2A Reckleben Street, Castlemaine, Vic 3450

A clean slate, and a short walk from town.

This 357sqm (approx.) allotment is cleared, fenced and ready. All services are connected. That means less waiting and more time spent on the part that matters, which is designing the home you want to live in.

The size suits a considered build. Think a low-maintenance home with a courtyard, a smart footprint with room for a garden, or a compact design that makes the most of every metre. Work with your builder or architect to position living spaces for light, privacy and outlook. Design with care and the upper level could catch glimpses of the township beyond (STCA).

Then there is the location. The train station is an easy walk. So are the Mill Market, the Botanic Gardens and the cafes, shops and restaurants of central Castlemaine. Morning coffee, weekend markets and a stroll around Lake Johanna can all be part of the routine, without needing the car.

For first home builders, downsizers and investors, this is a practical way into one of Victoria's best-loved country towns. Plan your build (STCA) and make it your own.
