Welcome to 580 Pyrenees Highway, Chewton—a stunning lifestyle property just ten minutes from Castlemaine. This 6 acre haven offers a perfect blend of tranquillity and modern living.
At first glance, you might think this is a classic heritage home. But look closer, and you'll find it blends period features with modern touches, creating a residence of timeless charm. An inspection is a must to truly appreciate its unique character.
Elevated, it boasts a wide, wrap around decked verandah. Inside, the double front doors lead to an open plan kitchen, dining and living area. Highlights include timber floorboards, a vaulted ceiling and a wood heater for cosy winter evenings. Ducted heating, a split system and ceiling fans ensure comfort year-round.
The stylish country kitchen is a standout with solid timber benchtops, a deep navy blue island bench with storage, a double Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and a ILVE oven with a gas cooktop.
The home’s fabulous layout includes two wings. To the left, find 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom. To the right, discover an adult’s retreat featuring a second living area with integrated cabinetry—ideal for showcasing your knick knacks and gin collection!
The master bedroom is blessed with a spacious walk-in robe and dressing room, leading to a refurbished ensuite with a stepless shower. The rear mudroom, laundry and third toilet have also been updated.
Step outside to the ‘Gin and Tonic Secret Garden,’ an enchanting space. With a magnificent magnolia, ornamental pears, Portuguese laurels, camellias, and vibrant cottage plantings, it’s an ideal spot for enjoying an apéritif. Sealed paths allow easy, barefoot access, and a private outdoor clawfoot bath with access to hot water adds yet more romance and luxury.
Experience the joy of spacious living with established gardens and room for children to explore. Fruit trees, vegetable gardens and beautiful stonework give the feeling of permanence and self-sufficiency. The property currently homes personality packed alpacas—Artie, Alphie, Chudley and Jock—that add character to this delightful setting. They’re even yours to keep, if you’re heart desires.
The property includes 4 well-fenced paddocks with lane-way access, perfect for equine or hobby farm pursuits. A Colourbond shed with timber barn-style doors caters to vehicle storage and tinkering, while smaller sheds provide additional gardening and storage space.
Additional features include a 5.5kW solar system for energy efficiency and a dam with water pumped to tanks for stock and gardens.
