Take Me Home, Country Road
Homes on super-sized lifestyle blocks in the Kalgan River region are in demand with discerning buyers appreciating the tranquility, space and superb natural environment.
This beautiful property will present the new owners with several exciting options, either for living in the existing neat cottage, extending it, or building a new dream home on the land.
Near the banks of the Kalgan for fishing, bush walking and kayaking, the 6216sqm estate has been brilliantly established to soak up the country ambience while being easy to maintain.
Tall eucalypts flank the driveway leading to the cottage and gardens, which are tucked away for privacy with stands of native trees and bushes for shelter and birdlife.
Pleasant, sunny and versatile, the cottage has been upgraded in recent years with a modernised kitchen and shower room, and the installation of vinyl plank flooring.
The comfy lounge has a wood fire and glass doors onto an enclosed, paved patio or games room. Beside this is a covered, sheltered area for stowing bikes, kayaks and other big toys.
Adjoining the white kitchen – with electric cooking and a breakfast bar – is a generous dining area, and the back door onto another patio with a lovely view north as far as the Porongurups.
Both bedrooms are big doubles, and the shower room off the laundry is complete with a vanity and toilet.
A carport adjoins the house, and there's a lock-up shed as well as a woodshed, and an open summer entertaining area for a barbecue and firepit.
The land is mostly cleared and in grass, so a session on the ride-on mower keeps it looking spick and span.
A few fruit trees are already established and there's plenty of space for expanding the orchard, setting up a chicken run and planting vegetable beds.
A rainwater tank supplies the home and there's a bore for the gardens.
Good fencing, two-road access and solar hot water are other benefits of this outstanding country property, which is within easy reach of the renowned Great Southern Grammar and a pleasant 20-minute commute to the city.

Kalgan overview
The townsite of Kalgan is located in the south coastal region, about 21 kilometres northeast of Albany. It was gazetted a townsite in 1912 following the opening up of land in the area, but land had been put aside for a townsite here in 1837. The place was named "Wyndham" on an 1839 map of the area, but there was no subdivision or land made available in the townsite. It is recorded that it was to be the site of a farming community for the Society of Friends (Quakers), but there is no evidence that any Quakers ever settled in the area.
As there was already a Wyndham in the Kimberley when the town was gazetted in 1912, the name Kalgan was chosen for the townsite. Kalgan is the Aboriginal name of the river on which the townsite is situated, the name being first recorded by the explorer Dr A Collie as "Kalgan-up" in 1831. It is said to mean "place of many waters". The river had earlier been referred to as the "French River", since the French explored it in 1803.
