Two residences, set on 16.8 acres of prime land this is a property unlike any other in the Perth hills. We're talking about two dwellings and over 350 metres of river frontage with RIPARIAN WATER RIGHTS! We're on a no-through road so this is a place not many people know exists. I'm going to lay out some facts, and then we're going to dig into the details of just what this place is all about.
WANT TO KNOW THE WHOLE STORY?
The video isn't just some kind of boring slow-motion slideshow, it's a full run down of what is here and shows you all the extra details so it's a great way to get the full story of just what is on offer. I also recommend checking out the photos and then exploring the floor plan and site plan in detail. There is just so much to take in with this incredible property. Ultimately though, a personal tour is essential.
THE MAIN HOUSE
The main residence offers seven bedrooms plus a study and a total of four bathrooms combined to offer a total floor plan of over 600sqm.
This is just such a high-quality home. From the kitchen and family meals area, we look down the valley and see the river. From here we go through to this magnificent lounge room. For such an enormous space it's a remarkably cosy kind of feel happening in here. With the exceptional landscaping around the property, every window looks out at something pretty. This main living room has one of the most extraordinary positions for enjoying the stunning backdrop of the river and the hills.
This living part of the main home has seven bedrooms and three bathrooms. (the fourth is accessed externally for outdoor entertaining) It leads through to this awesome granny flat that is so versatile. It's a continuation of the home so if y'all are just a big family it's part of the main house. But if you've got some grandparents or anyone who needs their own space it's a separate, private wing of the property. You have three bedrooms and one bathroom down this end of the home.
The pool area is a premium entertaining zone. There's big space for everyone to be in the pool or around the pool and you don't need to have people in and out of your house with a whole bathroom area, including a shower, adjacent to the pool. It's perfect for those big parties outside and you can avoid the masses passing in and out of the house.
MAIN HOME FEATURES INCLUDE
Gated access
Scheme water
10.36kw of solar panels
Whole of home water filtration system
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning
Woodfire heating
THE COTTAGE
Whilst the main residence is extraordinary, life in the cottage is no compromise. It's a beautiful space with two living areas, three bedrooms, and of course, a magnificent view from the bedrooms and the sunroom at the front. It has its own everything and was the main home for decades before the big house was built. The kitchen is a terrific size and design and there's no shortage of living entertaining space over here.
This property is truly the ultimate in multi-generational living. With the two homes, it's even both-sides-of-the-family-multi-generational-living.
Wander a little bit further along with the farm and we find the original house from which the whole place started. Built sometime between the first and second world wars it's reasonably leakproof and I reckon you could still make it moderately livable. It's a beautiful feature and whilst it's just storage at the moment a historic part of the property you could really make into something special.
THE LAND
The land is awesome, truly special earth. It's currently irrigated from the Canning River and it has riparian rights, meaning you have the right to take water for domestic purposes including irrigating your beautiful lawns and gardens.
The stables are awesome, all built from Jarrah there are six of them plus extra storage. There is a marvelous hen house too. The rest of this side of the block is very horse-friendly, with a huge arena and plenty of paddock space for them to enjoy. All the fencing around the property is in very good condition.
You're on one of the most spectacular sites in the whole region. There is a whole lot of Canning River frontage here. It runs within your boundary and this is the bit you can really enjoy. What kid gets to play in this kind of backyard these days? It's the most modern-day-olden-day lifestyle ever.
THE SHEDS
Just so much storage! There's a massive workshop of 88sqm with a high roller door for the caravan or big gear. The one over near the cottage is 75sqm. Plus you've got all these other storage areas. It's amazing!
WHERE IT IS
At the time of publishing Google Maps reckons it's 34km and about 40 minutes drive to the Perth CBD, and 26.5kms to the airport, a journey it says will take about 30 minutes. Whilst this serenity looks like we should be miles away from civilization, we're actually so close to so much. Just up the hill, we have fantastic award-winning restaurants and cafés. There's the world-class Araluen Golf Course nearby. You can ride into town with the bus stop just around the corner and that bus takes you straight to the train station. It's incredibly practical.
If you're still removing yourself from the hustle-bustle of the rest of the planet you're also on the doorstep to some stunning bushwalking and hiking trails that lead up and around Churchman Brook dam. It makes for a stunning afternoon expedition.
