Enjoy the spectacular sunsets and magnificent sunrises at "butterworth" high on a hill. With the convenience of being in town and the ambience of a semi-bush setting. It is recently constructed and has a 6 star energy rating. Help yourself to veggies from the garden and eggs from the nearby chook shed. You will awake to birdsong each morning and appreciate the quiet at night sitting on your very private veranda equipped with BBQ and outdoor furniture. Cool off in summer months by enjoying a swim in our shared 15m salt water lap pool. In the winter months light the fire and enjoy the ambience. With a short walk to the centre of Castlemaine you will be able to visit galleries, cafes and experience unique shopping opportunities at The Restorers Barn and Drummond Cottage and of course other boutique shops. Bring the kids and visit the Castlemaine Botanic Gardens with newly constructed children's playground, a must for young children. There's also a skate park/BMX track! Eat in one of the many restaurants and cafes. Castlemaine is approximately one hour and twenty minutes from Melbourne.

I love the country life in Castlemaine. I enjoy socialising with friends and family, having discussions about politics and social issues. I also love sport, camping and overseas travel.

Castlemaine is a former gold mining town, approximately 35 Kms from Bendigo. It is renowned as a vibrant artist community and boasts over 35 cafes where a good cup of coffee can be sourced. It has a variety of great pubs and restaurants as well as a rich gold history.
