Almost an English Village – Unique Artisan-Built Home
Inspired by the timeless charm of 15th-century English cottages, this remarkable property is a true labour of love. Designed and built by an artist-turned-craftsman, it embodies the character and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Set on approximately 2 hectares at the northern edge of Castlemaine, the property offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by beautiful English-style plantings. With mains power, mains water, and a dam, it blends rural tranquillity with modern convenience.
Constructed with exceptional attention to detail, the home features locally sourced materials, including timber, mud brick, stone, and handmade bricks. Traditional building techniques, wattle and daub, cob walls, hand-plastered ceilings finished with lime wash, add to its authenticity and charm.
The estate includes multiple structures, each with a distinct purpose. The main residence adjoins an unfinished guest/short-stay accommodation, offering potential for expansion. A self-contained cottage provides additional living space, while a barn-style workshop and a two-level studio office cater to creative or business pursuits.
This is more than just a home, it’s a living work of art, offering a rare opportunity to own a handcrafted village-like setting steeped in history and charm.
