Boasting a location in one of the most picturesque and loved locales in the Southern Hills, this oasis awaits discerning new owners seeking very rare sizable acreage - just under 10 acres. Featuring the cool flowing water and soothing sounds of the Canning River just outside the boundary, this incredible property offers privacy, rich loamy soil, livestock paddocks, beautiful ponds and lake, plus a very stylish five-bedroom rammed earth homestead that subtly blends into the rolling hills and surrounds.
This idyllic lifestyle presents a haven of serenity that will enhance your every day by being immersed amongst luscious flora, a variety of fauna and birdsong.
A winding 'no through road' that passes over the Canning River introduces you to the entrance of "River Valley Retreat".
Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a long winding driveway that escorts you past the stock paddocks and the many treasured nooks - where romantic bench seats are strategically placed to capture the winter/spring meandering waterways - all the way to the heart of this tranquil estate. This journey is truly like a crescendo at the end of a symphony where you begin to understand the sheer scale and rich history of this ultimate escape that the current owners have created.
Relaxation and recovery are nurtured amongst the acres of luscious lawns that surround the ponds bordered with wildflowers - often with ducks and ducklings present - and established gardens; also perfect for children's nature-based play.
Wandering these gardens, you begin to grasp the sheer scale of this property which feels so much bigger than the "just under" 10-acre size due to the grand valley surrounds and the Canning River located nearby.
The Homestead is divine, with thick rammed earth walls offering the perfect year-round insulation, warmed by both a slow combustion fireplace and romantic open fireplace. Presenting multiple separate living areas, the exquisite timber window and door frames, earthy timber bench tops in the kitchen that overlooks the property, and a huge master bedroom suite completes this family haven.
Entertainment options are limitless. How about a picnic in the stunning gardens that mirror the renowned Araluen Botanic Park? Or perhaps enjoying long summer evenings with friends around the sparkling swimming pool and alfresco that showcases glorious valley views? Or my favourite, sharing a wine and cheese sundowner under the olive grove overlooking breathtaking river views.
