Federation Character. Bush Setting. Five Acres of Breathing Room.

3 1 4

Elevated on 5.49 acres (approximately) at the edge of the bush, this Federation homestead sits within easy reach of the Castlemaine Steiner School and Golf Club, with town, the train line, and all the amenities of Castlemaine just a short drive away.

The house holds its period character with care. Gumnut cornices, pressed metal ceilings, pine floors, ornate plasterwork, stained glass, and decorative timber hallway arches give the interior a warmth that's genuinely earned. The entry hallway sets the tone, a stained glass door panel with native birds, beaded wainscoting, and the kind of proportions that slow you down.

Three well-sized bedrooms sit off the central hallway. Two face the front, framed by bush views through dark-trimmed windows. The third has private access to the bathroom, which features a corrugated iron shower screen, mosaic floor tiles, and a simple white vanity.

The formal dining room opens via French doors to the wide wraparound verandah, its cathedral ceiling with exposed dark beams and clerestory windows giving the space real presence. The adjoining kitchen is timber-benched and well-considered - Falcon freestanding gas range, Asko dishwasher, a butler's sink framing a bush outlook, and a central island that keeps the space easy to work in. Informal dining sits alongside. The living room connects directly, anchored by a wood heater and a second split system, with the verandah never far away.

Updated infrastructure includes an integrated solar system, solar hot water, two split systems, honeycomb blinds, and ceiling fans. The property runs on tank water and bottled gas.

Outside, dry-stone rock walling, corten raised beds, established fruit trees, and a watering system give way to 5.49 acres of private bush. A 12m x 7.5m shed with a concrete floor, power, and water completes the picture.

A property where the character is original and the setting does the rest.
