SUPERB 5 ACRE SMALL HOBBY FARM CLOSE TO TOWN!
This home in central Mount Helena, just 500m (approx.) from the school is one of those properties that you just long to see come to market! Quality built by an Italian family in the 70s and then bought and loved by the current owners in the 80s, this 4-bedroom home has only ever had 2 owners and is so obviously a labour of love.
Here you get so much good infrastructure and a home that oozes warmth and charm. Featuring a garden that should be in a magazine, paddocks for the goats and sheep, a bore, a chook setup that is next level and a whopping 100kg of Macadamias a year along with so much fruit and vegetables from the 140sqm (approx.) of covered raised beds. Throw in solar panels, 3 fantastic sheds, 3 phase power, mains water and a fully fenced block with a stunning winter dam and this has hills lifestyle - raise the family and self-sustainability - written all over it.
This is an original 70's brick and clay roof tile home with lovely timber floorboards throughout. The large light-washed country kitchen was upgraded some 15 years back and will be the focal point of so many memories to come. It accommodates a large dining room table, a top-quality freestanding stove and so many cupboards! There is a spacious lounge with effective wood fire heating, a separate diner for formal meals along with 4 good sized bedrooms. There is a family bathroom with tub, WC and shower facilities. The laundry is out back off the porch and has a second WC - and was probably set up to double as a pickling room. The home itself is immaculate - there is not a crack or a thing out of place and you can just sense the wonderful stories that it must hold!
But while it truly is a beautiful home, it is outside that you will likely continue to remember after you have seen this property, it is just picture perfect. A garden parkland is how I first thought of it - but it quickly became clear as we walked around that over the years this family has added and expanded infrastructure in line with a thoughtful holistic plan to ensure it will sustain whoever is lucky enough to own this spread!
It is set up for growing your own produce, the productive bore feeds the masses of fruit trees, raised garden beds and macadamia nut trees. It also greens the beautiful grounds around the house and provides the ability to create manicured lawns that will provide you with glorious picnic spots all year round. There is a second driveway that leads to a large 3 phase powered shed and from there you can take off in so many directions - to the chook house that is provisioned for raising day old chicks and is so productive, the sheep paddock that is easily accessed from the feed shed, the back paddock and dam (magazine worthy in winter!) which is approximately 2.5 acres in size and fully fenced, the two large powered storage sheds, or just wander back to the house for morning tea!
The thing that makes this just so good is the black sandy and loamy soil underfoot. Things just grow so well here. There are beautiful deciduous trees that are fire retardant, and the poplars and park trees have been positioned as very effective wind breaks. There are 2 tanks that provide beautiful, filtered drinking water as well. If you wanted to create a proper market garden here, it would support it easily. With 30% shade cloth over your produce, it will keep going strong all year round.
With the bonus of solar power on the roof, 3 phase power for the tradies, easy access to town and Mundaring and more, this is an amazing, beautiful landscape that will be home once more to one lucky family for (I am sure) many more years to come. Make it yours and don't miss this very special opportunity, this would ideally suit a family or couple with time to spend outside and the owners would love to see it expanded even further.
