The Homestead @ Glenwood is a beautifully reimagined 7-bedroom, 3-bathroom mudbrick home, originally built as a spiritual retreat and now transformed into stunning holiday accommodation. Crafted from natural materials—cedar, exposed brick, reclaimed posts and beams, and elegant parquetry floors—it offers an authentic farmhouse experience. Overlooking a serene lake and sprawling lawns, this tranquil escape is just 20 minutes from Benalla.
The space
Welcome to The Homestead, part of the Glenwood Farm Accommodation collection. Set on 200 acres of rolling farmland, this spacious mudbrick home offers the perfect retreat for family gatherings, friend reunions, and peaceful escapes.
With seven bedrooms, multiple living spaces, and wide open skies, it’s ideal for groups wanting to relax and reconnect. You'll love the home’s natural textures, warm interiors, and views across the Victorian countryside.
Enjoy the peaceful location, yet you're still close to the Winton Motor Raceway, Benalla, and the gourmet regions of Milawa and the King Valley.

‘The Homestead @ Glenwood’ has two internal living spaces (one with wood fireplace) and the Hamptons inspired north facing deep verandah with plenty of alfresco living to enjoy, giving you the feeling that you could be in the middle of Provence’s wine country taking in the serenity of the lake sparkling in the sunshine. Interior designed to create a country style accent on Hamptons style charm, the main living area enjoys a 3-seater country style couch and a 50inch TV (set-top box and DVD player), a provincial style dining table for 8 and a breakfast bar for 4 in the well-equipped kitchen. The second living area has two sitting areas – one in front of the 80-inch smart TV, the other in front of the wood fire, plus there is a dedicated desk if you need to do some work or study during your stay. You’ll be spoilt for coffee choices with a Breville coffee machine, French press, and instant coffee in the kitchen, plus lots of condiments, herbs and spices and supplies for you to use. The four bedrooms (three queen size beds and one king single bed) on the north side of the house all have access to the verandah. There is one bedroom with a private ensuite and all the bathrooms remain in their neutral retro authenticity while kept immaculate for today’s needs. The laundry has been renovated to bring the farmhouse style into the home, allowing all the storage to be in one place. All the rooms have been thoughtfully decorated to feel plush and inviting, giving a sense of relaxed country pride. The house is air conditioned in the living spaces, ceiling fans in each bedroom, and we provide individual heaters to the bedrooms in winter.
There’s plenty to do for families or couples having a weekend together, or the perfect fit for those family and friends attending an event locally, or even for work colleagues working locally who want the feeling of being on holiday after work.
