Unlock the infinite potential of extraordinary Castle Hill’. Occupying 151 acres of prized bush land in a picturesque rustic setting, this truly unique, landmark property was built in 1958 as a labour of love by its eccentric German builder. The owner dedicated his life to building the eclectic property and surrounding grounds, which are now being offered for sale by his family.

Encircled by a magnificent, fortified wall decorated with thousands of empty bottles, the huge house features a European style with exposed concrete, timber beams and breathtaking views across the leafy bush land, rolling hills and city beyond. The distinctive house was profiled on Channel 7 and has remained a tourist attraction for the area.

Inspired by German architecture, the house is anything but traditional as it spreads across four levels. Let your imagination run wild with the many flexible bedrooms and up to eight living and sitting rooms all in various conditions. Some open onto balconies evoking provincial scenes of country Europe, while there’s also two spiral staircases and cellar level ideal for a wine collection.

The house is structurally sound, although work is needed on parts of the upper levels. There is central heating and a slow combustion heater for cooking in the kitchen, while the property has its own tank water supply. The owners have used the land for small farming previously, and there’s a gravel quarry on site too.

Idyllically located an easy 20-minute drive to the major townships of the Macedon Ranges, the property is also close to the airport and other tourist attractions such as Hanging Rock and the many wineries that have made the region popular.

With endless opportunities for development, STCA, buyers will appreciate the uniqueness of this one-of-a-kind property and the chance to bring back to life its peaceful, rural environs.
