Landmark Rebirth: Bromley Collection Museum Unveiled within the Old Castlemaine Gaol

A realm where an intriguing history intertwines with lucrative possibilities, this landmark estate of rarity and grandeur, within the refurbished Old Castlemaine Gaol, is a testament to Victoria's rich heritage and unparalleled future opportunities. Transformed by one of Australia's most renowned creative couples, David and Yuge Bromley from Bromley and Co. the 1.73 hectares of residentially zoned land has been transformed into a museum collection of art, sculpture and curiosity.
Established in 1861, this magnificent estate, crafted from locally sourced sandstone and granite, stands as a beacon of a bygone era, now reborn by the iconic duo to accommodate diverse pursuits. The site caters to a myriad of uses including an enchanting event space, cafe, luxurious hotel and a vibrant tourism attraction (STCA).
"Something that housed sadness, despair, depravity, a loss of freedom, transformed into a space that was instead imbued with a sense of romance, whimsy and a breath of light and life." - D. & Y. Bromley.
Conveniently located in the heart of Castlemaine, mere steps from the Castlemaine Railway Station, this iconic site offers seamless access to Melbourne, and just 90 minutes from the International Airport. Yet, it retains its serene charm, nestled within the Central Highlands—a hub of art and food culture, promising a genuinely eclectic experience for guests.
This unparalleled opportunity holds vast potential for expansion in a flourishing regional town, ideal for a luxury boutique hotel or a haven for hospitality and weddings, inviting the discerning investor to seize a chance for substantial growth and visionary innovation. Be part of the transformation—a journey from sadness to optimism—in a space where every corner resonates with light, life, and possibility.
