AMAZING VALUE FOR MONEY.

This Beautiful property is located only 40 min south of Perth in the sought after Serpentine area. While being situated in a private and secluded part of the shire, adjacent to picturesque bush and wet lands with plenty of entertaining wildlife, it is only 15 min to the freeway and 10 min to the South West Hwy making it the ideal location for a business.
This farm was built up over a period of 16 years from scratch. It constitutes an 800 m limestone drive way from Elliott Road with the main residence being located on a slightly raised area within the larger complex totalling two buildings, a shed/garage, a large chook house and a small pond, all reticulated and fenced. There is also a horse stable facility nearby and a larger commercial shed further back on the property near the marron farm itself.

The two main buildings consist of one main residence and what formerly was a fully functioning restaurant with a capacity for 60 people. The main residence is divided into two parts and is effectively two separated houses. As you walk into the fully enclosed entrance you will find the larger of the two homes on the right consisting of 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, a large living area, a large kitchen, an office and an entertainment room with plenty of windows overlooking the beautiful surrounds. The size of the main residence totals 250 m2. On the left you have the slightly smaller residence consisting of 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, a living area, a kitchen, an underground cellar and an enclosed outdoor entertainment area featuring a large fully custom built wood pizza oven, perfect for entertaining on those beautiful mild Perth evenings. The whole thing once again looks out over the beautiful natural surroundings including the Darling scarp in the distance and because advantage was taken of the northern aspect there is plenty of warm sunlight in winter making it possible to enjoy all year round. The size of this residence totals 135 m2. Water is no problem as there is a large 200,000-liter fully lined concrete water tank located underground. Furthermore there are a two bores totaling 56,000 kilo capacity. One is located in the main complex and is drilled to 30m deep utilizing a 3 hp pump and the other was designed to supply water for aquaculture related activities on the marron farm itself and was drilled to 120 m also utilizing a 3 hp pump.
The second building which was formerly a residence also and then renovated into a fully functioning commercial restaurant in operation for many years, and is used for a house again in the moment. Consists of a pre-dinner drinks area, a kitchen, an office, a staff bathroom, a male and female patronage bathroom four large aquariums two of which are fully built into the walls of the facility and a large enclosed gazebo, seating up to 60 people, surrounded by glass windows ensuring an unobstructed view of the adjoining grounds including the small pond featuring entertaining ducks and geese . In its center there is a large glass fireplace, perfect to create that homely feel on a cold winter's day. And in the corner you will find a uniquely designed wood and tin sheet bar reminiscent of that country feel. This building is purposefully suited to facilitating a restaurant, but that is not to say it would not make the perfect entertaining area with so much space and all its facilities you could cater for large or small family gatherings and parties to your hearts content. It really is the perfect entertainment facility either way.

Getting down to business. The property features plenty of lakes and ponds. There is a beautifully designed lake - featuring a couple of small islands and located to the east of the main complex - which was created specifically for recreational use. The rest of the ponds are located to the south of the main residence and this is where the marron farm itself was built. It constitutes 60 ponds and 3 large lakes serving the function of continuous year round water supply for the remaining ponds. This farm was designed with large commercial production in mind. It is a fully integrated design enabling one person to empty a large 70 by 20 meter pond on their own in only a couple of hours. The secret behind this revolutionary concept is the intricate web of underground pipes (150mm in diameter) connecting all the ponds to a centrally located sump at the top of the farm. All gravity fed and sloped to achieve a smooth and harmonious flow of water from the low end of the pond into the sump from where it is pumped back into the main supply lake while simultaneously one of the 3 large three phase pumps is - through another intricate network of underground pipes - pumping water back into the high end of the pond being emptied, to help maintain a constant flow through to the sump where of course the marron are easily harvested using a large crate and crane. The Farm is not in operation in the moment.

Furthermore, as of July 2015 the property will have council approval for up to forty chalets, a conference centre, and staff accommodation. There is a huge potential to create a holiday retreat alongside the already established Marron Farm/Restaurant.
