60 Lyndham Road, Muckleford VIC 3451

Welcome to Lake Betty, a tranquil bush retreat of approximately 11.5 acres offering wildlife at your doorstep, privacy, space to explore, play and live a life in harmony with nature, with the convenience of a 9-minute drive into Castlemaine for retail, amenities, schools and sporting facilities.

Dual access from Lyndham Road allows a sweeping driveway to the elevated three-bedroom home overlooking the surrounding bushland. A wrap-around verandah is the perfect place to sit, relax, and look out onto the property. Sliding doors open to the combined living and dining space featuring a solid wood heater and a split system adjoining the dining is the period kitchen with a freestanding electric cooktop with an oven and storage. A central hall leads to the three bedrooms, two with built-in robes, a bathroom with a shower, toilet, vanity and a laundry with external access.

The rolling bushland has wildlife galore, with echidnas, kookaburras, native turtles and yabbies. The property has three dams, one small and the other two, which are generous enough for a small row boat, and a small paddock provides space for a horse or a spot to kick the footy or soccer ball. An old orchard of cherry, apple and pear trees sits next to a creek that borders the property. If shedding and storage are required, the property has a combined 112 sqm of it! A 6.2m x 9m garage, 2.9m x 3.3m studio, 7.6m x 3.4m carport, 3.5m x 6.1m shed and a 3.6m x 3.5m storage/ studio space. Dotted around the property is a chook pen and a horse shed. This property is on tank water.

A private haven of bushland, yet convienately close to Castlemaine, a bus stop for schools in Castlemaine is within walking distance, or the Steiner School is just a short drive away, making it the perfect escape to bring up a family or weekend retreat.
