No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
VICPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $488/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
Verdict
Districts view
Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.
Detail
The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”
Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.
The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.
Evidence
Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

Listing material
Listed by Cantwell Property CastlemainePrivately set behind an unassuming façade, this beautifully presented mid‑1960s home reveals itself as a thoughtfully transformed residence, where a considered contemporary rear addition enhances both liveability and connection to its exceptional garden setting. Light‑filled and quietly sustainable, it is a home where character and comfort align with surprising ease.
The original home retains its mid‑century integrity through period steel windows, solid wood heaters and a striking Castlemaine slate chimney surround, grounding the home in warmth and authenticity. In contrast, the modern extension unfolds seamlessly to the rear, opening to landscaped gardens and outdoor living spaces. Here, a generous north‑facing open‑plan living, kitchen and dining zone is framed by leafy outlooks and sliding doors to a substantial deck. A high raked ceiling, oversized ceiling fan and solid wood heater create a sense of volume and comfort, complemented by split‑system heating and cooling, evaporative ducted cooling and external blinds for year‑round climate control.
The kitchen is superbly appointed with Miele appliances, including a gas cooktop, undermount oven and dishwasher, paired with timber and stone benchtops and a central island bench designed for casual dining and connection. The adjoining dining space opens to a private courtyard deck, softened by a lush fernery that provides privacy and year‑round greenery, and features an outdoor shower, an ideal retreat in the warmer months.
Accommodation is flexible and thoughtfully arranged. A front‑facing room functions equally well as a living space or bedroom, featuring built‑in storage and a solid wood heater inset into a Castlemaine slate surround. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, one with built‑in robes, while the remaining spaces adapt easily as guest rooms, children's rooms or home offices. The contemporary bathroom is quietly luxurious, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-in shower, a back-to-wall bath, a vanity, and a toilet. A second separate toilet and European‑style laundry add everyday practicality, while under‑house storage further enhances functionality.
Outdoors, the property truly distinguishes itself. The fully fenced and beautifully established rear garden is private, generous, and richly layered, featuring mature trees, fruit trees, raised vegetable gardens, a greenhouse, a garden shed, and a substantial second shed/workshop ideal for creative projects, storage, or a home enterprise. Meandering pathways and a series of quiet sitting areas are framed by elegant stone walling, creating a garden designed to be lived in and loved through every season.
Sustainability and efficiency are integral to the home's design. The newer section features double glazing, the home is highly insulated with underfloor, wall and ceiling insulation, and an integrated solar system supports lower energy costs and year‑round comfort.
Positioned within easy walking distance to Castlemaine Train Station for direct access to Melbourne or Bendigo, as well as the Mill precinct, Botanic Gardens, schools and central Castlemaine's cafes and retail, this is a home that balances privacy with connection.
A residence that reveals itself gently, rewards deeply, and invites you to stay.
