Unique home and land package

Conveniently located between Chewton and Castlemaine, on the edge of the Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage area, this location has a lot to offer. Step out of your living space into a garden that blends into a vast wilderness. Step out your front door and the Wesley Hill Market, sports facilities, and the Red Hill Hotel are a pleasant walk away.

An architecturally designed semi-detached home with a focus on passive solar design and energy efficiency. Resulting in a beautiful energy-efficient home built with the attention to detail for which House Workshop is renowned.

Finished with a palate of high-quality materials that will be selected with you based upon preference and budget. There are a few cladding options and the home showcases high-quality aluminium or timber doors and windows. A timber deck can be sized to suit your brief and budget and will be made from sustainably sourced Australian hardwood-complimented by a rusting steel pergola and awnings.

A large entry courtyard can be landscaped with the use of screening and vegetation to create privacy for the home and includes a generous single-car carport and lockable storage options.
The home offers a great connection to the Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage area with large north-facing pergola and deck.


The home

Once inside, remove shoes and jacket at the entry nook, and enter the open plan living space. Ceilings sloping toward large expanses of glass give the space a spacious feel, flood the room with light and captures the stunning views.

The kitchen and dining area is the hub of the home, where friends and family gather. Hang out on the deck or cook a meal whilst others join you at the kitchen island. The kitchen features quality integrated Bosch appliances and a timber or reconstituted stone benchtop.

The lounge space, separated from the living space by a feature brick wall with hardwood shelving, is ideal for unwinding away from the activity of the kitchen space whilst still offering connection.

The space can also feature an optional window seat where a hot drink can be savored on a cold morning whilst bathing in the winter sun. Beneath the window seat, there is plenty of storage space, and a wood heater sits on an adjacent concrete bench (optional) with space for firewood below.

The burnished concrete slab and feature brick wall provide thermal mass to regulate the home's temperature throughout the year.

The spacious 'wet room' bathroom features a generous shower and freestanding bath. A burnished concrete slab throughout ties the finish of the bathroom to the rest of the house. A washing machine is cleverly concealed within a custom vanity unit. 


What's next?

The friendly team at House Workshop will guide you through the entire process, from your initial enquiry through to completion. In collaboration with our team, your home can be customised to suit your needs, style, and budget. Joinery will be designed with you and custom-made by our local team of craftspersons. The artist impressions provide an indication of possibilities and are not reflecting the home offered for the listed price. An energy rating of up to 8 stars can be achieved, depending on material choices.

Firstly, the land is purchased from the vendor. The cost of the land is $169k. Then, in the weeks that follow, the plans and specifications are finetuned with House Workshop and a contract for construction is signed. You may be eligible for the $25k Home Builders grant if a contract can be signed before the end of the year.

Once the contract for construction is signed permits are obtained and construction commences. Your new home may be ready as soon as September of 2021 (depending on the purchase, and construction commencement date).
