3 Union Street, Maldon VIC 3463

With its earthy architecture and deep connection to place, this mudbrick villa is a rare offering-a handcrafted home immersed in nature, yet just under a kilometre from the heart of town. Set on two acres of richly planted gardens and native bushland, and overlooking the tranquil waters of South German Dam, it offers a lifestyle that feels both grounded and elevated.

The home is wrapped in wide, brick-paved verandahs-ideal for slow mornings or shaded afternoons. Every room is designed to open outward: all three bedrooms feature French doors to the garden, blurring the line between inside and out. An additional 4th bedroom sits just beside the main residence, perfect for guests or as a peaceful workspace.

At the heart of the home is a modern kitchen with raked ceilings, sleek glass splashback, and stainless steel electric appliances. The adjoining living and dining area flows with ease, warmed by a solid fuel heater with a timber mantel, while a split system ensures year-round comfort. Timber-lined ceilings and mudbrick walls give the interiors a quiet, tactile warmth that speaks to the craftsmanship of the build.

Entertaining is effortless here-whether under the covered alfresco and BBQ area or inside the generous indoor spaces. There's also a four-car garage, single carport, and a striking corrugated iron–clad studio building positioned to take in elevated views across the dam-offering a sanctuary for artists, remote workers, or those simply seeking inspiration.

Sustainability is seamlessly integrated with a 4.4kW solar system, heat pump hot water, and thoughtful use of natural materials. The surrounding bushland teems with birdlife and native wildlife, creating a living soundtrack to daily life.
While the setting feels wonderfully secluded, you're less than a kilometre from the centre of historic Maldon. With cafés, shops, pubs, and the primary school all close at hand, daily life is made easy.

This is not just a property-it's a beautifully realised retreat. A place to create, to rest, and to connect with the land in a way few homes allow.
