Elders Real Estate South West
Unique country lifestyle!
SOLD by Roslyn Ierace - The Leading Lady in Real Estate!
Need to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life? Need a tree change?
Then this could be just the property for you...
Resting at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, backing onto natural bush of the golf course behind, this quality 4-bedroom 2-bathroom family home is nestled on a secluded almost 6 acres of light natural bush land, less than 20 minutes to Bunbury, 25 minutes to Busselton and with the beach only a few minutes away. Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School and the Dalyellup shopping complex is less than a ten-minute drive. With the school bus service at the end of the street.
With wide 2.3 metre verandas sweeping around the home, this unique bush setting home is so different from the many others!
The main feature of the home is "the grand hall" of living rooms, this massive main living area is over 13 metres long and 5 metres wide, with a magnificent raked ceiling. The warm hues of natural timber can never be beaten, in the stunning doors, staircase and of course jarrah skirtings and doorframes! Boasting a large combustion fire to warm the entire home on those cool winter days.
The Tasmanian oak kitchen has stainless steel appliances including wall oven and gas hotplate, while an island bench offers extra work room, with a walk-in pantry and room for double fridge easily. With a perfect view out over the bush and a grassed area next to the pool. While the dining room next to the kitchen allows you to entertain and still be part of the party!
The design of the home affords itself to turned into a bed and breakfast as the fourth bedroom has direct access from outside and this is permissible under the Capel Shire's "Special Rural" zoning.
In total 4 bedrooms, all easily holds king-size beds and built in robes to 3. The spacious master bedroom of course has its own modern private ensuite.
The large fully renovated main bathroom, has a huge shower, deep free-standing bath, toilet and also has the most amazing underfloor heating. Adjacent to the main bathroom is the modern renovated laundry with heaps of storage/cupboards and between the bathroom and laundry is a separate fully renovated 3rd toilet.
The spectacular 8m x 3.8m below ground fibreglass pool has solar heating, a recessed pool blanket and built-in safety ledges all around, making it ideal for small children. The shade sails not only provide protection on the hottest summer days, but the stunning blue hues really add to the ambience of the pool/outdoors entertaining area.
The natural bush area is home to visiting kangaroos, an amazing array of local birdlife. There are a number of prolific fruit trees providing lemons, oranges, grapefruits, mandarins, limes and figs. The three fenced paddocks are suitable for horses or ponies, and with very little work, the lightly treed bush area around the house could be used for riding/jumping. The magnificent Tuart trees provide lots of shade, and two of the paddocks also have shelters that could easily be turned into stables.
There is a massive 19m x 9m lock-up shed with power that could be used as a business/workshop but is currently used to house two cars and a 25ft Fifth-Wheeler. The far end of the shed has a lockable roller-door and would be ideal to house a large tradesman's trailer or even a boat. There are 10 solar panels on the roof, as well as a back-up generator connected into the mains supply.
The carport attached to the house has room for an additional two cars. Next to the carport is a separate pine-lined Swedish style sauna, which is adjacent to another building that currently serves as a small gymnasium.
The house itself was re-roofed with colorbond sheeting in 2015.
In addition to two 80,000 litre rainwater tanks, there is a bore which provides water to most of the property, including the top paddock. There is also a large raised free-standing kids "Cubby", which has a neat verandah, power and full headroom.
They are happy to include a number of very useful items, including among others an excellent 4WD Quad Bike, a heavy-duty chainsaw and a very good line trimmer.
The present owners have enjoyed living at the property for the past ten years. They have decided, with some reluctance, that they now need to relocate to be closer to their grandchildren. So the home will be sold,.
