If the notion of raising your family in an idyllic bush setting feels old-school and out of reach, don't throw out your tadpole nets just yet!The same family has occupied this sprawling property since 1958, a time when Kalamunda was a tiny rural township with basic amenities and a pub. Here, you will find a whopping 4,047sqm of land, a modest three-bedroom, one-bathroom family home, a free-standing Cabana/Studio with a second bathroom, and a fantastic alfresco and pool area.The dwelling is set deep into the block, with a long circular driveway and a double lock-up garage with roller door access to the rear of the property. Inside, find an air-conditioned living room, three bedrooms with built-in robes, a functional kitchen and bathroom and a separate activity/study. Just as it adequately served the owners for decades, the home will accommodate you comfortably while you plan and build a brand-new, contemporary residence on the site.The Cabana/Studio has its own carport, a good-sized living space, a bathroom with a WC, basin and shower, and a spacious storage shed. There's so much outdoor space that you will never need to worry about the cricket ball going over the neighbour's fence, and the saltwater pool will be a welcome reprieve when the temperatures climb in the warmer months.Enjoy stunning virgin bushland surrounds teeming with native flora and local wildlife, including black-tailed cockatoos and a local kangaroo family - it is a rare opportunity to return to nature in the truest sense. You will have the best of both worlds; a private and tranquil bush setting, coupled with excellent shopping and dining amenities a few minutes away in Kalamunda's town centre, spectacular scenery and walking trails, convenient access to the airport terminals, Midland and major transport links.With all of this what else could you ask for? How about being less than 10 minutes away from the stunning Bickley Valley, boasting dozens of award winning wineries and restaurants for you to explore, at you leisure of course!The stars twinkle that little bit brighter and the whistling wind is a little cleaner, here in the Perth Hills!
