Statement of Significance

Wandeen Farm has high local significance as a good example of a c1880 farmhouse in an attractive farm landscape and for its associations with the Drews. The house is significant as a characteristic but large example of its type, still with its Victorian circular drive in front of the house. Pine plantings along the driveway and the 1920s caretaker's cottage contribute to the landmark qualities of the property.

  Wandeen Farm - Physical Description 1
  
  Wandeen Farm is a large c1880 farmhouse (1) in an attractive farm landscape setting. The double-fronted gabled timber house is characteristic of its period. Details such as the double door entrance and the crazy-pave verandah floor date from the 1930s. Pines lining the driveway are of a considerable size, as are a number of other exotic plantings on the property which create a landmark from a distance. A Victorian feature is the very old tree in the circular drive in front of the house.
  
  The second smaller house is used now as a caretaker's cottage. (2)
  
  The property was purchased by Ninth Turiki Pty Ltd and covers approximately 5 hectares. Wandeen Farm is used in association with Roads End for the purpose of grazing.
