What Makes This Area Unique
Melbourne's country escape — Woodend, Kyneton, and the Macedon hill station tradition
Macedon Ranges covers Woodend, Kyneton, Romsey, Gisborne, and Mount Macedon. It has a long history as Melbourne's hill station escape — a place of cool-climate gardens, heritage homes, and weekend retreats. It's now a sought-after permanent residential area for tree-changers and remote workers.
Living here: Macedon Ranges offers the most refined regional lifestyle within commuting distance of Melbourne. Kyneton's food and design scene is genuinely excellent, and the landscape is beautiful year-round. Property prices reflect this — it's not a budget option. Winters are cold and fog can be persistent.
