185 Glenroy Court, Hovea WA 6071

"KANGAROO LAKE RETREAT" - Get away to the Perth Hills with this rustic home. Set on a sprawling 11.5 acres, it's a haven for wildlife and offers the opportunity for you to have your very own secret forest retreat. This is a great option for those dreaming of a weekender without having to travel too far from the city - who needs a 'Down South' holiday home when you could create everything you've ever dreamed of 35 minutes away from the CBD? This property lends itself to otherwise scattered families gathering for parties and events, for couples wanting to recharge their batteries now and then or as a haven in retirement. The block is peaceful, private, and situated on the doorstep of John Forrest National Park, so serenity is guaranteed.

The house does require some work but presents as an opportunity to add your own personal touch with some tasteful renovation at your own pace. It is large though, with 2 mezzanines, high vaulted ceilings, and a huge fireplace to warm the whole building. For informal, barn-style gatherings it will do the trick and while you're knocking about in it on holidays, you can figure out what else you might like to do with it. Separately, you'll find a gazebo entertaining area with café blinds, a big powered workshop, and a below ground pool. With the property named 'Kangaroo Lake', you will not be surprised to find that there is indeed a winter lake on the block and the house overlooks it. With the promise of a bottle of red, a crackling fire, and the sweet songs of resident birds and frogs, cold weather has never been so appealing.

There is the potential for subdivision here (WAPC approval lapsed in March 2022), with so much space to play with. Or, if you wanted to keep the whole block to yourself - and who could blame you? This property is set at the end of a quiet country lane, abuts bush reserve and is largely thinned out bushland. There is lawn space and garden beds to be found, but if you're a fan of nature, you'll love nothing more than wandering amongst the trees and spotting kangaroos, birds, reptiles, and possums. An absolute gem of a spot, you'll almost want to keep this place a secret.
Nature beckons.
