The living areas run along one end of the home and include a dining area, meals area, kitchen and family room. They feature timber flooring and soaring raked ceilings. Ceiling fans, ducted evaporative aircon and large reverse cycle cool the rooms, while a wood-fired heater will keep you cosy and helps heat water. The owners tell us the home also gets the sea breeze so there is rarely any need to use the airconditioning.

The homes open plan layout highlight the stunning views. All of them look out over various aspects of the property. You won't need artwork to decorate the walls when you have an outlook like this.

Sliding doors open to an elevated wraparound deck with barbecue - entertain, enjoy quiet family dinners or just sit with a coffee and immerse yourself in the beauty of it all. The owners say you can also see all the fireworks and there are even city views.

The home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The large master has a walk-in robe and superb ensuite with spa bath, shower and his-and-hers vanity unit.

In a piece of clever design, bedroom four can be accessed through the walk-in robe, making it great as nursery when the kids are small, a parents retreat for later, study or even a dressing room.

Two more bedrooms with robes are near the elegant main bathroom with freestanding bath, shower and his-and-hers vanity unit.

The home also has a handy office set off the hallway which can be closed off when not in use.

Outside there is a mineral pool surrounded by an expanse of white concrete - we said no expense was spared! What is currently a sundeck is strong enough to support a timber outdoor area if you're looking for a project. Whether you build it or not, this area is another great spot to enjoy the incredible outlook.

There is plenty of parking next to the house, along with a large office/warehouse the owners run their business from. This can easily become a huge garage and office.

The home is set on over 30ha of land that includes wandoo, marri and jarrah trees.

For equestrians there are multiple paddocks for the horses, luxury stables with a washbay and crush, and roundyard. Plus, an area has already been prepared for an arena.

There's a huge shed for all the toys, or make it a workshop or man cave - whatever you please.

To use an old cliché, but wait, there's more. Zoning allows for two residences on the property and if you want to build one for family or to rent out, a space has already been cleared.

It's really quite something isn't it.

Let's finish by talking about the off-the-grid features. The home, garage/workshop and shed all have solar panels to generate electricity. This is managed through the fridge and by tablet.
There is a back up generator, but the owners have never used this. The pool also has its own off-the-grid system.

The property has several water tanks, one supplies the house and has an extensive filtration system to deliver pure water. A windmill pumps water for the gardens and paddocks. All in all, you can run this huge property and it won't cost you a fortune in utility bills. In fact it won't cost you anything.

And while North Dandalup might sound like it's set deep in the country, it's less than half an hour from the heart of Mandurah and the coast. You really can have it all.
