875 Frenchman Bay Road, Big Grove WA 6330

A Private Waterfront Retreat

Set on an expansive 23.65 acre holding in Big Grove, this substantial single-level residence offers a rare combination of privacy, space and waterfront reserve frontage. Surrounded by native bushland and positioned with a broad stretch of harbour frontage, the property feels wonderfully secluded while remaining within easy reach of the Albany CBD.

With sweeping views to the North across the water, the landscape becomes an integral part of everyday life. As evening falls, the outlook takes on an entirely different character, with the harbour and city lights creating a beautiful backdrop from the home.

The residence, originally constructed in the late 1980s and subsequently modified, presents an opportunity to recapture the glory, or substantially re-build in your own style. The home and grounds have been neglected and need work, but there is no doubting the substantial appeal due to the property's size, location, privacy and views.

Approached through a welcoming entry courtyard, the classic white-on-white aesthetic is complemented by stately column detailing and generous proportions throughout the open-plan living area.

Extensive glazing draws the surrounding landscape indoors, framing views across expansive lawns and established Karri, Jarrah and Peppermint trees. The generous living spaces provide plenty of room for entertaining and flow seamlessly to a covered alfresco area beside the small below-ground plunge pool (no warranty on working order).

The master suite enjoys an outlook of its own. Generously proportioned, it features a large ensuite and extensive glazing overlooking the pool, creating a relaxed retreat with a distinct resort-like feel.

The opposite wing of the residence offers exceptional flexibility and could readily accommodate extended family, guests or independent living. With its own separate access, this section includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, living area and small kitchen, allowing it to function as a largely self-contained space, family or guest wing, while maintaining privacy between the two areas of the home.

The underlying attributes of this property are exceptional, but as noted above, both the residence and grounds are now in need of some TLC. The home would benefit from a considered renovation, while the surrounding grounds, outbuildings and driveway require attention to restore them to their full potential.

Outside, the scale and natural beauty of the property are the real drawcard. The substantial harbour reserve frontage provides direct access to the water and endless opportunities to enjoy this unique coastal environment - launch a dinghy or kayak, cast a line, explore the shoreline or simply take in the ever-changing outlook.

A rare combination of acreage, waterfront access, privacy and substantial accommodation, this is a property that offers a genuine sense of escape while remaining remarkably close to Albany.
