Overview

Set on the edge of the picturesque Chewton Village, this charming two-bedroom cottage combines original character features with the benefits of a generous land allotment of approximately 2,913sqm. The property's elevated position provides serene outlooks across open pastures and Crown Reserves, creating an idyllic country setting that encourages outdoor living and recreational pursuits.

The residence retains polished timber floors, decorative ceilings and fireplaces that enhance its quaint, inviting ambience. A comfortable lounge room offers a warm gathering space, while the north-facing kitchen and dining area fill the home with natural light. The kitchen is well-appointed with ample bench space and storage, and the adjoining dining room is enhanced by a distinctive corner fireplace and box bay window, adding a unique character and homely warmth.

Functionality is further supported by a central bathroom, separate laundry, and a sheltered vestibule that offers a quiet spot to enjoy morning sunshine and leafy views. The presence of carport and separate garden sheds add practical storage and vehicle accommodation options.

This property is well-suited to purchasers seeking a tranquil country lifestyle with room to grow, renovate, or explore future development opportunities, given its township zoning, mains water, power, and sewer connections. Potential for additions or even the placement of a tiny home is possible, subject to council approval.

Beyond the home, the extensive grounds provide ample space for gardening, outdoor relaxation, or other creative uses, making it appealing for those desiring an outdoor-focused lifestyle near nature and village amenities. Convenient access to Castlemaine's shops, cafés, schools, and community services adds important practicality to this peaceful location.
