If you have ever wondered what an Australian rural paradise might look like, then look no further...
From the moment you arrive at the automatic timber gates, you will know that you are visiting a special property. The driveway winds attractively across the undulating landscape, between olive trees set in hand laid rock bases, towards a stand of native trees and buildings.
Continue on past the trees and the home appears, nestled next to a citrus and stone fruit orchard, in a private valley overlooking a large, landscaped dam.
The dam has formed a lake from a creekline that originates on the property, guaranteeing excellent water.
To the west of the house and dam is around 50ha of pristine undulating bush, with Karri, Marri and Jarrahs, granite and creekline features. To the west of that again is 26ha of bush reserve, so there is ample protection from strong winter winds.
The eastern 38ha is a mix of cleared and parkland cleared grazing land, featuring some beautiful young and old Karri, Jarrah, Redgum and Blackbutt trees, and contains the house and other improvements.
The home sits in the valley just to the south of the dam and features lots of north facing glass capturing both the view and the winter sun. There are high vaulted ceilings through the kitchen living and dining area, and beautiful polished jarrah floors and doorframes throughout. All timber has been sourced from the property.
The kitchen is a delight, with granite bench tops, custom jarrah cabinets, an Ilve Stainless Steel 6 burner, double oven gas stove and rangehood, a Miele dishwasher, and view over the dam.
Granite from the property forms a big fireplace containing a Heat?n?Glo gas log fire which warms the living area, while there is a Daikin reverse cycle for fine adjustments to temperature. The double brick walls have Aircell Retroshield insulation, and hot water is courtesy of an Apricus Evacuated Tube solar system.
The main bedroom also has lots of glass overlooking the dam and the bush to the west. The ensuite is stunning with floor to ceiling tiles.
A second bedroom has its own ensuite at the far end of the home, and there are other guest accommodation options on the property.
Ceilings are raised to 31 courses throughout, and there is direct access to secure parking in the double garage.
There are LED uplights around the dam and throughout the trees near the house, creating a stunning evening atmosphere.
Leaving the house, we walk back along the winding footpath to the trees and sheds.
The first shed is massive at 28m x 17m, and extra high. There are 24 solar panels on the roof, connected to a 4kw Gronius inverter wired for genset backup. (Current Hatz genset not included in price). Goodbye summer power bills! The entire shed is in pristine as new condition. Enter through the personal door and you find a huge open space with a clean, painted concrete floor (reinforced to take machines up to 60 tonnes). At the rear is a two storey structure inside the shed with insulated and air conditioned extra bedrooms, a balcony, and a controlled temperature store. Work benches run along the north side of the shed. Three massive lights provide ample illumination, and there is a security system.
Across a gravelled courtyard is the second shed. Also huge at 28m x 12m and extra high, it has huge sliding doors, power and lights. Half the shed has an extra thick concrete floor, the other half is dirt for tracked machinery storage.
There are 3 more assorted smaller sheds, all in similarly excellent condition, some with power and concrete floors.
Tille and Lantzke describe the soils and topography as consistent with the Glenarty Hills land system, which covers 105 square kilometres on the southern section of the Margaret River plateau and overlapping the Blackwood plateau. Landscape is further described as Glenarty wet valleys, Glenarty slopes, and to the west, the bush is described as Glenarty rock outcrop, being areas dominated by Granitic outcrops.
Fences are all in excellent condition, the coast is only a few minutes away, and it?s just an awesome property!
Plant and machinery is also available subject to negotiation separately.
