LOOKING FOR THE LIFESTYLE WITH THE LOT? A VERY PRIVATE AND SECLUDED HOME, THREE SHEDS, SOAKS, BORE, WELL AND ORCHARD, ALL ENVELOPED BY TREES, WETLANDS, GARDENS AND A SCENIC UNDULATING LANDSCAPE, THEN THIS 40.58HA PROPERTY PRESENTS AN EXCEPTIONAL LIFESTYLE OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES, RETIREES, TREE CHANGERS OR NATURE LOVERS. SITUATED ONLY MINUTES FROM WORLD-CLASS BEACHES, WINERIES AND A PLEASANT DRIVE FROM MARGARET RIVER AND BUSSELTON, THIS UNIQUE PROPERTY HAS A PEACEFUL, CALMING AMBIANCE IN A DELIGHTFUL SETTING. THE LIMESTONE BLOCK HOME WITH WRAP-AROUND VERANDAHS IS BOTH IMPRESSIVE AND MAJESTIC. INSIDE FEATURES HIGH CEILINGS WITH EXPOSED JARRAH BEAMS AND THE CLEVER USE OF STONE AND NATURAL TIMBER TO CREATE A CLASSIC COUNTRY ATMOSPHERE WHICH IS SPACIOUS YET COSY. THE HOME FEATURES THREE LARGE BEDROOMS, MULTIPLE LIVING AREAS, NEWLY REBUILT KITCHEN WITH NATURAL TIMBER BREAKFAST COUNTER, SCULLERY WITH BUILT-IN PANTRY, STUDY, TWO GREAT BATHROOMS (ONE WITH A SPA) PLUS A SPACIOUS AND WARM SUNROOM TAKING IN THE RURAL VISTA. MOST ROOMS HAVE ENJOYABLE AND RELAXING OUTLOOKS OVER THE GARDEN AND LAWN AREAS, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL WITH DOORS TO THE WIDE VERANDAH. THE HOMESTEAD IS LOCATED ON SANDCASTLE FARM AND IS AN IDEAL LIFESTYLE PROPERTY IN A CENTRAL LOCATION, HALFWAY BETWEEN MARGARET RIVER AND BUSSELTON IN THE LOCALITY OF METRICUP IN THE STATE'S ENVIABLE SOUTH WEST. THIS PROPERTY DELIVERS MANY ENJOYABLE ASPECTS, ALL YEAR ROUND. WHEN THE BEAUTIFUL WETLAND FILLS, YELVERTON BROOK FLOWS TO THE NORTH. THIS SHALLOW LAKE IS ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES OF THE WINTER MONTHS AS IT IS TEEMING WITH BIRDLIFE; BLACK SWANS, DUCKS AND OTHER BIRDLIFE USE THIS WETLAND AS THEIR HOME AND BREEDING GROUND IN THE WINTER AND SPRING TIMES SEES THE NEW BIRDS' FIRST HOME RIGHT HERE AT SANDCASTLE FARM. ON THE ODD OCCASION, THERE ARE TURTLES SPOTTED IN THE SOAK AND WHEN THE WETLAND DRIES OUT, KANGAROOS CAN BE SEEN FEEDING ON THE GREENER PASTURES PROVIDED BY THIS FERTILE ENVIRONMENT. ALL THIS IS SO CLOSE TO THE CONVENIENCE OF THE NEARBY TOWNS OF COWARAMUP, MARGARET RIVER AND BUSSELTON. AWAY FROM THE WETLAND AREA, THE PROPERTY PROVIDES A DIVERSE SELECTION OF OTHER ECOLOGIES. TO THE WEST SIDE OF THIS SPECTACULAR PROPERTY ARE SHELTERED POCKETS OF PEPPERMINT REGROWTH AND REMNANT VEGETATION WHICH HAS NOT BEEN GRAZED UNDER FOR MANY YEARS, WHICH HAS ALLOWED THE UNDERGROWTH AND GRASSLAND TO BE VIBRANT AND STRONG. TREE GROWTH IS ALSO EVIDENT IN THE HIGHER GROUND AND THE CLEAR SOAK DAM PROVIDES A HABITAT FOR THE GILGIE (A FRESHWATER 'CRAYFISH'). A WELL IS LOCATED NEAR THE SOAK AND THIS USED TO ONCE SUPPLY WATER TO THE HOUSE. TO THE EAST OF THE BROOK/CREEK THE SOILS COMPRISE A DARK LOAM WITH SOME AREA OF IRONSTONE OUTCROPPING. THIS AREA IS PREDOMINANTLY REMNANT BUSHLAND COMPRISING MARRI, JARRAH, BLACKBUTT, BULLICH AND BEAUTIFUL GRASS TREES WITH SOME BORONIA ADJACENT TO THE CREEK. ONE TOUR OF THE BLOCK AND YOU WILL SEE THE DIVERSITY AND BEAUTY OFFERED IN THIS LOCATION. WHERE THE SAND HAS BEEN EXCAVATED AN ORCHARD NOW EXISTS WHICH PROVIDES LOADS OF FRUIT TREES, ALL ENCLOSED AND NETTED FOR OPTIMAL RETURN. CLOSE TO THE WATER TABLE, THERE IS AMPLE WATER THERE TO FEED THE TREES AND THE OPENNESS OF THIS AREA MEANS IT IS NOT IN COMPETITION WITH NATIVE FLORA. THIS BEAUTIFUL ORCHARD HAS BEEN FENCED AGAINST RABBITS AND KANGAROOS AND IS FULLY RETICULATED, WITH THE IRRIGATION HAVING BEEN CLEVERLY INSTALLED TO ALLOW FOR EASY EXTENSION OF THE MAIN LINE TO IRRIGATE FURTHER CROPS TO THE NORTH OR EXTENSION OF THE ORCHARD. WHAT THE LIFESTYLER WILL REALLY LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY ABOVE ALL THE DIVERSE ECOLOGICAL ASPECT IS THE WONDERFUL HOME WHICH PROVIDES A WARM GETAWAY IN THE WINTER MONTHS WITH ITS COSY WOOD FIRE, AND THE SHADY VERANDAHS IN THE SUMMER, THE IDEAL PLACE TO WHILE AWAY A SUNNY AFTERNOON. WITH WINERIES, BEACHES AND EATERIES ALL WITHIN EASY REACH, THIS PROPERTY HAS IT ALL. THE HOME IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED BOTH INTERNALLY AS WELL AS EXTERNALLY. THE RA
