Garden Valley York - A Private 100 Acre Estate Reminiscent Of Margaret River.
This private oasis is 1.5 hours from Perth City comprising 100 acres (40.45 ha). The property is eight minutes west from York Township in an area known as Garden Valley at the end of a private road. The Garden Valley area was originally developed as a market garden, supplying produce to Perth.
The land includes a winter stream, pond, boutique vineyard, six horse paddocks and 27ha of fertile soils suitable for cropping. The property extends to the top of the rear hill with extensive views over the valley. The owners have a special BBQ/Picnic area on top of the hill.
The property features a beautiful main character homestead with wrap around verandas, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, exquisite wooden floor boards, renovated kitchen and two bathrooms.
Next to the main house is a second residence with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Between both residences is a large games room that teenagers will approve of. At the front of the property is an in-ground pool area teasing for those hot summer days we all adore. To the side of the property is a large workshop/winery store room the envy of anyone dreaming of a man shed.
