Make your way down the long gravel driveway, past lush and gently undulating paddocks, to the homestead which has been set deep into the block for perfect privacy. The rammed earth home is set amongst the prettiest of cottage-style gardens which are abundant with flowering and rare-to find plants. Wide verandas wrap the home and the extensive use of impressive and rustic timber poles tie the residence to the natural surrounds. An arbour with historical grapes consist of top table grapes, Italia mainly, but also the historic Muscat from the old Perth Court House which flanks one side of the home and creates a perfectly shaded spot for summer entertaining.

Designed such that all spaces in the home have outlook to the gardens and light, the elegant floor plan of the home is complemented by soaring raked ceilings and the extensive use of impressive, yet rustic timber, creating a grand impression.
Minimalist matt-sealed concrete flooring feature throughout the home which comprises a large open plan family and dining room with a country kitchen at its hub. The kitchen is complete with dishwasher, free-standing Belling stove and a gorgeous ESSE wood stove with wet back system. A slow combustion wood fire keeps the entire home cosy and warm in the cooler months and the natural insulation provided by the rammed earth construction ensures summer comfort.

Accommodation in the home consists of two generous bedrooms, which are separated by a study or home office. They share the use of a bathroom with clawfoot bathtub. A Jarrah staircase provides access to a spacious mezzanine level which would make a fantastic second living area or another bedroom (or two!) should they be required.
A spacious laundry, second toilet and shower, two store rooms (one with a sink) complete the floor plan of the home.

Wander outside to explore the stunning gardens or harvest fruit from the plethora of fruit trees which include citrus, fig, sapote and stone fruit. Lucerne trees provide extra feed for stock, as well as being fire-resistant as are the extensive Carob trees to be found on the property. The quality solar bore, with 2 bore tanks, which produces potable water, keeps everything green and lush all year round and the investment of years of horticultural knowledge has resulted in a garden which is as pretty as it is resilient.

Set well away from the home is a massive shed with adjoining sheep and cattle holding yards and loading ramps. The paddocks number about a dozen, depending on configuration, and provide endless options for those wishing to raise stock or horses or a combination of both, with approximately 50% being arable land and the remaining consisting of a combination of beautiful Redgum and Jarrah woodlands.

The entire property is fully off-grid courtesy of a 5kW inverter PV system with 6.6 kw solar panels and 8 energy store batteries (with automatic watering system) and are housed in a separate shed closer to the residence. A diesel generator provides automatic back up power on the rare occasion it is required. Three (3) large water tanks provide year round fresh drinking water. A comprehensive fire protection system, including a stand alone tank with pump and generator and temperature activated rooftop sprinkler systems, provide peace of mind during the warmer months.
