60 Bowden Street

A home to take your breath away. Floating within the treetops anchored by ancient turpentine tree pylons, reclaimed from the submarine wharf of Sydney Harbour, this home is truly breathtaking. Built over three levels, with a flexible floor plan on a generous allotment of 1535sqm, this unique property is within walking distance to the centre of Castlemaine, the railway station and the Mill complex. Enter the property via a suspended walkway that passes a fully lined studio and workshop. At each of the three levels, the living spaces open onto spacious timber decks, each with spectacular views, all at treetop level and taking in the historic township of Castlemaine. The existing floor plan in the main house is 178sqm approximately and offers two self-contained living spaces, each with a kitchen, living, bathroom and bedroom with built-in robes and storage. Timber staircases provide access to each of the three levels providing an opportunity to create a single living environment. The exterior weatherboards are radially sawn yellow stringybark, creatively using every small piece to finish the interior. Improvements include gas heating, gas cooking, a huge water tank for garden use, established eucalypts, a combination of both native and vegetable gardens and a paved fire pit. All town services are available including the NBN. There is no other house like it.
