Premium Macedon Ranges grazing holding offers scale, flexibility and proximity to Melbourne

A highly regarded grazing property of exceptional standard in central Victoria’s tightly held Macedon Ranges region has been listed for sale, offering a rare combination of scale, quality and proximity to Melbourne.

Known as Avington, the property spans 617.50 hectares and is being offered as a whole or as two separate holdings, providing flexibility for a range of purchasers.

Avington was historically part of a larger aggregation transacted in 2022, with this portion now being re-offered following the expiry of an option agreement relating to the property.

Located in the scenic, reliable Sidonia district, approximately 75 minutes from inner Melbourne and just North of Kyneton, the property has been extensively developed over two decades to create a productive and efficient grazing enterprise, now suited to prime lamb and wool production.

CBRE Agribusiness agents Shane McIntyre and Matt Childs have been appointed to manage the campaign, with the property for sale via a two-stage Expressions of Interest process.

The offering includes a highly improved centrepieceholding, ‘Avington’ (303.70ha), which comprises the property’s key infrastructure and accommodation, alongside ‘Avington West’ (313.80ha), a productive grazing parcel with strong natural appeal and future development potential (S.T.C.A).

Mr Childs said the opportunity was expected to generate strong interest from high-net-worth buyers seeking a premium rural asset within easy commuting distance of Melbourne.

“Avington represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly developed and visually appealing holding in one of Victoria’s most desirable rural regions,” Mr Childs said.

“The property has been carefully improved over many years, with a strong focus on pasture development, water security, scenic appeal and operational efficiency, resulting in a well-balanced and highly functional grazing asset.”

The property has a carrying capacity of approximately 8,500 dry sheep equivalents (DSE) and benefits from fertile soils, established pasture systems and reliable rainfall of approximately 750 millimetres annually.

All major infrastructure is located on the Avington holding and includes a shearing complex, machinery shed and workshop, and associated operational improvements, supported by high-quality accommodation including an architecturally designed homestead with guest wing and a manager’s residence.

“A key feature of this offering is the flexibility it provides, with buyers able to secure the full aggregation or acquire either holding independently, depending on their objectives,” Mr McIntyre said.

“‘Avington West’ in particular presents as a highly attractive standalone holding, offering productive grazing country, panoramic views and the opportunity to establish a future residence, subject to council approval.”

The Macedon Ranges region continues to attract strong buyer interest due to its combination of reliable rainfall, productive land and close proximity to Melbourne and key regional centres.
