What the owner says…...
"This is the kind of home that you make memories in. We have had many great times here, including our own children being married here and other functions. It is a special place, and everyone who visits is amazed by the infrastructure that is in place for all types of functions, including parking for up to 100 vehicles. Just simply enjoying the serenity of the property being surrounded by nature, and being absolute riverfront is hard to describe. We can even launch our boat straight into the river and of course, have front-row seats for the annual Avon Descent. It is time to turn it over to someone to make new memories."

THE GROUNDS and GARDENS
Every inch of the 11 acres of prime Swan River land has been carefully considered resulting in amazing outdoor spaces and gardens that will only get more beautiful with time.

The landscaped gardens have been transformed from endless paddocks into lush, leafy, manicured gardens and sweeping lawns. The established trees, walkways and patios shaded with ornamental vines offer endless opportunities to celebrate and enjoy the surrounding nature.

Tucked away with views to the river's edge is a 25m long ornamental grapevine trellis to a romantic, octagon-shaped wedding/function gazebo (9m x 9m), comprised of eight columns and LED lighting, creating the perfect ambience to celebrate any occasion.

A timber-lined outdoor alfresco-entertaining area with a ceiling fan and built-in seating overlooks the gardens beyond, and a large enclosed balcony on the second storey feels like living up in the treetops, offering another airy space to sit back, relax and unwind. Double doors off here extend to a smaller, open second-storey courtyard.

The barbecue pavilion is a tranquil covered space with a Ferguson stainless-steel barbecue, a wood-fired pizza oven, granite bench tops, Jarrah doors, terracotta flooring, full lighting, an exhaust hood, a vented roof and side louvres for crossflow ventilation.

WORKSHOPS and SHEDS
You will also love the massive workshop/shed (23m x 12m) - 276sqm. 4.2m high walls, 6 metres to gable, three phase power, two mezzanine floors, an office unit with Jarrah Cabinetry, a built-in bar with Jarrah/marri wooden flooring, a solid jarrah bar top, a feature pressed - aluminium ceiling, a twin door scope fridge, an under-bench oven and a single sink and you have what is pretty much every trade persons dream.

At the opposite end of the workshop is a separate 12m x 12m (144sqm) Function/party room, constructed to potentially host weddings, birthday parties and any other function the heart desires, again without overstating the case, the car collector or business minded buyer would find ample space for every dream the heart desires.

Both the above sheds are linked with a 12m x 5m breezeway under the main roof.

With Liquid-limestone floor, dado limestone walls, feature wheels and electric roller doors on each side, it is suitable for more outdoor living and functions, or for storage for boat or caravan.

Separate from the above is the agricultural shed 16m x 6m (96sqm) 3.2m high is perfect for storing your equipment and tools with built in shelving and bench area with access via 3 electric roller doors.
