroom includes an ensuite with a shower-over-bath, while the spacious living area with wood-burning fireplace invites you to relax, entertain, or simply watch the changing light over the garden. Sliding doors open to a wide deck, perfect for morning coffee or an evening wine as the sun sets over the treetops. A double carport completes the main residence.
A contemporary kitchen with subway-tiled splashback, abundant cabinetry and garden outlooks connects seamlessly to the dining area — with an additional space ideal as a study nook or sitting room. The family bathroom features a timber vanity and stained-glass window, adding a touch of heritage charm. With split system heating/cooling, ceiling fans and generous verandah, deck and patio, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to stargazing, BBQs, or evening drinks under the open sky.
Perfect for guests, extended family, or as an inspiring creative retreat, the self-contained “Lakeland Lodge” sits gracefully beside the lake — its timeless brick façade reflected in the water. Along with its own carport, inside you’ll find a cosy living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
The property also boasts six sheds, including a substantial main shed with mezzanine, bar, fireplace, kitchenette, separate toilet and ample storage — ideal for hobbyists, trades, or car enthusiasts.
Offering history, heart, and unmatched tranquillity, this property is a truly rare offering — a place where the past meets present, and where every day feels like a country escape.
