1/49 Fryers Street

Set on approx 2.97 acres on the edge of Guildford village, this property backs directly onto the Loddon River, a quietly spectacular backdrop of moving water, ancient river red gums and golden poplars that shifts with every season and every light. Power and water are available at the boundary, making this a genuinely ready canvas for those with a considered vision, whether a bespoke family home, a weekender with permanence, or a long-held patch of Central Victoria to come back to, again and again. Guildford itself is a stroll of around 280 metres away, a village of character, and the unhurried rhythms of a community that has resisted being hurried. Castlemaine is 12 minutes by car, offering the full complement of schools, farmers markets, independent shops, galleries and the Castlemaine State Festival. Daylesford is 20 minutes in the other direction, spa country, excellent restaurants, and a weekend economy that speaks for itself. This is the kind of land that rewards patience. Buy it, sit with it, let a design arrive that honours it. The river will still be there.
