This two-bedroom, two-storey, corner townhouse with an 8-star plus energy-efficiency rating has an ethos of sustainability, community, and self-sufficiency.
Welcome to The Paddock, a unique community-orientated project where the buildings, designed for the future, embody the highest standards in environmental design. The Paddock offers the opportunity to practice a sustainable lifestyle in a like-minded community.
Enjoy the privacy of your home with the option of joining in shared social and communal activities and making the most of your shared ownership of the community house and 1.5 hectares of grounds and gardens. The Paddock is within walking distance or a short drive to the centre of Castlemaine, the train station and the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens.
The townhouse features natural timber cladding, and the widespread use of recycled building materials is integral to the passive solar design, including double brick dividing walls, double glazing, split system heating and cooling, ceiling fans throughout, a hot water heat pump, and a 4Kw solar system.
