A picturesque, 40 acre property, set in the peaceful rolling hills just outside the village of Balingup, in an area of the South West renowned for its beauty, its festivals and cultural events.

This expansive property includes a completely renovated farmhouse with wide verandas back and front, surrounded by lush lawns and beautiful gardens, and a separate, self-contained cottage - perfect for accommodating relatives and friends - or, as is currently the case, earning additional income through hosting short-stay accommodation with our listing on Stayz & Airbnb! Both home & cottage have 8 solar panels (16 in total / 3.2kW) cutting your carbon consumption.

MAIN HOUSE
A wonderful melding of old and new, this immaculate, beautifully renovated home is well equipped to provide relaxed, comfortable living to match the serenity of its surrounds. Boasting a long list of modern conveniences and updates added along the way - all the while, paying special tribute to the original charms and character of its era.
Accommodation consists of 3 generous bedrooms and a sewing room or office; one and a half bathrooms and a laundry. Bright, open plan kitchen, dining and lounge with abundant natural light trickling in through huge windows and French doors opening onto the verandas.

SELF-CONTAINED COTTAGE
This charming cottage sits independently, surrounded by its own immaculate gardens. Comprising one bedroom, a bathroom, kitchenette and lounge, opening to an elevated veranda with garden views. Currently, the cottage hosts short-stay accommodation at $165p/n - and unsurprisingly, comes with a fantastic reputation and a 5 star rating!

A fantastic opportunity to earn additional income - if you so generously wish to share this piece of paradise with others - and if not, it could easily lend itself as a studio, a granny flat or running a small business from the confines of home-sweet-home!

WESTLINGTON BROOK - 40 ESTABLISHED ACRES (FORMERLY A BOUTIQUE WINERY)
Separated into several paddocks and an orchard with an array of vegetables, fruit and nut trees, and vineyards, winery equipment/infrastructure.
Sheep and cattle pens, complete with a flock of sheep and an alpaca! Large shedding and lockable tool shed.
3 dams and abundant water supply with two freshwater spring-fed soaks (utilised for reticulation), 160,000 litre rainwater tank capacity and the Westlington Brook runs through the property most of the year. Postcard-worthy beautiful!

Aptly named Westlington Brook, the property was previously run as a boutique winery until a few years ago. There remains 4 rows of 10 year old Sauvignon Blanc vines and 6 rows of 20 year old Shiraz vines, all fenced and well maintained, providing ample grapes for domestic winemaking.

All winery equipment and infrastructure remains onsite for both red and white winemaking. This includes an insulated, air-conditioned winery and a large cool room.

This is truly a beautiful property perfect for a complete tree-change, lifestyle overhaul!

Located within a few minutes drive of a large timber mill and the Greenbushes Lithium mine, which is currently undergoing massive expansion due to increasing trends of battery operated/driverless vehicles. 1 hour drive to Bunbury and less than 30 minutes to both Donnybrook and Bridgetown.
