Perched against the backdrop of Kalamunda National Park, a world away from the city below, lies a sanctuary like no other. Here, at the threshold where nature meets built form, stands a six-bedroom, five-bathroom home not built, but sculpted to exist in harmony with the land itself. This much-loved property is so much more than just a place to reside; it is a space immersed in the natural energy of its surroundings, a place of balance and one of belonging.
Moments from Kalamunda township, pulling into the driveway at 66 Spring Road, a deep sense of calm takes hold. It is not just the clean hilltop air or the dense forest that surrounds the home-it's something deeper, something ancient, something crafted by careful hands and reverent minds.
Stepping across the foot bridge towards the home, a timber archway with the words 'Shangri La' welcomes both residents and visitors alike. A magical entrance to a home bound by a natural spring stream on one side and the incredible beauty of the national park on the other. The first sound you notice is the gentle murmur of water. A natural spring stream, a rare treasure in this part of the world, flows serenely through the property, winding its way through the landscape. A forest green timber bridge spans the stream, connecting the outer world with the inner sanctuary of the home.
Its accommodation has been adapted to allow a superb flexibility of living. Zoned, light filled living spaces, versatile bedroom configuration and clever separation of internal areas allow an unusual level of privacy for those living at the home. Nurturing the delicate flow of chi, the life force energy which runs through all things, the residence enjoys a tranquillity rarely found in today's homes.
Whilst offering multiple private bedrooms, the central indoor kitchen, dining and living space create an inviting communal space to connect. Timber interiors dominate the open plan room with an impressive, raked ceiling, natural brickwork, and slate tiling underfoot. Wide full sized timber framed windows allow ambient light deep into the area, while its central kitchen provides the perfect space for family gatherings. A pot belly fireplace anchors the lower room, not just as a source of warmth but as a symbolic hearth, a gathering place where stories are shared and memories made.
From this central space, large sliding doors open onto an expansive timber deck, offering uninterrupted views of the stream and the forest beyond. Never far from natures embrace, the connection to the landscape is clear. Its wrap around decking and balconies enjoy an elevated outlook through the tree canopy down to the natural stream below.
Built into the land, the house does not dominate its surroundings; rather, it compliments it. The lines of the structure are soft and deliberate, mirroring the form of the hills and trees beyond its windows. From the outside, it appears part of the landscape, a hidden temple in the wilderness.

As asphalt gives way to the textured earth and the bushland thickens, this is a unique property with a special connection to its surroundings. The home appears slowly, not announcing itself but blending with the landscape-a creation that seems to have risen organically from the ground rather than being placed upon it. Here life moves as it should: in harmony, in balance, and always with grace. To discuss this exciting opportunity further contact John Harun on 0408 630 129.
