No need to temper your expectations with this magnificent property, which is all class from the moment you turn into the winding driveway that takes you past shady paddocks to the attractive modern home.
The hub of this spacious home is its massive open plan kitchen, living and dining area. The sleek galley kitchen provides plenty of bench space along with an electric oven, gas cooktop, built-in pantry and stainless steel dishwasher. Spill out naturally onto an expansive alfresco entertaining patio that flows onto the lawn beside the pool. It s a superb, gently elevated vista that can be fully appreciated through doors and mesh screens that slide wide open. Party lights and cool deck on the patio wrap around to the BBQ nook on the side creating a relaxing and comfortable entertaining space.
Fear not summer s heat! A fabulous solar heated, below ground salt pool will keep you cool outside while Fujitsu ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning ensures creature comfort inside and a 3.25kW PV system will keep those power bills in check too.
Step through double doors and down into a theatre den fitted with plush carpet, recessed ceiling and downlights for maximum movie-watching magic for the whole family. The private master suite and generous office (or fifth bedroom) lie towards the front of the home by the gracious formal entry and double garage. The former features an attractive open ensuite and walk-in robe while the office has built-in storage. The junior bedrooms all have built-in or walk-in robes and share a family bathroom whose clever vestibule configuration neatly ends all bathroom arguments.
Established as a pony stud, the equestrian facilities are excellent and feature a pristine drive-through, barn-style stable complex, which has four large stables (three walk-in/walk-out) and a spacious open utility area for tack, feed and hay. There are five well-fenced paddocks built for even the cheekiest of ponies: electric on the perimeter, foal fencing on the rear two and horse rail at the entry. Water from the massive steel rainwater tank and bore services the house, paddocks (via hoses) and garden.
Between the house and the stables lies a large partially insulated shed that has been centrally divided into a drive-in storage/parking area for a float or trailer and two additional rooms with ablutions (toilet, shower and laundry facilities) in one and a kitchenette and air-conditioning in the other. It s a super versatile space that could be set up as temporary accommodation, a workshop, home office or man cave.
This picturesque, 5-acre, parkland cleared property is located in a friendly neighbourhood where the annual street party is a highlight on the social calendar. Just 20 minutes from Midland and the famed delights of the Swan Valley, it s in one of Gidgegannup s most convenient and sought-after areas. This is country living par excellence.
