Buying Property in Nagambie: Lake Nagambie Wine Region, Premium Tourism, and the Strathbogie Section 32

|11 min read

Nagambie is the Strathbogie Shire premium tourism town on Lake Nagambie — about 130 kilometres north of Melbourne. The town is the centre of a substantial wine region anchored by Mitchelton and Tahbilk wineries (both major producers, Tahbilk established 1860). The Section 32 framework reflects vineyard Section 173, marina dynamics, and tightly held lakeside market.
