NATURAL SPLENDOUR - 5 ACRE BUSH RETREAT
5.15 ACRES of NATURAL SPLENDOUR, a bespoke bush retreat dwelling + SEPARATE STUDIO!
Bordering State Forrest and just footsteps to the Munda Biddi Trail!
If you've been on the look-out for a rural refuge to escape the rat-race, a peacefully private retreat with acreage size and untapped potential - this magically modest and brilliantly conceived hilltop hideaway property in Keysbrook is calling out in birdsong, just for YOU!
Occupying an elevated vantage within the spectacular Darling Ranges (genuinely hilltop) - this property takes in all that native bush surroundings have to offer. Streaming through every window, this setting itself is organically relaxing and tranquil. Tall stands of ancient jarrah trees offer a picture-perfect backdrop to this precious piece of privacy. Here's why
The Dwelling:
3 x bedrooms (2 downstairs and 3rd in the loft), 2 x bathrooms, open living/family plus sunroom extension perfect for study or rumpus room.
Potential packed - there's room to play with, at your leisure.
Perched high on raised bush pole stumps, with sweeping verandahs and heaps of room to move (and/or improve) beneath - this charming home stands proudly above the surrounding buildings and bushland. Upon entering, the ceiling soars high above you gifting light from the loft space and an openness to the main living/dining space which is central to the dwelling.
Classic original features abound inside, with timber cladding, exposed beams and slatted doors to wet areas - a consequential nod to the 80's and in notably terrific condition.
The kitchen is always on top of the renovation wish-list, and here this box is already ticked. Fixed granite cutting tops, stainless 900mm oven with range and an over-supply of pot drawers & extra storage feature strongly. And those stunning native flora views, once again, from the kitchen sink.
The Studio:
YES - the picture you've seen which shows a 45-degree high pitched roof, stone clad, barn door enclosed, light-filled 'chapel' of a building, is entirely separate to the main dwelling above. What a stand-alone masterpiece! Imagination runs wild with the possibilities for this unique space.
Formerly used as a meditation retreat before an extension and re-purposing as an arts studio. There have been suggestions and ideas of completing some minor improvements here to create a second dwelling, which are totally feasible - fact is there's 70m2 here to utilize with a dedicated rainwater tank, power and a solid timber structure, so with a sharp pencil there's heaps of plans and options - which are well worth planning towards.
The Shed/Workshop:
12m X 6.5m approx. covering 78m2 with concrete floor, 3 x sliding doors, multiple hanging GPO's for workbench works and a solar inverter of 2.6kW from 12 panels on the roof. A handy lean-to connects the workshop space to the studio.
Other Features:
Wrap-around timber decked verandahs with extended alfresco entertaining space - 110m2 approx.
Split system a/c's and r/c ceiling fans for cooling, slow combustion wood fire + gas heater for heating.
Solar + gas instantaneous hot water
NBN connected
3 Rainwater tanks varying sizes
Fruit trees
Great access with circular driveway and parking
Entertain the potential, brush a new stroke of life on a classic hilltop homestead - this absolute beauty will whisk you away to dream-state.. this one is a delight to describe and is even better to experience!
