Northam-Toodyay Road

Toodyay WA 6566

The original old home built in 1860 has been extended to include 3 bedrooms, two lounge rooms, dining room and an external office. The kitchen has been updated and the house is very neat and tidy, the house is serviced by an evaporative air conditioner and has a split system in the master bedroom. Lush gardens and a small rear lawn and patio area surround this house.
The second, more modern home is a 3 bedroom transportable home (recently renovated with a brand new kitchen), has laminate floor boards to the lounge and dining room and 3 split system air conditioners. To the rear of this house is the huge below ground swimming pool overlooking the rear paddocks and a small carport.
To the front of this house is a massive carport area PLUS a 2 bedroom by 1 bathroom granny flat (again with split system air conditioners) perfect for teenagers or as an external office.
Both houses are connected to scheme water, but there is also a fresh water bore behind the older house which pumps to a large 20,000 gallon concrete tank which can be used to water the gardens around both houses as there are sprinklers everywhere!
The houses are separated by an old established orchard, a huge chook pen with chook house, the barn and the workshops.
The beautiful old stone barn was built in 1861 which has been converted inside into 3 huge horse stables with the rear section as storage. There is a small yard next to the barn perfect for ponies or alpacas or any other pets you would like to keep close to home!
There is also the traditional clay tennis court, fully enclosed, with a small seating area and still used occasionally!
Plus there is the workshop/sheds. The granary, built in 1891 has now had a shearing shed built around it with a set of steel sheep yards outside, plus all around the granary has been enclosed for extra storage perfect for parking cars or tractors and machinery.
Then there is the long workshop shed which has a concrete floor workshop section at the front (three phase power connected), then wide opening doors perfect for storage and a small carport area at the rear. This shed you could convert into anything, the rear wall is the original old stone wall from the stables that used to house the Clydesdales a long time ago, you could convert this shed into a huge stable block or modernise the workshop end!
There are two large dams just behind the paddocks next to the houses. The larger dam is man made and will only fill depending on how much rain fall you get each year. The second dam is really a dam made around the old river wet lands this dam also only fills dependant on rain fall each year.
The paddocks around the house are fenced into a good front horse paddock with electric fencing, a rear paddock behind the houses, a small side paddock and both dams are fenced off as well.
This picturesque property has direct Avon River frontage and the original Glen Avon Weir is right behind the houses! You literally can walk to the river from your back door.
All of this is located right in between Northam and Toodyay (about 12kms from Toodyay and 15kms from Northam).
School bus stops outside and you have green wheelie bin pick up as well.
