Restore your balance in this secluded place of peaceful calm and natural beauty. With no visible neighbours and 43 acres of fauna-filled bush land (plus six paddocks) to explore, you ll feel like the only family in the world.
Located on a flat site at the top of a steep rise, this beautiful home has a palatial, open plan kitchen, dining and family room at its core. Lofty cathedral ceilings, expansive glazing and a soaring roof over the massive alfresco entertaining patio are all designed to take in the glorious light and breathtaking views down the valley.
You won t miss out on any views from the massive kitchen window. The family kitchen has a Smeg 900mm electric oven and gas cooktop, stainless steel dishwasher, large fridge alcove, walk-in pantry, breakfast bar, cream cabinetry and laminate tops.
The lounge and dining area is incredibly spacious and refined. Beautiful, wide polished Jarrah floorboards in all the living areas and superior New Zealand wool carpets in the bedrooms set the tone for the high level of finish in this home. Well-insulated and correct orientation gives this home great thermal performance. Attractive render and feature face brick detail on the outside with timber lined eaves and an iron roof makes it look good too. A split system air-conditioner in the main living area takes the edge off the peak summer heat.
Head left from the graceful formal entryway towards the parents wing through glazed timber doors into the elegant formal lounge with lovely curtains and soft wool carpets underfoot. Beyond the lounge is the luxurious master suite, which is supremely comfortable and full of light thanks to the large windows at either end. There is a bank of crisp white, built-in robes up one end with space for a large study and a private timber entry from the verandah. The lovely ensuite has a large shower, vanity and corner spa with a separate toilet.
On the other side of the main living area is the practical kids wing where you ll find three huge bedrooms that open onto a central games room, plus a bathroom and laundry. All the bedrooms have quality window treatments and two have built-in robes. The games room has polished Jarrah floorboards flowing through from the main living areas, built-in storage and large windows looking out over the verandah and back lawn. The kids bathroom has a vanity, bath and shower, and the practical, spacious laundry houses a separate toilet.
Separated from the house is a rustic, quirky granny flat. Originally a Nissen Hut it has been extended with a conventional weatherboard section on the side and a deck out the front. With three bedrooms, a bathroom, a generous living area and kitchen, this is no pokey little hut. It has a small pot belly in the kitchen, a wall-mounted air-conditioning unit and a rainwater tank attached. Used as it is, it makes a cool Man Cave (as the sign out the front proclaims), a great guest suite or teen retreat.
There are six fenced paddocks connected with a stock run at the front of the property, a large, enclosed, powered shed/workshop and two open machinery sheds attached. Three rainwater tanks provide generous water storage and are connected underground with a pump equalizer ensuring practical operation.
From the alfresco patio at the back, tall eucalypts, grasstrees, and boulders give way to a beautiful bush land hillside leading to a small winter dam and creek line at the bottom. The property is registered with Land For Wildlife, an indication of the rich and diverse array of flora and fauna to be found. Plus there is a chook pen, garden shed and veggie patch on the east side of the house.
This is the perfect place to press pause on all the pressure and stress that life can sometimes throw at you. Come home to this secluded, tranquil, nature lovers paradise and feel the busy world melt away into complete freedom.
