Last Listing description (June 2026)

Set on approximately 1.133ha (2.8 acres) along the historic Pyrenees Highway, this much-loved Chewton property delivers outstanding space, privacy and versatility-ideal for families, hobby farmers, horse owners, tradespeople, or anyone seeking a peaceful rural escape.

Hidden behind magnificent established trees and lush surrounds, the home enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting, creating a calm, leafy atmosphere perfect as a full-time residence, tranquil weekender or high-performing Airbnb retreat.

With Expedition Pass Reservoir nearby and Castlemaine's cafs, shops, schools and train station just 10 minutes away, the location offers the perfect balance of country charm and convenience.

The comfortable three-bedroom, one-bathroom Hardiplank home, built circa 1985, has been thoughtfully updated for efficient, low-maintenance living. Improvements include 21 Fronius solar panels, roof insulation batts, a Conia heat pump hot water system and a new home water pump installed in 2026. Year-round comfort is provided by reverse-cycle heating/cooling, LPG gas log heater.

Front and rear verandahs create inviting outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the peaceful gardens and surrounding natural beauty.

The grounds are rich with mature plantings and productive garden areas, including apple, plum, lemon, almond and fig trees, plus four wicking beds ideal for vegetables, herbs and seasonal flowers.

Native shrubs and flowering plants attract abundant birdlife including honeyeaters, blue wrens, parrots, cockatoos and majestic black cockatoos, filling the property with colour and birdsong.

Exceptional shedding and infrastructure add enormous appeal. A substantial 15m x 7m three-bay garage, built in 2005, features two electric roller doors, one manual roller door and two internal rooms-perfect for trades, storage, workshops, creative pursuits or a home business. Two garden sheds and a caravan shed provide additional flexibility. Horse owners will appreciate the fenced paddocks, laneway access and original stable creating a practical equestrian setup.

Water security is excellent, with three rainwater tanks totalling approximately 100,000 litres, a substantial rear dam stocked with fish and yabbies, and a new bore pump installed in 2025. The dam also provides a thriving habitat for frogs, birds and wildlife, enhancing the property's peaceful natural environment.

A true highlight is the charming Tack Room, originally part of a dairy and now transformed into an inviting all-season entertaining space complete with wood heater, BBQ area and leafy outlooks. In 2023, a 6m x 6m fully concreted covered entertaining area was added between the garage and Tack Room, creating the perfect setting for family gatherings, entertaining guests or Airbnb accommodation potential.

Combining character, infrastructure, privacy, water security and natural beauty, 729 Pyrenees Highway presents a rare lifestyle opportunity with endless possibilities.
