Clontarf – Castlemaine

A sublime fusion of old exotic trees c.1862 provide lush surroundings for a Castlemaine historic house and gardens


Established c. 1862 is the original house, double-storey stables and outhouse cottage on 1.2 hectares.  

The garden consists of exotic trees, old gums, new plants including perennials, fruit trees, and a walled vegetable and herb garden with large tanks to collect water and a worm farm.

The borrowed landscape adds significantly to the property including a sandstone walled paddock, once called The Pleasure Garden opposite the Botanical Gardens and next door to beautiful Forest Hall.
