The open plan kitchen, dining and family room leads out to the front deck with outstanding views to the Cape Naturalist Lighthouse and Busselton hinterland below. The Blue Gum plantation on the nearby farm currently blocks that view, but is nearing maturity for harvesting in the very near future. This spacious, triple-aspect, living-hub of the home is flooded with natural light, has wood-fired burner and a separate/main entrance leading in from the triple car port. The undercover, outdoor entertaining area includes a double storage cupboard and built-in pizza oven. Opposite the kitchen lies a separate theatre room for easy mid-movie snacking. Bi-fold doors to the annex leads off from the living area!

The homestead has a separate entry onto the back veranda from an area adjacent to the kitchen and currently used as a scullery, housing two upright fridge/freezers and with multiple fitted cupboards and shelves. The back veranda is paved and decked, looking out across a fully enclosed garden with reticulated lawn and borders containing Pomegranate, Pineapple Guava and some native trees. A long hallway has the study/single bed 5 at one end; the dual aspect, king-size master with walk in robe, ensuite and separate WC at the other, with two queen size bedrooms with built in robes, a family bathroom, a separate WC, and linen cupboard in between.
Beyond the homestead is a small orchard of various fruit trees including; Lemon, Mulberry, Olive and Loquat.

The main rainwater tank feeds the home for water.
The little old wooden Whicher Art studio remains at the front of the farm and would make a great renovation project for a teenage retreat, small rustic chalet or return to an art studio for those looking at home handyman or renovation delight.

Heading away from the homestead through parts of the bush fed by a hidden gravel trail is a bush shack, registered as a shed only, but equipped with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, outside laundry, wood burner and separate workshop with under cover, paved verandah, and carport. The double garage lies nearby. It is the perfect bush hideaway equipped with its own stand-alone, powered pump rainwater, electric hot water system. Quite suitable for weekend accommodation, parties or to convert back to a shed. Approvals for shed are only standard not residential.

A considerable bushfire management plan has been conducted on the property and takes into account the pristine nature of the natural vegetation and settings that would contribute to a planning application if applying to run a small business from the homestead and 1 hectare of land unaffected by the conservation caveat.

Jarrah, Red Gun, Grass Tree, Sheoak Christmas tree and a pristine bush land understory make up the majority of the farm. Walking, biking and driving trails meander through the lower parts of the property and up through the ironstone outcrop ridges.

Located on the quiet country bitumen back road just off Chapman Hill Road, and just near the newly opened Hippo Lake Cafe, and the Whicher Range Cellar Door, this property offers ideal seclusion and privacy for those looking to escape the rat race and busy city lifestyles.

Zoned rural, this property only has a very small area which can be developed such as the studio and surrounds (1 ha), The rest of the land is covered by registered land for wildlife covenants and is a protected habitat and nature conservation site protecting the bush and farm property.
