There is a particular kind of light in this part of Castlemaine, soft, filtered through box and ironbark, the kind that seems to slow the day down. At this exceptional property, set on approximately 2.85 acres and locally known as The Yellow House, light falls over a home designed by architect Michael Rigg, a residence shaped by French Provincial grace and grounded in the landscape of central Victoria. Set back high on the hill in one of Castlemaine's most prominent streets, the home enjoys a quiet privacy, screened by garden and bushland, yet only 800m (approximately) from the centre of town. A long, sweeping asphalt driveway winds up through the grounds, building a sense of arrival before the house comes into view. It is this elevation, and the views it commands, that gives the property its particular magic, a sense of being entirely apart, while never being far away. The rendered and bagged exterior walls were chosen to weather and fade the way old buildings do in parts of France. T
