About this property
Red Brick Barn - located at Castlemaine
Set within a private 3 acre property in a picturesque pocket of Chewton, it overlooks Forest Creek and surrounding Goldfields heritage bushland. A walking track is at the door for a 15 minute walk to the wonderful Bold Cafe and Nursery and the Wesley Hill Saturday Market , or continue on to explore nearby Historic Castlemaine with it's wonderful Architecture and vibrant café and arts culture.
Red Brick Barn is an eclectic mix of European and Early Australian antiques, including French Industrial Furniture and Lighting, Turkish Kilims from Anatolia and rare "Depression" pieces from regional Australia.
For inner Melbourne accommodation see our Red Gate Terrace in Fitzroy
With a European sensibility
