The greatest things in life get better with age. They can never be hurried or rushed. Like fruiting trees which mature to bear edible fruit after years of care, improvement, watering and nourishment.
For the very first time in over 30 years - one of the greatest things in Hopeland is being offered to the market, along with renewed opportunity and unspeakable potential to create the next generation of historic moments, in a popular rural location on the fringe of the metro area - just 40 minutes' drive to Perth CBD!!

THE BRIEF:
Quality, established and productive foothills properties such as this particularly fine example - are incredibly rare and only come up once a decade if you're lucky to catch them. Curated with care, foresight and tended with patience - there's no secret that the natural beauty of this property and grounds are a reflection of the pride the current owners have taken in every decision over the lifetime of this farm. An honest celebration of Australian rural lifestyle on the land, with extensive gardens of mature flowering trees, paths, arbors and fruits.
Rich in pastures, sandier well-draining soils and plenty of pristine water. Your rural dreams will find you here.

THE PARCEL:
Occupying a total of 42.91 hectares or 106 acres - comprising of 3 x large paddocks, one with irrigation closest to the homestead and a fourth currently used as hardstand. The jarrah-split fencing is in great condition and suitably contains the herd of cattle who feast on a well covered spread of couch and kikuyu summer pastures and perennial ryegrass with clovers during the cooler months.
The northernmost portion spanning the entire width of the lot; is mostly wooded and has been fenced off to the grazing animals. A distinct patch of yellow sand in this area has been very useful in the past - for building and other jobs around the farm.

THE HOMESTEAD:
Constructed in 2000 from re-constituted limestone this character farmhouse homestead boasts wide open spaces, lashings of native timbers against the raw yellow earth and streams of natural light filling the heart of this family home. Hand-crafted sheoak timber benchtops, wood-burning stove and ample storage space in the kitchen beneath soaring high ceilings provides a warmth and homely aspect - which can't simply be written with words.

Expansive open-planned living space connects the kitchen, dining, family rooms and a further sun-room featuring stunning bay window overlooking the gardens is the perfect games or activity space for children (or the artist!).
Complete with wrap-around verandahs paved with liquid limestone are made easily accessible from indoors - with no less than 8 x glass sliding doors, including from each of the bedrooms. Stunning scenery of gardens, paddocks and hills are framed perfectly in any direction you look, inviting you outside.

WATER:
With a couple of bores to chose from, both are drinkable quality and offer plentiful volume. There's also a windmill/electric pump filling a 56,500L concrete tank specifically for stock watering and further troughs.
For domestic supply - the homestead has a dedicated 100,000L rainwater tank, with a recently replaced liner.
Hot water is serviced by solar and wood-burning stove in the kitchen. Heat the hearth, home and the water during winter.

Cattle yards, race and ramp adjoining the 'Old Dairy' are entirely tubular steel construction.
Raised vegetable plot spanning 15m x 10m with a dedicated potting shed, covered lean-to and shaded beds with reticulation.
