375 Crockerup Road, Mount Barker WA 6324

SUSTAINABLE, SELF-SUFFICIENT LIVING WITH A STIRLING RANGE OUTLOOK

If you are eager to embrace the serenity and independence of an off-grid way of life without giving up the convenience of town, 375 Crockerup Road offers the best of both worlds.

Located just 8kms from Mount Barker and its famous bakery, this peaceful lifestyle property has uninterrupted views across surrounding farmland to the spectacular Stirling Range and sits on almost 50 acres.

The patio is an idyllic spot to soak up the outlook over a morning cuppa, enjoy alfresco meals, and relax as the sunsets and stars appear.

Inside the custom-made jarrah entrance doors, the north-facing, open plan kitchen, meals and family area soak up the winter sun, filling the space with light and warmth.

Built in 2016 by two-time Master Builders WA Building Excellence Awards finalist Great Southern Endeavour Projects, this high energy-efficiency rated Colorbond home's solar passive design keeps it comfortable year-round.

A Spectre Baker's Oven fireplace at the heart of the two-bedroom, one bathroom home keeps it cosy during the cooler months, while doubling as a second oven and stovetop for energy-efficient, woodfired home cooking. The kitchen is equipped with a gas hotplate, electric oven and mountaintop views while washing up.

Both bedrooms have treetop outlooks, with built-in-robes in the main. The laundry features a built-in linen closet and separate toilet, and the heat pump provides instant hot water year-round.

The financial freedom of off-grid living is well catered for by a stand-alone 6.2kW solar power and battery storage system professionally installed by Albany Solar, supported by a near-new 7kVA silenced automatic back-up generator. The Selectronic Select.Live remote monitoring system allows you to conveniently monitor the system from your phone.

NBN fixed wireless internet services the home and shed, providing the connectivity to work from home and stream your favourite shows.

The back door opens onto a wraparound verandah, with Toodyay Stone steppers leading to the firewood shed and a private supply of timber a short stroll away.

The one-acre rodent and snake-proof fenced yard offers plenty of space for children and pets to run and play securely, with entrance, side and rear gates providing excellent access to rest of the property.

Rainwater tanks provide more than 150,000 litres of storage, while a dam constructed in the rear paddock in 2022 can hold an additional two million litres.

Grow your own produce in the raised, self-wicking vegetable beds, set amongst about two dozen young fruit trees, including apple, pear, cherry, mulberry, avocado, peach, fig, feijoa, pomegranate, lemon, lime, mandarin, almond and olive.

Built in 2018, the 12-metre x 9-metre Colorbond shed and workshop with power, water and wifi connectivity offers substantial space for vehicles, machinery and projects and adds to the property's appeal.

Of the approximately 50 acres, around 32 acres remain as beautiful native bushland, approximately three acres area cleared around the home, and a further 15 acres at the rear provide space for animals, cropping income, or simply a little more room to move.

375 Crockerup Road offers a rare opportunity to reap the rewards of off-grid living without disappearing off the map, with wineries and national parks on your doorstep and the coastline and attractions of Albany and Denmark all within 40 minutes.
