The Paddock Townhouses

8+ Star efficiency double story townhouses with a total of 8 under construction on Reckleben Street, Castlemaine.

The Paddock Eco Village built by Langdon offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. Located just 1.4 kilometres from Castlemaine’s vibrant centre, this community features custom-designed, architecturally crafted homes nestled in a peaceful bushland setting. With home sizes ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms and sites between 84 to 120 square meters, each residence includes private front and back gardens, perfect for green living.

The homes at The Paddock are highly energy-efficient, achieving ratings of up to 8.7 stars. Paired with a 4.2kW solar system, these homes generate more energy than they consume, ensuring low running costs and a sustainable footprint.

A key feature of The Paddock Eco Village is the extensive shared spaces, including food gardens, orchards, and native gardens. Car parking is situated on the perimeter, enhancing the central, serene garden area for residents to enjoy.

Conveniently connected by walking tracks to the surrounding bush, the village also offers easy access to Castlemaine’s town centre, train station (with regular services to Melbourne and Bendigo), and local schools.

Langdon Building is helping the The Paddock Eco Village combine eco-friendly living with proximity to one of Victoria’s most dynamic regional hubs, making it the ideal choice for those looking to embrace sustainability.

The Paddock Eco Village has been developed according to the Living Building Challenge, a prestigious standard for sustainable housing developments. This project offers architectural diversity and a welcoming community lifestyle, while prioritising energy efficiency, hassle-free maintenance, and water self-sufficiency and built by Local Victorian Builder Langdon Building.

Architectural Diversity

Langdon Building is building homes arranged in a natural semi-circle, with a mix of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom options. This diverse design creates visual interest and encourages a sense of community.

Inclusive and Welcoming Lifestyle

Residents at The Paddock enjoy a flexible lifestyle, with the option to engage with the community as much or as little as they like. The variety of housing options ensures that people of all backgrounds, including families, singles, and the elderly, will feel welcome. Pets are also permitted, provided they are well-managed.

Hassle-Free Maintenance

The Paddock’s shared facilities and gardens are maintained collectively by residents, with occasional help from a gardener. Solar export income and revenue from the on-site B&B contribute to low Owners Corporation fees, keeping costs far below typical levels.

Architect-Designed Homes

Each home at The Paddock is architect-designed and build by Langdon Building’s project construction team – Langdon Living. These homes are customisable for homeowners’ needs, including accessibility features for disabled residents. The minimalist, contemporary design incorporates natural materials such as timber and recycled brick, blending seamlessly with the surrounding bushland.

Energy Efficiency

The Homes built by Langdon Building boast an average energy rating of 8.1 stars, far exceeding the 6-star average in Victoria. With careful design features like double glazing, insulation, and orientation for natural heating and cooling, residents enjoy lower energy costs and reduced carbon emissions.

Solar-Powered Living

Every home is equipped with over 4kW of solar panels, ensuring that Langdon Building produces more energy than it consumes. With electric heat pumps for hot water and space heating, and no gas connection, The Paddock is entirely powered by clean energy.

Fast Internet and Modern Connectivity

All homes are connected to the National Broadband Network (NBN), providing fast, reliable internet for working from home or enjoying entertainment.

Minimal Waste

Langdon Building is able to deliver and embrace sustainability in this project, with organic waste used for composting and poultry feed. Recycling facilities help reduce waste, and the eight homes in Stage 1 are currently producing only one waste bin and one recycling bin per week.

Water Self-Sufficiency

Rainwater is collected in six large tanks to meet most of the residents’ needs, ensuring greater water resilience and reducing costs.

Lower Energy Bills

With 16 solar panels on each home and no reliance on fossil fuels, residents at The Paddock enjoy protection from rising energy prices, resulting in significantly lower electricity bills.

 The Paddock Eco Village, built by Langdon Building offers a sustainable, comfortable, and inclusive lifestyle, making it an ideal choice for those seeking eco-friendly living close to Castlemaine.
