There is so much to take in with this amazing property- a gorgeous home with stunning views, a rural backdrop and a range of business opportunities.
The owners bought it to enjoy a fantastic lifestyle with their three sons, and the boys certainly embraced all that was on offer - swimming in the pool, fishing in the dam, exploring acres of land and the adjoining state forest, plus doing some woodworking in the warehouse.
The family also enjoyed may wonderful celebrations together, including birthday parties and family celebrations.
While there was plenty of excitement over the years, life was peaceful too, with the property offering nature at its best, including beautiful aspects, kangaroos on the doorstep and the chatter of the plentiful birds.
Now, if it's so wonderful, why would the owners be selling? All good things come to an end and with their children grown and living overseas, they want the opportunity to travel and visit their family without having to worry about maintaining a large property.
Their change of direction could pave the way for the future you've been dreaming off, so read on and see what delights are in store.
The house
The two-storey home has been beautifully renovated and has plenty of room for family living.
On the ground floor is a sunken living/dining area.
The floorboards are Hybrid in Kitchen passage laundry & laminate in lounge
The adjoining kitchen is well-equipped and boasts a large walk-in pantry. It opens to a large, fully fenced alfresco area and the pool. Make yourself a coffee in the morning and come out here and enjoy the views, which extend over the coastal plain from Port Coogee to Garden Island. Or sit down for a wine or beer in the evening and watch the sunset paint the sky in hues of red, orange and gold then marvel at the lights at night.
The entertaining area isn't just for relaxation though, it's the perfect place to host gatherings with family and friends - they'll love the views too.
There are also three bedrooms on ground floor; a bathroom with shower, vanity unit and toilet; a second toilet; and laundry.
Upstairs you'll find a spacious parents' retreat. While the kids play downstairs you can enjoy some quiet time here watching TV, reading or, again, taking in the incredible outlook. The master bedroom is on this level and has a walk-in robe and ensuite with spa bath, vanity unit, shower and toilet.
Back outside, there are front and rear veranda where you can also sit and enjoy the scenery.
The property
The property includes 13.5 beautiful acres of undulating land. The area has been farmed since the early 1900s and there are remnant pockets of natural bush and rocky outcrops.
There is a large creek-fed dam (over 1 million litres) and water tanks to hold your own water supply, saving on water rates.
If you like self-sufficiency and to enjoy your own produce, there is an orchard with orange, mandarin, pears, lime, lemon, cherry plum, grapefruit, fig and nectarine trees, plus a half-acre fenced vegetable plot ready for planting.
And while the owners' children liked fishing in the dam, yours might want a horse and there is plenty of room to set up equestrian facilities. There is also an aviary for bird enthusiasts.
The location
You have the benefits of country living close to all the conveniences here.
The property borders national park. It is crown land
There is a track following the creek for walkers and horse riders to explore. There's even a waterfall to the north east. If you want some downhill thrills (and spills), there's also a gazetted mountain bike track nearby.
The property is surrounded by tourist attractions including Millbrook Winery, Wungong Regional Park and Cohunu Koala Park. Scenic Nettleton Road also winds its way to Jarradale where there are a number of retreats and scenic attractions.
And while you'll get to enjoy an incredible rural lifestyle, you're only 2km from Byford, with a range of public and private schools, cafes, restaurants and shops. The new Byford train station will be operational in 2025 for a commute to the City for work or pleasure (think footy, cricket and concerts at Optus Stadium). And it's a short drive into Armadale.
The business opportunities
If you want something more than just a home, the opportunities here are only limited by your imagination.
Build chalets and run an Airbnb - or offer glamping - with guests enjoying the property's many features as well as the surrounding attractions.
The amphitheatre-style setting at the front of the home (and the opportunities for stunning photography) lends itself to events such as weddings.
The area is zoned rural, so you could do some farming or run a cottage-style business based on the orchard - think jams, preserves and baked goods.
Or make the most of the existing business facilities, including a 210sqm warehouse, parking for trucks and 40-foot containers. with easy access via double gates. The owners used to run a furniture importing business.
You also have the option to plan for the future and land bank - the property can be leased and produce holding income.
