43 Castlemaine-Maldon Road, McKenzie Hill

Offered for the first time in decades, Gold Glen is a classic red-brick farmhouse that embodies the charm and practicality of true country living. Set on a rare landholding in the Rural Living zone, its scale, position and versatility create an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a lifestyle haven, a future subdivision prospect (STCA), or a combination of both. The original homestead includes three comfortable bedrooms, a welcoming lounge, kitchen, mudroom and laundry, all framed by traditional verandahs that capture the rural outlook. The home sits within established gardens and is approached via a tree-lined driveway that sets a calm and inviting tone. Extensive infrastructure supports a wide range of uses, making the property immediately functional for hobby farming, trades, horses or storage. Improvements include a substantial 17m x 9m brick garage with WC, a 12.5m x 7m shearing shed also ideal for horse floats or machinery, and a modern 13.5m x 8m workshop complete with bathroom. Just a five-minute drive from the centre of Castlemaine, the property offers quick access to cafés, supermarkets, rail connections, medical services and vibrant community life. It delivers the convenience of town living while maintaining a peaceful rural setting. With scope to consider redevelopment into 5- or 10-acre lots (STCA), this property offers uncommon flexibility in a tightly held rural pocket. Moments from the Golf Course, Steiner School and the welcoming villages of Maldon and Newstead, Gold Glen delivers a compelling combination of country character, amenity and long-term potential.
