60 Bowden Street

Castlemaine VIC 3450

Perched in the treetops and looking out over Castlemaine, this is a house unlike any other. Tucked away from the street, it consists of three levels and a flexible floor plan, offering two self-contained living spaces, each with a kitchen, living, bathroom and separate entry. The house was lovingly constructed by the original owner-builder from radially sawn yellow stringybark and recycled timbers, including ancient turpentine pylons, reclaimed from the submarine wharves of Sydney Harbour.

At the front of the property is a workshop and studio/3rd bedroom with its own garden and the main house is reached via a suspended walkway looking over the paved fire pit below. At each of the three levels, the living spaces open onto spacious timber decks, each with spectacular views, all at treetop level and taking in the historic township of Castlemaine. Built on a generous allotment of 1535sqm (approx), this unique property is within walking distance to the town centre, the railway station, the Bridge Hotel, weekly farmers markets and The Mill Arts and Culture precinct.

Improvements include hydronic heating, reverse cycle air conditioner, wood-fired stove, dishwasher, and outdoor blinds. Outside, there are two water tanks for garden use, established eucalypts, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and raised wicking beds on the main deck for growing herbs. All town services are available including gas cooking and hot water, as well as the option of NBN or Starlink satellite.
