104 Beach Road, Chittering WA 6084

Tired of the rat race And dull suburban life and noisy nosy neighbours and endless toil and strife
Escape to tranquil forest On the doorstep of the city escape to bird-filled greenness so peaceful and so pretty
Live in country comfort live life to the full meet your wildlife neighbours and know your cup is full
How often can you find an affordable forest retreat within an hour from the airport and 50 minutes from Joondalup? The answer is not often and of the quality of this particular property, never?

This 110 acre forest retreat has it all. The large ridge-top house has spectacular views across the jarrah and wandoo forest which is continuous with the Julimar Forest to the north and the Avon Valley National Park to the South.

Granite outcrops of incredible biodiversity blaze with native colour in the spring and the spring-fed creek flows all year. The two story gazebo perched in the forest above the dam provides a wonderful outlook down the creek and into the bird-filled canopy.

The bird life includes endangered Carnaby?s White Tailed Black Cockatoos which nest in the hollows of the ancient wandoo trees which dot the property. Mammal life is also abundant with echidnas, quolls (or Chuditch) and brush-tailed wallabies seen almost daily and kangaroos and emus common.

There is a 30 m2 shed and a granny flat in the parkland cleared ridgetop and a large enclosed chook-pen. The house has many eco-features including solar hot water passive solar design and a biolytix waste-water treatment facility which irrigates a small orchard and vegetable patch.

The 170,000 L rainwater tanks provide ample fresh-water throughout the year. Forest living is great! Enjoy the Splendid Blue Wrens as they wash in the bird-bath or simply sit on the veranda with a wine and watch the sun set down the valley to the west.

And for those cold rainy winter nights there is the fire ?top stew and red wine next to the cosy log fire and the view through the picture windows of the rain in the eye-level treetops.

The property is close enough for a daily commute to the central city and the owner has been doing this for the past 5 years. But closer at hand is Bindoon, which is about 20 minutes to the north and Toodyay, about 25 minutes to the east. And closer still are the restaurants and wineries of the Chittering Valley.

This property lends itself to a permanent residence or a weekend retreat. Welcome to the good life!

Thank you for your visit.
