27 Meadowbrook Retreat, Oakford WA 6121

Timber features, green views and blue-chip outskirts address frame 27 Meadowbrook Retreat; a quiet, family property that makes the most of its sweeping five-acre block (approx. 2ha).
Emerging from a private buffer of mature gumtrees obscuring the road, 27 Meadowbrook offers much to the modern escapee as it fans out into an all-embracing country homestead. A landscaped native garden frames an outspread main frontage; a mix of mid-century full-brick construction meeting modern, timber-clad elegance in the home's high-set second storey.
'Old meets new' is the theme here; a sun-drenched interior showcasing vaulted ceilings, prominent hardwood fixtures and shining wooden floors to hint at a luxury unusual for any standard homestead. Don't be fooled, though; 27 Meadowbrook is still every bit the practical family-first modern home, with large bedrooms spaced privately around the floorplan in such a fashion that Mum 'n Dad clearly had some say in the home's construction. Each of these rooms is sunlit and tall, far higher than the norm and with built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom is where the block's views shine, though; with a private breakfast nook & charismatic balcony showcasing views across the nearby paddocks, and native greenery.
Downstairs, a modern, recently remodelled kitchen showcases natural stone benchtops and refinished wooden cupboards. The open plan main floor has a large meals area under a vaulted ceiling while the adjoining family room is kept warm with a slow combustion stove - again an 'old meets new,' nostalgia meeting the practicalities of busy family life. Additional large spaces include two separate offices, a formal dining room, a games/theatre room with a mosaic topped bar, a separate activity room (with newly laid natural slate flooring) and an array of storage rooms - including a walk-in attic.
Outdoors, the five acres of 27 Meadowbrook come alive.
Streaky sunrise views frame an outdoors of grassy paddocks and hobby-farm potential. A large fully fenced paddock with a winter creek is kept green in summer from the approved bore. The house uses filtered rainwater captured from the huge roof and stored in the rainwater tank. The Ecomax wastewater system (see below features) offers less-grid-reliant living to any so inclined as does the 6.05kw solar PV system with 22 Canadian 275 panels and a Fronius Promo5 inverter on the barn roof. The American Style barn by Avalon Stables has two large horse stalls (with separate yards) and a powered workshop and storeroom with a 1500 litre water tank with pump for good measure.
With space to spare and an address in the quiet Oakford township, 27 Meadowbrook offers a desirable escape to those looking to discard the constraints of suburban living. See the below features for more information on the block, house, and Oakford's neighbourhood spirit.
