Set high at the top of Barkers Creek on 25.09 hectares (61.99 acres), 214 White Gum Road offers sweeping rural views, genuine privacy and an extraordinary sense of escape. Yet for all its seclusion, Castlemaine is approximately 12 minutes away, Bendigo around 30 minutes, and the Calder Freeway just 5 minutes away. It is space without isolation, and that is what makes this holding so distinctive.
At the heart of the property is a warm four-bedroom brick veneer home filled with country character. Slate floors, comfortable living spaces and a wood fire create an inviting place to settle in, while the deck opens to the landscape beyond.
The home includes a well-equipped kitchen with an electric oven and gas cooktop, an updated bathroom with separate shower and bath, laundry and flexible accommodation across two levels. The main bedroom features its own split system reverse cycle unit and outdoor access, while the substantial upstairs bedroom could serve as guest accommodation, a home office or creative retreat.
Beyond the home is substantial infrastructure already in place. A stone barn with concrete flooring and power is complemented by a separate powered storage shed, a woodshed, extensive dog kennels and a cattery with water and electricity.
Formerly home to the well-known Purdy's Pet Hotel, these established facilities offer exciting possibilities for animal lovers, hobby farmers or those wishing to explore an animal related or home-based enterprise. Recreating this infrastructure elsewhere would require considerable time, planning and investment.
Mains power is connected, while two dams, a large concrete water tank and additional water tanks support the property's rural lifestyle.
A family sanctuary. A peaceful country retreat. A place for animals. Or simply somewhere to create a quieter and more spacious way of life.
Properties offering this combination are exceptionally difficult to find and even harder to recreate.
For its next owner, 214 White Gum Road is an opportunity to make it entirely their own.
