63 Specimen Gully Road, Barkers Creek VIC 3451

Set on approx 4.2 acres in the heart of Victoria's historic goldfields, 63 Specimen Gully Road offers a rare combination of contemporary luxury and genuine country connection. Barkers Creek carries the character and heritage of the region's goldrush history, while remaining a warm, tightly held community - the Goldfields Track and the local cricket club sits at the bottom of the property making it the perfect home for those looking for an active lifestyle, or those who prefer the outlook.

Built in 2022 by renowned local builder Todd Newman, this custom brick residence has been thoughtfully crafted to deliver exceptional comfort, functionality and quality throughout. Boasting five spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home offers outstanding flexibility for growing families, those working from home, or buyers seeking additional guest accommodation. Step through the gallery hallway into the heart of the home to an impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, anchored by a stunning high-end kitchen featuring bespoke custom cabinetry handcrafted by Touchwood Cabinetry. Two separate living areas provide additional flexibility, while soaring 3-metre ceilings in the main living area and 2.7-metre ceilings throughout the remainder of the home create an impressive sense of space and light.

Designed for effortless year-round living, the home features fully ducted heating and cooling, complemented by the ambience of a Cheminées Philippe fireplace which throws heat throughout the home, and a David Truebridge light that adds a focal point to the heart of the home. Polished concrete floors provide a sleek, contemporary finish, while ample storage and instantaneous gas hot water ensure everyday practicality. The property also benefits from Starlink high-speed internet, already installed and connected to both the home and shed - a genuine advantage for remote work, streaming, or simply staying connected in a rural setting.

Outside, the expansive undercover entertaining area is the perfect setting to host family and friends while taking in the peaceful rural outlook. The land itself is a genuine point of difference - cleared and ready for animals, a rare pocket of usable land surrounded by beautiful bush. A double garage is complemented by an impressive 100m² shed completed late 2025, already fitted with power, wired internet and plumbing for a bathroom (STCA) - with approvals, it could be ready to convert into a self-contained studio, home business or guest retreat, on top of its everyday use as a workshop, gym or rec room.

For those who love the outdoors, the Goldfields Track runs right along your doorstep, offering direct access to some of the region's best walking and mountain biking trails straight from home.

Further enhancing the property's efficiency are a 6.64kW solar system with 16 panels, a 15,000-litre water tank servicing the shed, and two additional 7,000-litre tanks servicing the home, alongside the convenience of town water.

Positioned on a fully sealed road with easy access to the Calder Freeway, you're just 25 minutes (approx) to Bendigo and a short drive to Castlemaine, with V/Line services providing a straightforward commute to Melbourne's Southern Cross Station. Delivering premium family living with genuine community and heritage character, this is a rare opportunity to secure a quality home in one of Barkers Creek's most desirable pockets.
