We found the ultimate Father’s Day property wish list 

Father’s Day is this weekend, and some dads are easier to buy for than others.

So instead of another gift guide, we went looking at homes with features that might appeal to every kind of dad or father figure, whether that means a huge shed, a golf simulator, a private jetty or a seriously impressive home bar.

Some are practical, some are indulgent and a few are pure wish-list material.

For the dad with a project on the go

13 Butcher Road, Darling Downs | Open to offers

Forget a garden shed. This one measures about 20m x 9m and comes with three-phase power, four roller doors, two mezzanines and a two-post vehicle hoist. Add plenty of room for cars, tools and weekend projects, and Dad may never come back inside.

For the dad who wants to perfect his swing 

623/3 Airlie Street, Claremont | Offers above $2.699 million 

Rain, hail or shine, Dad can work on his golf game without leaving home. Residents of The Grove have access to a golf simulator, along with a 30m heated pool, gym, sauna, steam room and rooftop terrace. Not a bad way to spend Father’s Day.

For the dad who’d rather be on the water 

59/18 Port Quays, Wannanup | Offers

With 20.7m of canal frontage and a large private jetty right at the back door, this one is made for boating dads. Morning cruise, afternoon fish or sunset drinks by the water, the hardest part might be convincing Dad to come back inside. 

For the dad who has an app for everything 

35A Windelya Road, Kardinya | $1,299,000 

Lights, air conditioning and even the garage can all be controlled from a wall-mounted tablet or phone app. Add solar panels with battery storage, a theatre room and a built-in bar fridge, and this Kardinya home has plenty of tech Dad can actually use. 

For the dad who likes to dress the part 

5 Curl Court, Kallaroo | By appointment 

If Dad’s wardrobe is starting to rival Mum’s, this could be his dream setup. The master suite includes a large dressing room with sleek dark cabinetry, glass-fronted storage and enough space to give every suit, shirt and pair of shoes its own place. 

For the dad whose home office means business 

138 Dalkeith Road, Nedlands | Contact agent 

Working from home looks a little different here. This elegant office comes with soaring windows, timber detailing and its own fireplace, creating a workspace that feels more private club than spare bedroom. Even Monday mornings might be easier to face from here. 

For the dad who never skips a workout 

29 City Vista, Kalamunda | EOI in the $6 millions

No gym membership required here. This Kalamunda home comes with a dedicated wellness wing featuring a fully equipped gym, steam room, ice bath and yoga space. There’s even a 20m lap pool outside, so Dad can fit in a full workout without leaving home. With a setup like that, it’s little wonder this one is already under offer. 

For the dad who takes happy hour seriously

147 Wellington Street, Mosman Park | Offers

This is happy hour with a serious upgrade. The cocktail bar pairs a backlit onyx wall with an integrated barbecue and TV, then opens straight onto the pool terrace with sweeping Swan River views. There’s also a glass-walled wine cellar and saltwater aquarium for good measure.
