290 Golden Point Road, Golden Point VIC 3451

This modern house showcases clean lines and a calm, airy atmosphere. Situated atop 10 acres, the house has long forest views in every direction and out the back door is your own serene and private bushland, home to wallabies, kangaroos, and echidnas. The building has been cut into the surrounding rock, creating a unique and appealing look. The house is hidden from view from the street but still offers easy access to Castlemaine (10 mins) or out the back to the Calder Freeway for the commute to Bendigo or Melbourne. Castlemaine train station is a short drive away, with ample car parking and a newly reduced fare to the city ($10).

The north facing patio overlooks the garden and bushland on Forest Creek. This is where you sit and watch the incredible sunsets, and the many native birds that love to visit the shrubs and bird bath.

In the main section there are two large bedrooms, one with built-ins, the second with a walk-in robe. The bathroom has a deep-set bath big enough for two, easily serviced by the solar system.

Connected to the second bedroom is a self-contained studio, or master bedroom with large bathroom and kitchenette. The studio can be rented or could be used as a retreat for family or guests. It has a separate entrance and a private deck overlooking a vege garden and bush. A water tank sitting outside the studio is plumbed and ready to provide tank water to the kitchen if required.

The layout of this property is highly flexible and could accommodate a variety of family situations, or be used to generate income.

In winter the property is warmed by the wood heater or the split system if preferred. In summer the house is cooled by the high louvred windows and ceiling fans that let out the heat, and the polished concrete floor that sits on the rock base, keeping remarkably cool. There are 100% block-out blinds on the western side. The house has been designed with every season in mind with double glazing and excellent insulation.

There is a fully fenced yard area on the north side, which protects precious fruit trees and raised garden beds from curious kangaroos and wallabies. Beyond the property boundaries you will find a multitude of historic bush walks and most importantly, easy access to the Expedition Pass Reservoir. This is one of the areas most cherished swimming and walking locations and is just a stroll along the bush track away.
