Last Listing description (September 2025)
Brimming with potential and personality, this charming 1960s-era property offers the best of country living with modern convenience. Set on approximately 1.7 acres with Barkers Creek forming a natural boundary, the home is surrounded by shady gums and park-like gardens-perfect for those seeking space, privacy, and a connection to nature.
Step through a circular driveway and vine-covered verandah into the main residence, a light-filled home with original timber floors and an inviting retro aesthetic. The open-plan living and dining area features a wood fire heater, ceiling fan, and split system, while the kitchen offers wrap-around benchtops, a freestanding gas oven and cooktop, and a view over the back garden and bushland beyond. Three generous bedrooms (main with built-in robes) are serviced by a retro-style bathroom and a practical laundry with direct outdoor access.
Outside, the low-maintenance garden features established trees, a fenced orchard, and town water supply, with bottled gas and a solar system contributing to energy efficiency.
A major bonus is the beautifully finished, north-facing self-contained studio, ideal for a home-based business, guest accommodation or creative retreat (STCA). Measuring approx. 5.7m x 9.8m, it includes a vaulted ceiling, kitchenette, ensuite bathroom, split system, excellent insulation and double-glazed French doors that open to a private, enclosed orchard.
The large double garage (9m x 6m) is a shed-dweller's dream, complete with concrete floor and power, plus an additional 3m x 6m carport and a lean-to at the rear for extra storage.
Located just minutes from Castlemaine's shops, schools and train station (with Melbourne only 1.5 hours by train), and with easy access to the Calder Freeway, this lifestyle property is full of charm, comfort, and potential.
The studio is currently tenanted until the end of August 2025.
