CURLEW ESTATE
Have you ever dreamt of country living surrounded by nature and enjoying a low-energy consuming lifestyle?
Curlew Estate has all of this and more. This is a very special property offering 174 acres of pasture and bush along with a luxurious homestead, loads of infrastructure and potential to create an income.
As you enter the property you drive through the remote-controlled gates and along the tree-lined driveway towards the home. The original part of the homestead was built in the 1940's and has been extended and renovated. California Bungalow style piers support the front and side verandas, and leadlight doors lead from the formal lounge area. From the verandahs you can sit and enjoy the views across the valley, the vineyard or to the garden.
The new front entrance to the home is through another set of beautifully crafted gates that open to a lovely South facing garden. Beyond the front doors is a gallery style hall which leads up to a large sunroom overlooking the vineyard and garden. In this wing there are two double bedrooms and one enormous master bedroom, all have storage, luxurious carpet and French doors that lead to one of the verandahs. A family bathroom and toilet supports this wing of the house.
Back down to the entrance hall is an office (or sixth bedroom) an array of linen cupboards and access to the kitchen area. Just one of the many features of this home is the huge kitchen bench which measures 1.5 x 4.5m and has been crafted from timber felled on the property. This bench has storage at each end and sitting areas in the middle. Other features in the kitchen include a built-in microwave, dual ovens (one steam/convection and the other convection), gas hotplate, overhead cupboards and 6 pantry storage cupboards. The secure double garage is conveniently located adjacent to this area and measures approximately 6.6 x 9m.
Adjoining the kitchen/meals area is a TV room and separate art space/games room or even a seventh bedroom. Back around to the original part of the house is a formal dining area, another sunroom that overlooks the vineyard, a fireplace and two extra-large bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The laundry area, separate toilet and another bathroom with a spa bath sits off the sunroom and can be accessed from outside.
The front garden includes many native plant varieties such as Silver Princess gums, Geraldton wax, grevillea and correas. A stone pathway winds through the garden, past the fire pit and garden sculptures.
The North facing garden has a large dual pond system with water plants and a bridge heading over to a picnic bench. There is a lawn area and an enormous fruit and vegetable garden section.
The vineyard has around 5 acres of Shiraz grapes with reticulation, a large shed for machinery and a smaller lockable shed for fertilizer. The vines are over 20 years old and are planted on coarse sandy gravel. More information is available on the history of the vineyard on request.
A 5-stand shearing shed in very good condition sits at the back of the property. It has a concrete floor, electricity, water and access to a toilet located in a smaller shed. The property has four main areas of pasture and many stands of natural bush containing Jarrah and Marri along with an abundance of grass trees.
The property is in the locality of Mayanup, around 20 minutes from the town of Boyup Brook and 35 minutes from Bridgetown. It is also within the 50kms radius for employment opportunities at the Greenbushes Talison Lithium Mine.
Boyup Brook offers great public and Catholic school options with the school bus passing by the property. The fantastic and supportive community offers several sporting clubs and groups.
The property has many possibilities to create income, some ideas include:
• BnB - there is potential to section off a wing and create an income through a BnB set up, while still maintaining private areas for living.
• Grapes - can be sold or turned into wine. The vineyard could be easily extended as the property has an abundance of water and space.
• Stock – Around 250 sheep can be run on the property. There are sheep yards, water troughs and a shearing shed. The property would also be suitable for cattle.
• Horse Agistment - The Mayanup Equestrian Ground is around 7kms down the road and this property would be very handy for those looking to agist horses.
