A restored brick homestead on 50.2 acres (approx) beneath the granite face of Mount Alexander. Offered across two separate titles, an uncommon proposition in this tightly held corridor. Fenced paddocks, established horse infrastructure, and a period home of genuine quality, ten minutes drive (approx) from Castlemaine with easy access to the Calder Freeway.
The house anchors the property without dominating it. A wide wraparound verandah steps into a central hallway with timber floors, ornate plasterwork, high ceilings, and double-hung windows. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is contemporary in fit-out: Smeg 900mm induction cooktop and oven, Miele dishwasher, stone benchtops, and a considered minimalist layout, while retaining the proportions of the original build. A separate front lounge with a solid wood heater and split system provides a second living option. Three bedrooms, all with built-in robes; main with split system. Family bathroom with clawfoot bath, shower, and period-style vanity. Separate laundry. Mudroom and covered alfresco area extend the living outside.
The Land
Ancient gums, granite boulders, and rolling paddocks frame the Mount Alexander backdrop. The approx 50.2 acres are held across two separate titles, each with its own distinct identity and potential. Retain both for the full rural holding, sell one to offset the purchase price, or explore future development options STCA. For buyers seeking a foothold in this tightly held corridor between Castlemaine and Harcourt, two titles at this acreage rarely come to market together.
The property is well configured for horses and light grazing: fenced paddocks, two dams, and a 6-megalitre piped water entitlement automatically topping up five tanks. The established garden is irrigated with underground sprinklers and includes ornamental trees, three mature palms, a mix of native and ornamental plantings, and a productive orchard that includes fig, walnut, and cherry.
Infrastructure
The original dairy has been converted to stables and tack rooms, immediately functional for equestrian use. Additional outbuildings include a hay shed, garage, and three-car carport. Integrated solar system and two heat pumps. Large chicken enclosure.
Water-secure, horse-ready, and offered across two separate titles in Central Victoria’s most picturesque countryside. Castlemaine and Harcourt are close by; Bendigo and Melbourne are within easy reach.
