6 Happy Valley Road Castlemaine, 3450 VIC

Long Views, Quiet Mornings and Town Close By

4 2 1

A white timber gate, a gravel drive and a long view down the paddock. This property sits on 8.8 acres (approx.) in a desirable part of Castlemaine. Bushland and the Leanganook Track run along the edge of the land, and the town lies just beyond. You are minutes from central Castlemaine, yet wonderfully tucked away.

Inside the three-bedroom period home, ornate plaster ceilings sit above leadlight windows and timber floorboards. The lounge and the dining room each have a bay window. Both look out over the green pasture and the Leanganook Track. Morning light reaches the rooms early and stays late. The kitchen is white and country in style, with window cabinets, an island bench, a double wall oven and a dishwasher. A window above the cooktop looks to the rotunda and the paddock. A sliding door opens to the deck. It is an easy step out for a morning coffee, or a long lunch with family and friends. One of the three bedrooms has built-in robes, and the contemporary new bathroom has a back-to-wall fluted bath, a shower, a vanity and a toilet. There is a Euro laundry, and a brand-new fully ducted air conditioner and heating system keeps the house comfortable through the seasons.

The studio stands apart from the house. It suits visiting family and friends, or multi-generational living. It has a bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, vanity and toilet, and a kitchenette with living and dining space under a raised ceiling. It has its own split system and double doors open to a deck facing the pasture, Forrest Creek and the Leanganook Track.

The paddock falls gently away, with the dam nearby. A gravel path winds from the house to the rotunda, a quiet place to sit and watch the landscape change. Two large water tanks and a carport look after the practical side.

The setting is peaceful and well connected. Castlemaine Primary School, shops and everyday amenities are close by, and town is 900m away. Walk in along the Leanganook Track, or follow the Goldfields Track towards Chewton. Kalimna Park is also within walking distance. There is room here for a vegetable garden, an orchard, a few animals or a project of your own. Turn in at the white fence, follow the drive and let Happy Valley do the rest.
