257 Blakeley Road, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

Set back from the road on 4.75 acres (approx.) adjacent to peaceful bushland, this sturdy full brick cavity three-bedroom home offers space, privacy and flexibility just seven minutes from Castlemaine. A verandah wraps the front of the house, and established gardens give way to the surrounding bush beyond.

At the heart of the home, the spacious living room opens on two sides. French doors to the north lead onto a tranquil terrace under a vine-clad pergola, overlooking the bush beyond. French doors to the south bring light through the room throughout the day. A high, timber-clad cove ceiling gives the space real character, along with a gas heater and a split system. The open-plan kitchen and dining area face north and are fitted with a gas cooktop, a fan-forced electric wall oven, an Asko dishwasher and a step-in pantry.

The main bedroom sits off the living room, with its own external French doors access, a generous robe and ensuite. Two further bedrooms open from a gallery space with French doors to the north terrace. One bedroom has a split system, and both open to the south through French doors. A family bathroom has a shower and vanity, with a separate toilet.

Beyond the main house, a 60sqm independent studio adds flexibility. Whether used for multi-generational living, a guest retreat, a work-from-home consulting space, or as an income-earning stay, the studio stands on its own, with its own carport and courtyard. North-facing windows frame the bush from the living area, and the studio also includes a bedroom, an office, a kitchenette, a bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet, and a split system.

The grounds match the scale of the setting. A garage/workshop and two carports provide parking for three vehicles, plus covered shade structures, a dam, three large water tanks, and an integrated solar system.

This property offers privacy, bushland and room to move, all within easy reach of Castlemaine.
