Breathtaking Bushland Hideaway!

Neither space nor tranquillity will ever be at a premium as far as this stunning five-acre property is concerned, deservedly fitting of its place in a secluded cul-de-sac pocket of Lesmurdie, directly opposite the picturesque outskirts of the Korung National Park and boasting an expansive 5 bedroom 2 bathroom family home, as well as a self-contained 2x1 "granny flat" and a massive powered workshop shed for the budding tradesman of the house.


The main residence itself plays host to a separate sleeping quarters with five, huge, king-sized bedrooms - inclusive of a giant master retreat that is light and bright, has a ceiling fan and make-up nook, extends out to a lovely rear verandah overlooking a dam at the back of the acreage, features separate "his and hers" walk-in wardrobes and possesses an intimate ensuite bathroom with a shower, toilet and vanity. As a bonus, there are spectacular bush views from virtually every single window - no matter where you are.

There are separate theatre and family rooms for you to indulge in - the latter pleasantly overlooked by a raised kitchen and dining area that defines modern class and sophistication. There is a main study off the entry, as well as two further "offices" that can be converted into either sitting rooms, gyms or activity rooms - depending on your personal needs. Externally, you will find a fabulous standalone entertaining gazebo and deck, a shimmering outdoor swimming pool and spa and a full-size floodlit tennis court for those wanting to have a hit.

The granny flat is perfect for Airbnb and short-term accommodation-lovers, seeking to earn a little bit of extra rental income. It is also ideal for extended families of multiple generations, with its own open-plan living space and patio. An endless array of garage and carport parking options is complemented by the "tradie's dream" of a shed that is large enough for a boat, truck, tractor, caravan or trailer - you name it. This one has it all.

You are never far removed from the convenience of everyday amenities no matter where you are in beautiful Lesmurdie, with Lesmurdie Senior High School and Mazenod College both nearby, along with bus stops, sprawling Ray Owen Reserve sporting facilities, Lesmurdie Primary School, shops, Lesmurdie Falls National Park, St Brigid's College, the Kalamunda Christian School, major arterial roads and the heart of Kalamunda's famous town centre.

Lesmurdie overview

Like Kalamunda, the development of the "Lesmurdie" area is closely tied to the exploitation of the Jarrah forest in the region by the Canning Jarrah Timber Company Ltd. In 1897, Mr Archibald Sanderson, a Perth journalist commenced the acquisition of a number of these properties, with a view to building up a "rural retreat" and he named his property "Lesmurdie". Lesmurdie Cottage was a shooting-box in Banffshire, Scotland, near Dufftown and was let to Mr Sanderson's father for shooting. It was in memory of this cottage that Sanderson applied the name to his property.

Life in Lesmurdie
