HORSE COUNTRY CALLING

Six acres of gently rolling pasture, a competition-standard arena, and a home that rewards country living - this is the kind of property that serious equestrians spend years searching for, tucked away in El Caballo Heights on the Wooroloo border where the skies are wide, and the stars come out in numbers you'd forgotten were possible.

For the horse-lover, the infrastructure here does the talking. The 25 x 60-metre Kamco arena has a sand-and-wood-chip surface and excellent drainage - it's built for year-round work, not just fair-weather rides. Six paddocks with electric fencing, individual shelters, two yards, and laneways between paddocks allow machinery and stock to move around the property with ease. A 6 m x 9 m powered workshop with drive-in access, a garden shed, level space to park and manoeuvre floats, and a machinery shelter round out a practical, well-considered set-up that's ready to go from day one.

The home sits at a high point on the block, looking out over the kind of countryside that reminds you exactly why you headed to the Hills. To the west, you get the full drama of sunsets and incoming storms rolling across open country - the kind of light show that never quite loses its novelty. A sheltered alfresco entertaining area anchors outdoor life at the rear, its high gabled roof and built-in wood-fired pizza oven making it the sort of space that draws people outside regardless of the season. A wide south-facing verandah, softened by the shade of tall fig and mulberry trees, extends the outdoor options further. Beyond it, a quietly productive kitchen garden awaits - raised beds ready to be restored to their full potential, and an informal orchard of fig, pomegranate, olive, pear, nectarine, citrus and apple trees that, with a little attention, will reward the next owners with a homegrown bounty season after season.

Inside, the ground floor offers a formal lounge with brand-new carpet and a generous dining room currently doing duty as a home office - a flexible arrangement that speaks to how well the floor plan adapts to different needs. The open-plan kitchen and meals area sits at the heart of the home, freshly updated with cabinetry painted in a quiet eucalyptus green, an electric oven and cooktop, a dishwasher, and a pantry fitted with slide-out shelves. A shoppers' entry from the carport keeps the daily routine sensibly organised.

Upstairs, a carpeted staircase opens onto a light-filled, air-conditioned family room with access to an east-facing deck - a lovely spot for a morning coffee with bush views. Two bedrooms, both carpeted and with built-in robes, share a family bathroom; the larger room has semi-ensuite access. Raked ceilings and dormer windows give the upper level a warmth and character that's hard to manufacture - it's charming in a way that doesn't feel overdone.

El Caballo Heights sits at the edge of Wooroloo - far enough from Perth to feel like a genuine escape, close enough to stay connected.
