Question 1

Is Goldie a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Goldie is a small rural locality on the outskirts of Daylesford with rolling pasture, patches of native bush and a quietly agricultural character. Housing is a mix of working farms, lifestyle blocks and renovated weatherboard cottages on generous lots, linked by quiet local roads and tree-lined lanes. Many residents use Daylesford and Hepburn Springs for shops, cafes and services, while enjoying local access to mineral springs, bushwalking and the nearby town’s cultural and hospitality attractions. The area attracts long-term rural families, tree-changers and retirees who prefer a slower pace.

It is a very small community of 253 people with a median age of 44 and a median total household income of $2,343 a week, roughly $121,836 a year. Families are overwhelmingly couple-based, and homes are predominantly owner-occupied with 44.7% owned outright and 47.4% owned with a mortgage, while renters make up 7.9% of dwellings. There are no significant new public infrastructure or civic-amenity projects reported, and the locality lies about 9 km from the Lancefield township, the nearest centre for schools and services. Whether Goldie suits you comes down to the pace of life and the rural setting you prefer.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Goldie?

Accepted Answer

Goldie had a median total household income of $2,343 a week at the last Census. However, there haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in the suburb to publish reliable median house or unit prices or average rents, so it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Goldie compared with local incomes.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Goldie a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Goldie hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how house or unit prices and rents have moved over the past year. Without that, there isn't a clear picture of how it has performed as an investment lately.
