A Rare Legacy Estate with Private River Frontage

Orondo: A life in full bloom. A harmony of tireless horticulture, ancient Jarrah microclimate and a spine of natural prosperity from the Murray River, Orondo represents a symphony of natural wonderland and architectural romance.

Spanning over 193 acres and approximately 657 metres of Murray River frontage, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure riverfront property of this scale. Spanning over 2 Titles - The Farm and The Garden Residence, complement each other effortlessly. You enter the property through The Farm, creating sense of both scale and separation. The road is a gentle ribbon through the landscape to the main home, where you are spirited away through a riot of colours, being met with both rare and stunning flora, a dam, pool, rolling lawns and treetop hills, all within the aspect of the North facing living room, sitting proud atop a natural gradient.

The house is architectural, a combination of rammed earth and panoramic floor to ceiling glass. Fit for a family, the 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom dwelling is perfect for both permanent residence or a holiday escape only 80 minutes from the city. In addition, there is a 3,000+ bottle subterranean cellar. The throw of the lighting echoes that of a cathedral, creating a wonderful sense of drama.

The grounds surrounding the home are one of kind. With one of, if not the most biodiverse gardens on private property in all of Australia. Tours come from far and wide just to experience this natural wonderland, taking full advantage of the ideal microclimate Dwellingup presents. With careful curation, the owners have ensured that no matter the time of year, there are always flowers in bloom across the circa 12 acres. This also leads down a scenic path to a beach landing on the Murray River, where canoeing or quiet contemplation amongst the chorus of song birds can be enjoyed.

In addition to the main house, there is also a 4 bedroom lake house, a 3 bedroom cottage, plus individual farm, garden and pump sheds.

Most important to the operation of the property are the 4 dams spread throughout. There are the 2 smaller dams surrounding the Gate House and the Cottage - both approximately 5 megalitres. The White Dam is approximately 150 megalitres and a lake with a capacity of circa 340 megalitres.

The farm is currently used for cattle steering, however it has a rich history of being a vineyard and orchard over 150 acres. Appropriate fencing and yardage has been built and has all required plant and equipment.

Dwellingup overview

Dwellingup is located in a timber and fruitgrowing area in the Darling Range ESE of Pinjarra. Townsite lots were surveyed at this place by Surveyor W.F. Rudall in 1909 after the Lands Department became aware that the site was planned as the terminus of the "Pinjarra-Marrinup Railway". Names suggested for the place by Rudall were "Dwellingerup" or "Marrinup", after nearby brooks, or "McLarty" after a local MLA who had been very active concerning the railway. Surveyor General H.F. Johnston chose "Dwellingupp" after being misinformed regarding the spelling of Dwellingerup Brook. Ignoring a suggestion from the Under Secretary to amend the name to "Dwellingdown", the Minister for Lands approved the name as "Dwellingup" in December 1909. Eventually, the spelling "Dwellingupp" was chosen by order of the Under Secretary for Lands, and the townsite was gazetted as Dwellingupp in February 1910. The spelling was amended to Dwellingup in 1915. Dwellingup is an Aboriginal name said to mean "place of nearby water". The town was burnt out by a bushfire in 1961 but was rebuilt.

The double 'p' spelling in the original gazettal of this name was used because the Lands and Surveys Department had adopted a system for spelling Aboriginal names developed by the Royal Geographical Society. A number of Aboriginal names ending in "up" were for a time spelt with the "upp" ending (including Kirupp, Kulikupp, Manjimupp and Mungalupp). The RGS system had a rule that vowels are pronounced as in Italian and consonants as in English. This would have meant that names ending in "up" should have been pronounced as "oop", because the Italian "u" was a long "u", as in flute. These Aboriginal names were meant to be pronounced as "up", and the Department asked the RGS for a rule to assist in correct pronunciation. The RGS solution was that doubling the following consonant shortened the preceding vowel, and this meant the "upp" ending ensured the "up" pronunciation. However, this particular rule was rescinded in 1915 for SW towns with the suffix "up", as the Australian way of pronouncing the letter "u" was almost always short, and rarely the Italian "oo".
