A Quintessential Country Estate of Enduring Beauty - Sweeping 71 Acres - Panoramic Rural Vistas
Perched at the crest of its 71-acre holding to survey the rolling countryside like a changing of work of art, very rarely does a home tug at the heart strings like this carefully-crafted love letter to the weatherboard Federation Villas of yesteryear.
'Pear Tree Farm' is something special the moment you see its crisp white, gloriously symmetrical facade come into focus on a bore-fed, cattle-ready property with a view that never gets old and touches vineyards, Mount Bold, Kuitpo Forest, rolling storms and our famous sunsets.
This dual level home is just as arresting as the 180-degree view it serves from its rear 'Coolgardie'; a huge fully-enclosed pavilion framed in extensive glazing, blurring the lines between indoors and out - the crowd-pleasing exclamation mark on this 2015 Harkaway Homes creation.
The heated pool shimmers below as a reminder that summers are a thing of beauty on this fertile property with significant shedding, endless water, veggie gardens and a powerful solar/battery system that plugs you into a state of 'off-grid' bliss.
Look closer and you see why the little details count for everything…
From its ornate exterior detailing, American Oak floors, timber-framed sash windows, 3.8m vaulted ceilings and panelled walls to its custom joinery and Carey Gully feature stone, this ode to a bygone era is as authentic as it gets.
The undoubted star: a shaker-style open-plan kitchen with jarrah tops, walk-in pantry and a black Belling 90cm vintage-style cooker with three ovens.
The bathrooms - featuring vintage chrome tapware and bevelled subway tiles - follow the same timeless theme in a home with a forward-thinking layout that gives the kids a huge upper level retreat.
Every bedroom - including your ensuited main - offers a soothing view and exclusive access to its slice of the 200sqm of decking that wraps the home.
Step out and take a moment to truly appreciate a property with designated grazing paddocks, four entry points, some of the most fertile soil you'll find and a history of hosting magical wedding ceremonies in its rolling lawns. We're in love.
