This is what life was supposed to be about. A sensational opportunity to secure a country-kind of lifestyle with all the convenience of living in the city. There is so much to love about this premium location. The views, the home, and the seclusion are what many people dream about, but most can never find.
THE HOUSE
This really is just a beautiful place to be. The central living area is the hub of daily life in this home. The kitchen is perfectly placed for you to be engaged with everything that's going on, whether it be inside or outside, as it enjoys the views of the front garden. It all opens up to that stunning alfresco area that is outdoor living done right. It really has that seamless kind of flow between inside and outside with this enormous yet warm and inviting space. There are two living zones, plus the meals area, and you'll be left with options as to how best to configure it all to suit your life. Just come and be here and see what you feel. I'm feeling... pretty relaxed.
The master bedroom is the ultimate retreat from day-to-day life in a home that is a retreat from the daily grind on a block that is already some kind of retreat from reality. It's quite the treat. The ensuite bathroom is enormous, and there is plenty of wardrobe space in here too. There is a private balcony and a beautiful view across your back lawn and out across the valley.
The secondary bedrooms both have a very decent size, and there is certainly nothing wrong with the view from these rooms either.
THE PROPERTY
Just a smidgen over 3 acres of land, this has been landscaped and shaped to be tremendously manageable for such a big parcel of land. We're not off grid here, but we're pretty close if you want to be. There are a whole lot of solar panels on the roof and there is a very practical arrangement with the water tanks supplying the house. It's been tremendously well thought out and years of testing and improving the way to get it right have led to this exceptional property we see today.
Whilst this part of the hills is characteristically… hilly, this property provides flatter, more usable land than virtually any I've seen in the area. Getting around the property is simple and doesn't require a major effort to perform simple tasks. It's the ultimate combination of usable land. It's high enough in the hills to enjoy a stunning view.
The gardens are magnificent, and there is a true sense of care and consideration in what has been achieved in this landscaping design. Native Australian plants that have proven themselves suited to the environment I found in abundance in this garden. I reckon you're going to want to make your home here, as have the many birds and scurrying native animals that have set up their homes here, too. There's room for a horse and plenty of space for those chooks or sheep.
The dam has historically been full for the majority of the year and is used for irrigating various portions of the block. Keep in mind that we have not shown you this property at the premium time of year. After the first rains or heading into spring, but are showing it to you after a long, dry, hot summer. And if it looks this good after all that brutal Australian heat, well, you can imagine how amazing it looks the rest of the year.
The shed is easily accessed via the driveway that runs all the way down to the back of the property. You'll find ample parking and plenty of workshop space down here. There's this amazing mud brick studio that has so much scope for future uses. Paint that picture, potter that clay or just sit here for the joy of it. Up the garden path there's a railway carriage that has been used for storage but could be anything else too. Take your time deciding what to do you've got plenty of days to enjoy it.

Kelmscott is a mixed-use residential, industrial, rural and commercial suburb located 25 kilometres southeast of Perth.

Established in 1830, Kelmscott's most rapid growth period was in the 1960s and 1970s.
Though close to the lively Armadale City Centre, Kelmscott is a quiet suburb nestled among the numerous parks and reserves that pepper its landscape.
