Imagine waking each morning to birdsong, wandering through your own gardens with a coffee in hand, collecting produce from the veggie patch, and ending the day gathered with family and friends as the sun disappears behind the trees.
For the current owners, that has been everyday life.
Now, for the first time in years, 356 McGuiness Lane offers someone new the opportunity to call this remarkable lifestyle their own.
A remarkable lifestyle property where the value isn't simply found in the acres, the infrastructure, or even the home itself.
Hidden away in the peaceful surrounds of Wooragee, just 10 minutes from the historic gold rush town of Beechworth, is a property that defies easy description.
 Part country retreat.
 Part productive small farm.
 Part entertainer's dream.
 And entirely unforgettable.
Set on approximately 10 acres of established gardens, productive growing spaces, natural water sources with running water and natural springs, and thoughtfully developed infrastructure, 356 McGuiness Lane is the kind of property people spend years searching for and rarely find.
This is a property that has evolved over many years through vision, hard work and genuine love. Every garden bed, every fruit tree, every pathway and gathering space tells a story of a family who didn't just live here - they built a lifestyle around connection, self-sufficiency and enjoying the simple pleasures that matter most.
This is the kind of place where memories are made without trying.
At its heart sits a warm and welcoming home filled with character and individuality. Beautiful clerestory leadlight windows filter natural light through the living spaces, creating moments of warmth and charm throughout the day. It's a home that feels comfortable from the moment you step inside - relaxed, inviting and entirely unpretentious.
The thoughtfully designed kitchen, generous pantry, flexible living spaces and comfortable bedrooms provide everything needed for everyday life, while still offering scope for future owners to make the property their own.
Outside, the lifestyle truly comes into its own.
Established veggie gardens and orchard plantings support a productive and sustainable way of living. Two dams and a spring-fed creek bring both beauty and practicality to the land, while secure fencing makes the property ideal for livestock, hobby farming or simply enjoying the space and freedom that small acreage provides.
And then there's the entertaining area - a space unlike anything you'll find in a typical residential property.
Complete with a built-in bar, games area, lounge space and room to host family and friends year-round, it has been the backdrop to countless celebrations, milestones and unforgettable gatherings. It's easy to imagine birthdays, Christmases, weekend barbecues and long summer evenings unfolding here for years to come.
Practicality has not been forgotten either.
Workshops, storage solutions, machinery areas, water infrastructure and solar power all combine to create a property that functions as well as it inspires.
Yet what truly makes 356 McGuiness Lane special is something far harder to measure.
It's the feeling.
The feeling of having room to breathe.
The feeling of growing your own food.
The feeling of watching the seasons change across your own piece of land.
The feeling of creating a life that feels simpler, richer and more connected.
Properties like this are incredibly difficult to find.
Not because of the acreage.
Not because of the improvements.
But because places with genuine soul are rare.
And once people find them, they tend to hold onto them.
Until now.
What makes 356 McGuiness Lane truly special is that its story doesn't end here.
For some, this will be the perfect home exactly as it is — a warm, welcoming lifestyle property surrounded by gardens, water, established infrastructure and everything needed to embrace country living from day one.
But for others, it may be the beginning of something even bigger.
With approximately 10 acres of usable land, established services, extensive infrastructure and breathtaking rural surrounds, the property presents an exciting opportunity to create a future dream residence (STCA) while continuing to enjoy everything that has already been thoughtfully established.
Imagine designing the home you've always wanted without starting from a bare paddock.
The dams are already here.
The gardens are already thriving.
The orchard is already producing.
The entertaining spaces are already bringing people together.
The hard work has already been done.
All that's left is to decide what comes next.
Whether you're searching for a lifestyle property to enjoy today or a canvas on which to create your forever home tomorrow, 356 McGuiness Lane offers something increasingly rare — the freedom to choose
