With its enviable location just a short walk to the train station, Castlemaine's Botanical Gardens, the Mill Complex, and the vibrant town centre, this distinctive estate offers something rare- heritage architecture, flexible spaces and a wealth of lifestyle options. Successfully enjoyed as both a private haven and, as a popular and lucrative short-term accommodation retreat, its central position and unique character have made it a sought-after destination.
The Cottage – A story from the 1860s
At the heart of the estate stands a lovingly restored timber miner's cottage, dating back to the 1860s. Timeworn character has been carefully preserved, from its simple lines to its welcoming proportions, while a thoughtful renovation has brought comfort and ease. Three bedrooms, ducted gas heating, and a refined bathroom sit within walls that still hold the charm of another era. French doors open from the living room onto a decked terrace- an intimate space for dining, unwinding, and sharing moments with friends against the backdrop of a golden Castlemaine evening.
The Barn-style pool house – Drama and Elegance Combined
Beyond the cottage, a barn-style pool house rises with rustic grandeur. Vaulted ceilings and polished concrete floors create a striking first impression, while Velux windows and expansive doors invite light and views of terraced gardens. The open-plan design flows to a mezzanine bedroom, blending scale with intimacy. Overlooking the sparkling in-ground pool and surrounded by roses, it is a space that shifts effortlessly between guest accommodation, retreat, and entertaining pavilion.
The Grounds – A garden to explore
Every path leads to discovery here, set across 1300m2. Stone and brick garden walls frame winding walkways, rose beds flourish, and views unfold across the property with a sense of romance at every turn. The modern pool gleams as a centerpiece, promising long summer days, while a lock-up garage adds quiet practicality to the dream.
A home of many futures
This is a property with soul - one that has already proven its popularity with visitors, but equally offers itself as a cherished family compound or multi-generational home. Here, character and lifestyle converge, offering not just a residence but a timeless Castlemaine home awaiting its next chapter..
