Firefighters brought the blaze under control on Tuesday afternoon after it started in a paddock about midday at Graytown, a deserted Victorian gold mining township east of Bendigo.
They saved several houses, but hay and machinery sheds were lost.
The blaze, which grew to more than 170 hectares, prompted a watch and act alert for Graytown and Moormbool West as it moved north.
That warning was downgraded, advising the public to monitor conditions.
There are 22 Country Fire Authority vehicles on site along with water-bombing aircraft.
