58 McMillans Road, Green Gully VIC 3462

This deceptively spacious western red cedar and mud-brick brick home provides many options for a primary residence or weekend hideaway.

The property is just minutes from the thriving town of Newstead and offers a serene and peaceful lifestyle with quick access to Castlemaine for an easy commute via an express train for work or pleasure in Melbourne or Bendigo.

Its high efficiency nature meant the vendor paid only $175 in total household running costs in 2016 and there are multiple options for a 4th bedroom, studio or parents/teenagers retreat.

The north facing home is surrounded by wide verandahs, giving plenty of vantage points to sit and enjoy the views and the abundant wildlife. Two sets of double glass doors in the main living area bring the outside in and establish a connection to the beautiful native bush that surrounds the home. The cathedral ceilings and large windows maximise the light and space within the home.
The house has been freshly painted throughout and had the floors sanded and sealed in 2017, as well as having extensive kitchen and bathroom re-modelling with new tapware, benchtops, vanity, kitchen sink, shower, bath, stove and range.

There are three generous bedrooms, (2 with BIR, master with huge WIR) and there is a separate toilet. The kitchen and dining area is spacious, with a country wood cooker, plus gas cook-top, big pantry, lots of bench space and room for a large kitchen table.

A 3kw solar system produces approx 4,000 kWh of free electricity pa, there is instantaneous gas hot water and 70,000L of water storage. A double garage with a huge workshop/studio/man cave with a pot belly stove, underground power and concrete floor is close to the house and the dam is to the rear of the block. A large wood heater keeps the home cosy in winter and there are ceiling fans and a split system for the warmer months.
