Relax in rural retreat
Relax at this unique and tranquil getaway. Wake up to the sounds of birds and utilise the open plan kitchen/dining lounge for restful afternoons and evenings. Enjoy various outdoor seating areas or warm up by the indoor fireplace. Within 15 minutes of Castlemaine where there is always events on, great food for dining and bespoke shopping to be had. Local swimming and mineral water collection spot is within 10 minutes for a dip in nature to cool down on hot days.
Light filled open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area. There are two comfortably sized bedrooms which receive morning sun. Configuration options include either a king bed in bedroom 1 and double bed in bedroom 2 or two single beds in bedroom 1 and double bed in bedroom 2. Advance notice needed to configure to king. A double fold out bed is also available in the lounge area. The property is set on 3/4 of an acre and has a very spacious feel with native gardens, veggie gardens and fruit trees
