Inglewood is a Loddon Shire heritage gold-rush village — about 195 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. Documented underground gold-mine workings, EAO arsenic disclosures, and small heritage-village market.

Inglewood at a glance

  • Council: Loddon Shire (own planning scheme).

  • Buyer profile: tree-changers, retirees, smaller-budget heritage buyers.
  • Dwelling mix: miners' cottages, Federation cottages, post-war detached.

The dominant risk: gold-mining legacy + EAO arsenic + Heritage Overlay
