The Homestead
Living Legends is superbly situated at one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most historic thoroughbred properties – The Woodlands Historic Park, Homestead and Heritage Gardens.
Champion horses have been owned, bred and spelled on this property since the 1840’s, making it the ideal location for our retired equine royalty.
Woodlands Homestead is a unique and treasured part of Victoria’s heritage. Established in 1843, it is a rare example of a large pre-constructed timber kit house brought to Australia from Britain.
Today, the Woodlands Homestead houses an extensive art collection, historic artifacts, including The McCracken Collection, and horse racing memorabilia relating to our Living Legends and other Australian racing legends including Phar Lap, Carbine and Rising Fast.

Because of its historic significance, Woodlands Homestead is listed with Heritage Victoria. Living Legends is committed to the preservation of all that Woodlands Homestead and the Woodlands Historic Park has to offer our visitors from Victoria, Australia, and around the world
