Last Listing description (December 2025)
Set against the stunning natural beauty of Mount Alexander, this charming period weatherboard three-bedroom home offers a rare combination of country elegance, sustainable features, and family-friendly living. Positioned on approximately 16.96 acres of well-fenced paddocks with an additional 2.5-acre (approx) lease, the property delivers an enviable lifestyle just ten minutes from Castlemaine and within easy reach of Melbourne via the Calder Freeway.
A solar-powered entrance gate opens to a picturesque driveway lined with upright ornamental pear trees, setting the tone for what lies ahead. The home's welcoming faade leads into interiors rich with character, where ornate plasterwork and polished hardwood floors reflect its heritage charm. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the home includes an 8kW solar power system, solar hot water, a large rainwater tank, and insulation throughout-ensuring comfort and efficiency year-round.
At the heart of the home, the front living room exudes warmth, with large period windows and a solid wood heater creating a cosy retreat for cooler months. The central kitchen is designed for both functionality and family connection, featuring an island bench for casual meals, a walk-in pantry, freestanding gas cooking, and a dishwasher. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the dining area opens through double doors to a covered alfresco space-perfect for entertaining, morning coffees, or relaxed evenings overlooking the paddocks. A split system in the dining room ensures comfort in every season.
Accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in robes. The central bathroom features a shower over the bath, vanity, and toilet, while a separate laundry with a second toilet adds everyday practicality. A second living room at the rear of the home, with external access, extends the flexible layout and leads to a sheltered porch and a dedicated children's play zone complete with a cubby house and play equipment-an inviting retreat for younger family members.
Beyond the home, the property is fully equipped for rural living. A three-door garage with remote access, wood heater, and adjoining carport offers ample space for vehicles, hobbies, or workshop use. Additional shedding provides further versatility. The land is divided into seven electric-fenced paddocks with water troughs fed by a 104,000-litre rainwater tank (approx), while two expansive dams support effective water management for hobby farming or livestock. A long-term lease of an additional 2.5 acres (approx) on a 99-year agreement enhances the property's appeal and flexibility.
From peaceful winter days spent by the fire to summer evenings entertaining under the stars, this is a home designed to be lived in and loved. This is an opportunity to embrace sustainable country living with all the comforts of a well-appointed family home, just moments from Castlemaine.
