25 acres, 4 beds, 2 baths, a freestanding brick studio, brick workshop, massive farm shed, productive bore, water tanks and paddocks with brick piggery. Tractor and fire equipment included with sale.
Just 35 minutes from Midland is this magical homestead on 25 acres that has been developed over the years to become one of the best laid out hobby farm properties on the market. Designed and custom built by the family who live in it still, a skilled bricklayer setout to create a property that would become a lovely family home. Over the years the infrastructure was added and divided into clear paddocks and stunning sections of trees. The grounds have housed a variety of animals over the years too and if you are looking for a genuine change of pace and a new lifestyle, then this is a must see. Included in the sale is a tractor and plough and a fully setup water trailer for use when burning off.
Filled with warmth and character, the home itself has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms but in a much more practical layout. The 4th bed can double as a large study and the second bathroom is a wet room bathroom for when you come in off the land. The soaring ceilings of the family areas with timber lining and back to back open fires create two simply amazing living areas that have the most magical atmosphere. The large country kitchen diner is a fabulous space to prepare meals and have breakfast and there is a large formal dining area as well. There is a wood heater in the kitchen that also heats the water through an exchanger!
This house was purpose built and you can see that from the wide verandahs that protect all year around, to the ample storage that has been built into the home.
Yes you could update it a little, but I challenge you to find a better built - more honest - home in this area. It has solar hot water and solar panels as well as split systems for cooling and heating if you forget to cut up the wood.
Outside around the home there is a home made round brick gazebo - which is really special - and a koi pond with filters and pump. There are reticulated vegetable gardens and masses of fruit trees so you could easily become largely self sufficient here.
All that aside - it is the infrastructure there that really impresses and in reality is the part that takes so much time and money to setup. First of all - the water. Water for this home is dual sourced from a bore and rain water. Filling a collection tank, it can then be pumped up to the house tank or sent out to the grounds. Water is precious here and this cannot be understated. Also there is a large farm shed with two separate workshop areas and this is where the tractor is stored. The plough (included) will get your firebreaks done in no time.
There is a large and separate brick studio next to the farm shed that would be an awesome office, or a place to paint. It could even be the kids play room, or a games room. Or you could set it up for guests.
Out back there is another substantial brick workshop so you have so many spaces to work and store!
Driving around this property is a joy. We took the 4x4 and did the paddocks and perimeter. There are gated paddocks (around 5 practical paddocks for rotation) many of which have good ground cover and relatively cleared of trees. Up the top near Wallaby Way is the more "natural" area where you could consider putting a bush studio / cottage for B&B as it is seriously pretty.
Then the piggery - this is a really good setup if you want to keep some pigs - its even got a piglet nursery.
The land is bound on one side by a creek and on the other by Wallaby Way - so you actually do have two street access to this property which is really important.
