The Faraway Treehouse
END DATE SALE: All offers presented by 6pm Monday 1st August 2022 unless sold prior.
Once upon a time (right now) there is a home filled with magic. In this home, if you feel a little overwhelmed by the hustle of life, you only have to choose which window to gaze out of to soak up the rolling hills as far as your eyes can see. If you feel a little uninspired, you only have to walk out to one of the private decks at sunset and see the sky put on a show only nature can provide. Need quiet time? There's the downstairs lounge with an expansive built-in bookcase, cosy electric log fire, and views to the East through the double doors to the ground floor deck. Want the sparkle of laughter and promise of long conversations from the people you love? The exquisite kitchen is roomy enough for plenty of sous chefs, is adjacent to the amazing family area, has absolute birds eye views to forever, and access directly to the glorious entertaining area for spring days and summer evenings.
And when you're ready to dream new dreams, retreat to your top floor where the main bedroom features soaring raked ceilings, amplifying the expansive views. Your recently renovated ensuite is waiting with its huge shower and double vanity and if you work from home, you'll love the serenity the large 4th bedroom - also on this floor - delivers with its stunning views to the East and all the mod cons, including reverse cycle air conditioning for when it really warms up. Children can find their own spaces here, with the 2nd and 3rd bedroom on the 1st and 2nd floors. Bedroom 3 also has double doors leading to the rear garden.

Pick your own fruit during the season and make good use of the veggie patches, and come summer, you'll be hard pressed to get the kids out of the sparkling pool. A workshop and extra storage provide places for all the family stuff and there's your own private cellar under the main floors. Located in beautiful Boya where you can pop to next-door Darlington and visit the winery or cafes or scoot down the Hill to Midland in less than 10 minutes flat, the magic of this house means you'll still feel worlds away whenever you need to.
The Faraway Treehouse is the one adventure you'll forever thank yourself for choosing.

Boya overview
To supply the stone required to build the groynes at Fremantle Harbour, a Government quarry was established in the hills a little south-west of Darlington. A spur line was run into the quarry from the existing railway and, by July 1901, dozens of iron and hessian huts housing approximately 150 workmen were clustered near the site. In August of 1901, construction began on a railway siding for the use of this settlement and the first name proposed was "Yan-Yeen". This was rejected because of a duplication in Victoria and the Aboriginal word "Boya", appropriately meaning rock/stone, was chosen instead. It was later found that the correct Aboriginal name for the area was "Nyeedoup" but Boya remains appropriate as the Aboriginal sub-tribe who once inhabited the hills were known as "Boya-Ngoora".
