Beautifully positioned on approximately 10 acres, bordered by Muckleford State Forest on three sides, this unique property offers two separate dwellings, ideal for extended family living, guest accommodation, or a quieter country lifestyle, just 12 minutes from Castlemaine.
The main residence offers four bedrooms, a central kitchen, separate living and dining areas, and a bathroom. Timber-lined interiors, exposed timber ceilings and large windows create a rustic country character, while the covered patio provides a sheltered space to enjoy the surrounding gardens.
The home has been comprehensively upgraded throughout, including rewiring electrical circuits, a new water pump and filtering system, new eaves and gutters, a reverse-cycle split system, and a 4.9 kW solar system with 12 kWh battery storage. Water supply is well catered for, with the main residence overlooking a dam of approximately 500,000L, recently cleaned out, alongside two 20,000L water tanks.
A separate, recently completed, self-contained studio offers a second dwelling with a spacious open-plan living area, bedroom, bathroom and walk-in robe, fully independent of the main residence, built with full council and building approval, and powered by its own 4.9 kW solar system with 8 kWh battery storage.
The studio features a passive solar design, 6 Star energy rating, custom handmade blackbutt doors and hardwood internal finishes.
With Maldon and Newstead each just 15 minutes away, this property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy rural living with the comfort of two well-appointed, thoroughly upgraded dwellings.
