Sold by Team Miles Walton - Acton | Belle Property

For the first time in more than 70 years, one of the Murray River's most tightly held rural estates has become available - a remarkable 240-acre property steeped in history, productivity, and natural beauty.

Home to 3 generations of the same pioneering family and the legendary pacer Mount Eden, this exceptional rural holding now invites its next custodian to continue their own story on this prized parcel of riverfront property.

The homestead:
Set privately back from the road behind sweeping lawns and mature shade trees, the residence is a quintessential country home of generous scale and enduring charm.
Constructed in solid double brick with jarrah floors and wrap-around verandahs, its timeless character reflects the craftsmanship of its era.

Inside, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms offer abundant space for family and guests, while multiple living zones provide relaxed comfort and room to entertain. Offering over 300sqm of internal living area there's a great degree of versatility and liveability with so much room to cater to large family requirements.

Country living is at its finest here - cosy winters beside the wood-fires, wide verandahs that open onto gardens at either end of the home, and a sparkling pool for long summer afternoons with family under the patio for a barbecue. Every element has been designed for practicality, warmth, and longevity - the hallmarks of a true working homestead.

The land:
Spanning approximately 240 acres (97.3 ha) of fertile alluvial soils, the property is level, productive, and magnificently positioned on the banks of the Murray River.

Sheltered pockets of native trees provide shade and windbreaks across open pastures that have supported generations of cropping and grazing. Paddocks have been divided with a central laneway running the full depth of the property from the highway to the dairy and yards by the river.

The land's deep history is tangible - this is where Mount Eden, one of Australia's most celebrated pacers, was raised and trained, his legend inseparable from this soil.
Alluring and picturesque - this riverfront setting is as beautiful as it is functional: a serene landscape of rolling greens and reflective water, ideal for grazing or continued farming pursuits, with enormous scope for future generational vision.

Infrastructure & improvements:
Supporting the residence is a suite of practical infrastructure befitting a working rural enterprise.

A 5-bay, approximately 19m x 15 m machinery and hay shed with high clearance provides ample storage and workspace, while the original brick dairy near the river stands as both a nostalgic reminder and a potential opportunity for conversion into ancillary accommodation or studio use.

Steel cattle yards, loading ramp, and water troughs complement the improved paddocks currently established in pasture and long-utilised for hay production and grazing.

Rainwater tanks service the home, with a bore available for stock water and irrigation supply. Access is straightforward via both a crossover fronting South Western Highway and two entries from Blake Road, ensuring efficiency for daily operations.

Lifestyle & location:
Beyond its productivity and legacy, this farm offers a lifestyle defined by privacy and tranquillity yet remarkable convenience. From the gate it's approximately 10 minutes to Pinjarra, 25 minutes to Mandurah, and just over an hour to Perth CBD.

The perfect harmony of accessibility and escape.

What next!?
Landholdings of this scale, location, and provenance are exceedingly rare and almost never change hands.
This landmark rural property stands as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure not just a property, but a genuine piece of Western Australia's best dirt with an extraordinary legacy.
