Last Listing description (March 2024)

Imagine being able to create Monet-styled water gardens. The possibilities are endless for this outstanding block with two lakes and multiple ponds. With the existing 2 bedroom, two bathroom accommodation overlooking the top lake, you can choose whether to live-in the existing class 1A dwelling, and make it your home, or whether to build your dream home at the other end of the block and rent out the existing buildings. Either way, you get to live in a home with magnificent views overlooking the lakes and ponds and having the perfect viewing platform from which to observe the antics of the prolific bird-life on the water.

The existing house consists of two separate sections, (the north wing and south wing), which both have open-plan living areas and their own bathrooms. A double car-port connects the two sections. Both sections have double glazing, insulation and reverse-cycle air-conditioning, and NBN. The views from the house are outstanding and unique, with views across the top lake which is home to many different species of birds, including swans who often come to nest here.
If preferred, there is the possibility (subject to Shire permission) of also building at the other end of the block, overlooking the waterfall and ponds. (Electricity and water is already in place should the new owner wish to build a new structure and retain and have the existing buildings reclassified as detached ancillary dwelling/granny-flat.)

Regardless of whether the new owners just wish to enjoy the lake views from the existing home, or wish to create their dream home overlooking the lower ponds and waterfall, this unique rural haven is a wonderful place to call home. It would also be the perfect place to create magnificent gardens around the ponds and lakes. Move over, Monet!! ...All the hard work has already been done... just add more trees and plants, and a bridge (or two!) If you don't wish to build a house, imagine a gazebo on that site overlooking the lower lake, ponds and waterfall.
With potential for permaculture, aquaculture, sustainable living, agriculture or water-scaped gardens, or for simply enjoying as a wild-life habitat, this property offers a lifestyle change that many people are searching for.
The 10.8 acre (4.38ha) block has numerous springs, two lakes and four ponds, giving a collective total of almost 3 acres of water with an all-year-round water supply and ongoing over-flow downstream. The spring water cascades over a small waterfall into the lower pond.
Located only a few kilometres from Balingup, the lakes, ponds and waterfall create a wonderful secluded haven and breeding habitat for the many water birds (including swans), frogs, marron and other wildlife.
There is an additional power supply to the other end of the property should you wish to look at the options of building either a house or gazebo at the other end of the block.
There is also a drinking water well, 60 kl water storage tank, 2 pumps and UV water sterilizer. A third pump supplies the reticulation system covering both ends of the property.
The 2 large dams (shire and engineered approved) were landscaped to look like lakes, and the property also has four ponds (ideal for raising young marron.) The lower pond has been landscaped with an all-year-round waterfall and two weeping willows have been planted alongside the pond for shade and shelter?a perfect ?Wind in the Willows? setting for future generations to enjoy a picnic by the water?s edge.
