The wide and sunny verandah on the upper level is the perfect place for watching local birdlife, such as rosellas and rainbow bee eaters. On entering, you are greeted by a whitewashed interior, dining and kitchen area that opens up into a delightful sitting room with an open fireplace. Two bedrooms, either could be used as a studio or office, adjoin the main rooms.

On the lower level beside a paved area, there is a bathroom, laundry and toilet. On this level there is also a store room and an additional bedroom, both of which were used as cold storage for food and beverages during the property's heyday as a pub.

The gardens and driveway have many European trees, together with native flowering shrubs and roses. The paddock is fully fenced and a perfect spot for a pony or alpaca. The total land size is 0.5 hectares, 1.23 acres (approximately).

Whether you are looking for a weekender, or simply a special place, this opportunity will not last long.

The property is set in the heart of tranquil bushland. Leaving the property, you will quickly enter the Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park (just 200m away to the north or south) and can walk for hours. You can expect to see wallabies, echidnas, wildflowers and a variety of birdlife along the way. Your route might take you along sections of old mining trails with associated relics.

This quiet location is within 20 minutes convenient reach of the historic township of Castlemaine. It is 30 minutes from both Woodend and Daylesford, local centres known for their arts and food scenes. For trips to the city, Malmsbury Station is only 15 minutes away.
