Welcome to Shadows Creswick — an unforgettable architectural masterpiece positioned proudly in the heart of Creswick, overlooking public open space and the Tourist Information Centre. Designed by renowned Moloney Architects, this striking home occupies a cleverly utilised, triangular parcel of land, filling the ‘missing tooth’ in the streetscape with bold creativity and refined detail.
A highly successful short-stay accommodation with exceptional occupancy rates and a strong return of approximately $60,000–$70,000 per annum, this property presents an outstanding opportunity: continue its thriving short-stay business with the full freehold, name, socials and listings included, or transform it into your own extraordinary residence or luxury weekender.
Step inside and experience a home that is both minimalist and deeply immersive. The handcrafted, dark-stained timber interior paired with polished concrete floors forms a warm and cocoon-like environment. The open plan layout features a sunken lounge with a wood fire, concealed split-system heating and cooling, and expansive double-glazed windows capturing beautiful northern light.
The bedroom offers a plush king bed framed by tactile textures, while the bathroom showcases a curved feature shower and direct connection to an outdoor bath for a serene, spa-like experience. Throughout, the home’s black finishes, radiata pine lining, spotted gum and charred blackbutt accents highlight the meticulous Japanese-inspired craftsmanship.
Flowing effortlessly outdoors, the property includes a private courtyard and a balcony, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the peaceful outlook.
Perfectly positioned, Shadows is only moments from Creswick’s local IGA, cafés, pubs, bakeries, pharmacy, shopping and the train station, while being just a short drive to both Ballarat and Daylesford.
This rare offering combines architectural prestige, a thriving boutique accommodation business, and an iconic design ready to be enjoyed or evolved. Moloney Architects remain available to collaborate with future owners, ensuring the home can be personalised to suit your lifestyle and vision.
“Shadows Creswick” — a romantic, restful, and architecturally unforgettable retreat in the Victorian Goldfields.
