Goldfields Glory – Historic 1860s cottage with soul, scope and sweeping views

Perched high above Castlemaine’s famed Anticlinal Fold, this 1860s historic cottage is a true relic of the gold rush era-crafted in stone, brick and timber and steeped in local character. If these walls could talk, they’d tell stories of miners, makers, and generations of country life unfolding just moments from the town centre.

Set on a generous 715sqm (approx.) with a prized north-facing rear aspect, the property holds exciting potential for restoration or extension.

The cottage, originally a four-room miner’s dwelling, has grown over time through a series of sympathetic additions. Today, it comprises two generous bedrooms, a central sitting room with an open fireplace, a dining space, and an updated kitchen with gas cooking.

Externally, a covered rear verandah leads to a modernised bathroom with spa bath, a second toilet, the original laundry and storerooms. Mature plantings and terraced garden spaces surround the home, creating pockets of privacy and spaces to take in the outstanding outlook.

Ready to enjoy as is-or perfect as a long-term project-this special home sits within walking distance of shops, train, schools and the wildflower bushland of Kalimna Park.

A rare offering with soul, history, and stunning potential.
