Tucked within the award-winning Paddock eco-village, this thoughtfully designed three-bedroom townhouse offers a rare combination of sustainable living, modern comfort and genuine community connection — all just moments from the centre of Castlemaine.

Designed around passive solar principles and built to an impressive energy-efficiency standard, the home is warm, light-filled and remarkably comfortable throughout the seasons. Double glazing, excellent insulation, solar power, and energy-efficient systems work together quietly in the background, creating a home that is both environmentally responsible and economical to run.

The ground floor centres around an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that connects seamlessly to a generous north-facing courtyard garden. Recycled timber details bring warmth and texture to the contemporary interior, while large windows draw in natural light and frame views of the surrounding gardens. The kitchen includes induction cooking, quality appliances, and a central island bench designed for both everyday living and relaxed entertaining.

Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, two with beautiful northern light and and one overlooks the leafy communal landscape. Built-in robes, ceiling fans and carefully considered storage make the spaces practical as well as inviting. A central bathroom with toilet complete the upper level.

Outside, the private courtyard offers space for outdoor dining, gardening or simply enjoying the quiet atmosphere of The Paddock. Beyond the home itself lies an established community environment with shared productive gardens, fruit trees, walking paths, gathering spaces, workshop facilities and a welcoming community hub with guest accommodation.

The Paddock has been carefully created to encourage a lighter, more connected way of living while still respecting privacy and independence. Residents enjoy shared infrastructure including embedded solar, water harvesting systems, veggie gardens, bike storage and communal open space — all contributing to a low-impact lifestyle with a strong sense of place.

Located within easy walking or cycling distance of Castlemaine’s cafés, train station, schools and Botanical Gardens, this is a unique opportunity to enjoy sustainable living in one of regional Victoria’s most admired intentional communities.

A home that offers not just comfort and efficiency, but a thoughtful way of living.
