There is an irresistible romance to a life spent close to nature; whether it’s the beauty of the changing seasons, the satisfaction of producing your food, or the quiet grandeur of a natural landscape - a physical connection with the earth rewards both body and soul. Discovering a property that delivers both the opportunity to grow food, raise animals and the peace and privacy of 30 acres within the Mundaring catchment is akin to striking gold.
An iconic homestead roofline and verandahs, a central living area with a pitched, timber-lined ceiling, and the skilful use of natural and recycled materials are a mere introduction to the many charms of this memorable property. The central open-plan provides a natural focus for daily life with a slow combustion fire, well-appointed kitchen, and easy movement to an expanse of outdoor living. This airy, central space, filled with a sense of ease and welcome, opens at either end to separate bedroom wings.
The main suite features dual aspect glazing and views of paddocks and bushland. This roomy, private zone is a wonderful parents’ retreat set at the end of a short hallway fitted with robes and leading to a large bathroom. A plush and spacious office expands this ‘grown-up’ area and could be styled as a fifth bedroom or nursery. Each of the junior rooms is carpeted and fitted with built-in robes.
With paddocks, a home orchard, a dam and a mighty workshop, there is no shortage of inspiration when it comes to filling your days. But perhaps the most enticing option is exploring the natural wonderland that is literally on the doorstep. Home to an abundance of native flora and fauna, the adventure of uncovering the diversity of this landscape is undoubtedly the greatest gift of this stunning property.

Permanent settlement in Mundaring began in 1882-84 when Mr Peter Gugeri established a vineyard south of the Eastern Railway. The first railway siding at Mundaring was named after him and for some years the area was generally known as "Gugeris". A later settler, M H Jacoby, took over Gugeris' vineyards in 1893, and named the business the "Mundaring Vineyard Company". The name came from an Aboriginal camp situated nearby and the meaning given to Jacoby by the aborigines was "a high place on a high place". The correct pronunciation was "Mundahring" but common usage has gradually converted this to "Mundairing".
Known as the heart of the Perth hills, Mundaring is located on the eastern edge of the Perth Hills. It offers stunning walking and cycling trails, spectacular state forest and national parks and home to the historic Mundaring Weir. Other facilities include two primary schools (Sacred Heart School and Mundaring Primary School) and one secondary school (Mundaring Christian College).
