Located between the regional cities of Albury/Wodonga and the historic town of Beechworth, 51 Star Lane Wooragee is full of potential. Offered for the first time since its transformation circa 1997, this magnificent lifestyle property incorporating the acclaimed Star Lane Winery is an opportunity for those looking to relax in one of North East Victoria's finest destinations or looking to commercialise this established vineyard.
Over a sprawling 44.7 acres, the vineyard boasts 10 acres of Shiraz, Merlot and Chardonnay vines, meticulously planned for ease of operation and exceptional quality of fruit and wines.
The architecturally designed winery and cellar door building features the winery on the ground floor, including a climate-controlled barrel room, the first floor boasting the cellar door with views of the winery below, an elevated deck overlooking the vineyard and a commercial kitchen.
