Last Listing description (December 2025)
In the heart of historic Chewton, folklore whispers that this enchanting miner's cottage, dating back to the 1850s, is among the earliest homes in the township. Today, it stands as a serene retreat where provincial elegance meets the rugged beauty of the goldfields. Set on approximately 1430sqm, this property offers a rare chance to own a piece of history while embracing a lifestyle of calm and charm.
Step inside and feel the embrace of thick lime-rendered stone walls, soft grey-washed timber ceilings, and raked and coved details that speak of craftsmanship from another era. Light pours through 6x6 windows, illuminating spaces dressed in muted tones and natural textures. The living area, warmed by a gas heater inset into a period surround, invites quiet evenings and fireside conversations. Two bedrooms offer restful retreats, the main gazing out to the pretty front garden.
Glass pocket doors open to an updated kitchen, where stone benchtops, a country-style sink, and French-inspired cabinetry create a space that feels both fresh and timeless. Black accents and modern appliances-including a steam oven, electric cooktop, a split system and a Jtul woodstove-blend seamlessly with the cottage's heritage. A north-facing sunroom overlooks the garden, perfect for morning coffee or golden afternoon light.
The bathroom combines practicality with bespoke charm, featuring a bath, shower, vanity, and laundry facilities. Throughout, ceiling fans and the cottage's thick walls enhance climate control, while an integrated solar system adds modern sustainability.
Beyond the cottage, the grounds are a private sanctuary. A circular driveway hedged with rosemary, a paved courtyard, and stone walling set the tone for outdoor living. The garden is a picture of country beauty-roses, ornamental trees, pencil pines, and swathes of lavender and rosemary-all fully fenced for privacy. There's a water tank, garage, shed, and carport, ensuring practicality alongside charm.
The Old School House
Adding to the allure is an independent old school house, currently a successful Airbnb but equally suited as a creative studio or guest accommodation. With timber floors, two split systems, a bedroom, and an updated bathroom, this space offers flexibility and income potential.
This property is more than a home, it's a story. A place where history and romance meet, where you can escape for weekends or settle in for good. Surrounded by nature yet close to Castlemaine's vibrant culture, this property offers a lifestyle that feels like a true escape to the country.
