545 Muckleford-Yapeen Road, Yapeen VIC 3451

Midway between Castlemaine and the small hamlet of Guildford, Yapeen boasts an historic goldrush past. Although gold was not found on this particular site, the property presents a golden opportunity for those wanting to settle in this historic area.

Boasting a natural bushland setting, the property covers an area of approximately 15 acres with sealed road access and meandering driveway making for the perfect country entrance.

At the top of the drive the views are spectacular. Perched and set to capture those views are the main house and self-contained cottage. Independent, they each have their own services - septic, rainwater storage and car parking. A perfect pairing for the extended family, dual occupancy or a small business or holiday stay.

Comfortable with sleeping accommodation of three bedrooms, the main home enjoys a cosy lounge, galley style kitchen, family bathroom and large laundry. Additional living is provided by a large sunroom that extends across the rear, with its own pot belly stove and bar, making it a great space to host friends. Or when the weather is warmer spend time on the front deck and enjoy the views.

Generous in size, the cottage is bright and light filled with open plan living and meals, functional kitchen, large bathroom and separate laundry. Dedicated parking with a semi enclosed carport provides privacy from the main house.

In addition, there is a 9m x 4m shed with power connected, a two-car carport and caravan port. The large dam, approximately 25 feet at its deepest point, enjoys water all year round with good catchment.

This rare offering of two dwellings combines the peace of a bush setting with the convenience of being just a short drive from Castlemaine's amenities and central to all the Goldfield region’s attractions.
