In the attractive rural township of Manypeaks, an easy drive from Albany, this neat property promises the idyllic country lifestyle many people aspire to – and proves there’s no need to break the bank to achieve it.
It consists of a timber and iron home on a 1,200sqm block with a chook run, veggie beds, lawns and space for parking big vehicles.
There’s something here to please every member of the family and it’s all within a short walk of the primary school, community centre and playground, as well as the general store selling fuel, liquor and groceries.
At the side of the home on the wide-frontage block is vehicular access to the back yard and on the other side, a double garage with additional space for stowing the trailer or dinghy.
Sliding glass doors from the front veranda open onto the lounge. Timber floors, a well-positioned wood fire, air conditioning and a leafy outlook make this a pleasant, comfortable room. This is open to the dining area – also with timber flooring – and the kitchen at the back.
Enhancing the living rooms is a huge covered, paved patio reached via the dining area. This is perfect for family Christmases, year-round undercover play space and planting a kitchen garden.
A hallway off the lounge leads to the three bedrooms, laundry, toilet and bathroom with bath, shower and vanity.
In the enclosed backyard is a newish chook shed with a fenced run and raised veggie beds as well as a concrete-floored garden shed and a rainwater tank.
There’s heaps of play space for little and bigger kids, and within 20 minutes’ drive are beautiful Cheyne Beach, Norman’s Beach and Betty’s Beach for camping and coastal pursuits such as fishing, swimming, bird-watching and walks. Mt Manypeaks and the nature reserve surrounding it are a few minutes’ drive away.
The school bus to Albany stops on the highway, just around the corner.
The new owners of this property will love being a part of the Manypeaks community, bringing up the family with fresh air, gathering their own chooks’ eggs and harvesting home-grown veggies while appreciating the tranquillity of this scenic area.
