Having started life in the early 1900s as the home of the local school headmaster, this sprawling Victorian weatherboard is very much part of Campbell's Creek history.
Set on a level, fully fenced, 3,162 sqm (.75-acre) within the Township Zone and boasting subdivision potential (STCA), the lifestyle and development opportunities this unique property offers are both endless and exciting.
Of traditional homestead design the home boasts, a gabled roof, length of house rear verandah and wide, sweeping return front verandah as well as period features including some timber-lined ceilings and sash windows. Opening off the wide hallway are two bedrooms, one larger with open fireplace. Beyond is a third bedroom, plus the main family area with sliding door to a separate dining room opening to the side verandah and gardens. The practical country kitchen with timber cabinetry adjoins the laundry which accesses a spacious mud room with dual access to the family bathroom and rear verandah with storage/office room. There's an obvious freedom with the floorplan to provide flexibility of use to suit your needs.
Surrounding the home are a number of sheds and garaging including a double carport, two lock up garages and workshop with flooring from the historic Cobb & Co stables, wood store and additional garden and storage sheds. The established gardens, include wild quince, a variety of fruit, deciduous and native trees plus a decorative Japanese Maple, and expansive grassed areas. All town services are connected.
Largely in original condition, there's work to be done in order to not only restore her to her former glory, but also provide a home with all the comfort and amenities we expect today. The option to redevelop the block through subdivision (STCA) offers an excellent alternative that definitely warrants serious consideration, particularly given the heart of Campbell's Creek location close to the primary school, general store and iconic Five Flags Hotel. Central Castlemaine is an easy 5 minute drive. Create the lifestyle you've always dreamed of, or reap the financial rewards of redevelopment.
