Privately tucked away amid 45 acres (approx.) of peaceful, natural bushland, this substantial family home was clearly built with quality, scale and position in mind. Offering beautiful views across Princess Royal Harbour to Albany Port, the residence presents a rare opportunity to revive an impressive home in an exceptional setting.
The bones are good, the position is exceptional, and the potential is considerable.
Multiple living zones provide plenty of space and flexibility for family life and entertaining. The spacious lounge room captures the harbour outlook and sunny north-easterly orientation, while a separate theatre/TV room provides a quiet retreat.
An additional open-plan living area, complete with a small wood fire, connects the living spaces to the bedroom wing, with doors opening directly onto the verandah and secluded, walled lawn surrounding the home.
The solid timber kitchen with granite benchtops reflects the quality of the home's era. Still highly functional, it sits conveniently alongside the dining area and enjoys the harbour outlook, providing an excellent foundation for a future transformation.
Three minor bedrooms are grouped together on the ground floor, conveniently positioned alongside the family bathroom.
Upstairs, the master suite is a standout. Expansive windows capture beautiful views across the property towards the harbour, with water and city views providing a spectacular outlook. A light-filled ensuite and walk-in robe complete the suite.
Outside, the property continues to impress. A double garage and additional carport provide excellent vehicle accommodation, while the gated entry and established walls surrounding the immediate lawn and yard create a wonderful sense of privacy and arrival.
It's all here, it just needs to be rejuvenated.
Much like the home, the land itself is a rare opportunity. With 18.21ha extending all the way from the road to the high-water mark, and less than 20 minutes from town, it offers an extraordinary combination of scale, privacy and waterfront access. Having remained largely untouched for many years, the property retains a wonderfully natural character, with established timber and native vegetation extending right through to the water's edge.
Ideally positioned close to Princess Royal Sailing Club, the boat ramp and some of the region's best beaches, this is a truly special opportunity to secure a substantial holding in one of Big Grove's most desirable settings and create something remarkable from what is already here.
