This beautiful, north facing, stone cottage is set upon 4.3 ha of undulating woodland, located close to both the golf club and Steiner school and only 5 minutes from the heart of Castlemaine.
Entry is into a large living area with a high, timber-beamed cathedral ceiling and wood fired burner set into a stone chimney. The country style kitchen, with walk-in pantry, overlooks the garden and the dining area has large sliding glass doors opening out to the patio. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 with built in robes and a third loft bedroom/office with beautiful views over the surrounding landscape. The bathroom has a separate shower and bath with a lovely stained-glass window.
Externally the property has been thoughtfully landscaped with dry-stone walling, stone paving and a low maintenance, predominantly native garden. The rear patio includes a summer house for entertaining and an enclosed Jacuzzi. There is a large 4 bay garage/shed with power and concrete floor, a tree house and potting shed as well as a number of wicking beds for vegetables.
Another lovely feature is the large dam with a picnic setting and walking bridge to the mudbrick Chicken yard. The house has 4kw of solar power including solar powered iron gates at the entrance. This is a unique property, full of character and is ideal for those seeking an escape to the country.
