Overview

Grand Family Living on 2.5 Acres

If your dream brief reads kids upstairs, parents' retreat, pets, pony and pizza nights under the stars, this one ticks the lot. Set privately across approx. 2.5 acres of park like grounds with access to town water, this 5 bedroom double storey home is made for hide-and-seek and Sunday cricket. Inside, every window frames the garden like living art. A formal entry leads to a generous lounge with a bay window and sliding doors to a sunny north facing courtyard. A light filled north facing sunroom is your quiet corner for books, jigsaw puzzles and winter sunshine. The dining room opens to a supersized 13m x 7.4m alfresco - think long tables, fairy lights and an outdoor kitchen ready to go with hot and cold water already plumbed. The kitchen is family ready with a Smeg 900 mm freestanding oven, 2 drawer dishwasher, plumbed fridge, walk-in pantry and wrap around bench for homework and taste testing. A powder room, walk-in linen, full laundry and a flexible fifth bedroom or home office with its own entrance complete the ground floor - ideal for multi-generational living or private consults. Upstairs, a central sitting area looks over the gardens. The main bedroom features a walk-in robe and ensuite. 3 more bedrooms each have walk-in robes and leafy views, while the family bathroom brings a spa bath, shower, vanity and a separate toilet. Comfort is covered with evaporative cooling, ground-floor in-slab heating, split systems, ceiling fans and a handy laundry chute. Outside is where the magic happens. A circular drive sweeps to a 6m x 6m double garage with direct alfresco access for easy unloads. The rear garden blends into a whimsical "secret garden" of perennials, plus a fire pit zone for marshmallows and stargazing. Kids can race the dog across lush lawns before heading to the paddock - protected by kangaroo and rabbit-proof fencing. For tinkerers and toy-collectors, there's serious shedding: a 9m x 13.5m garage/workshop for the car enthusiast, a 6m x 9m machinery shed, plus side driveway access with a secure gate and room for the caravan, boat or horse float. The approx. 1 acre fenced paddock with established gums and chicken pen invites ponies, alpacas or a hobby farm chapter. On Richards Road you'll also find the Castlemaine Pony Club and there's easy access to Walmer Forest Reserve with around 60 km of singletrack for riding and adventure. All of this is less than 2 minutes from Castlemaine's cafes, schools, station and the Botanical Gardens when you need to reconnect. Grand living with heart - this is a home that feels like the beginning of a very good story
