This picturesque country estate of 2ha (5 acres) will have terrific appeal for people aspiring to a life on the land – it’s a perfect introduction to hobby farming.
The property stands out from most smallholdings as it has two modern homes, so owners can live in one and use the second one as a granny flat or studio.
This flexibility extends to the land. It is fenced into three lush, grassy paddocks, suitable for running sheep or grazing horses. Mature gums at the boundary have been retained for shelter and there’s abundant water from two rainwater tanks and a dam.
Overlooking the front paddock, the main home is spacious and comfortable. It has three living areas – an air-conditioned open family room, an adjoining games room and a wide back veranda, ideal for barbecues and sheltered outdoor entertaining.
With a pantry, electric cooking and good cabinetry, the kitchen is a sunny workspace with an outlook over the property at the back.
The four bedrooms are all doubles fitted with good carpet, and the bathroom has a bath, walk-in shower and vanity.
Outside, there’s a double-length carport adjoining the house and a separate, freestanding powered double garage/workshop. There’s also plenty of scope for building big sheds.
Sited further back on the block and well away from the main home, the self-contained second residence presents numerous options.
This is a delightful home with an open-plan living area, consisting of an air-conditioned lounge and dining space with the kitchen at one end. This also has a wide veranda for use as a patio, and a single carport.
Of the two bedrooms, one is a double and one a big single and both have built-in robes. The shower room is reached via the laundry, which also accesses the separate toilet.
Everything in both homes is in good order and they have been well maintained.
About 15 minutes’ drive from Albany, this is a beautifully established estate with excellent prospects for families yearning for rural life with easy access to the city.
