Bouvard WA 6211

Individually designed, high-ceilinged farmhouse-styled home with wide verandahs. Although the home is energy-passive, the attractive asking price includes air cond if wanted, installed ready for settlement; a top-of-the-line, ducted reverse-cycle system with remote zones control.
The external walls are a feature on their own the front wall in limestone and features a Jarrah lintel over Jarrah & glass double front doors and sidelights.
There is a Jarrah lintel over each window and each is Jarrah-framed. Most windows feature a flyscreened, louvered section that adds to the country theme.
Most of the rear wall is limestone and also features Jarrah lintels and windows. The other walls feature horizontal corrugated iron and the roof is corrugated iron.
Internally there are also limestone feature walls & Jarrah lintels, including over the breakfast bar / servery of the big country kitchen.
Thermal benefit is obtained from the limestone walls and from the extensive insulation in the corrugated iron walls and in all ceilings.
The nearly brand-new country kitchen has a dishwasher and features Caesar Stone bench tops and a country pantry with shelving along the full length of one wall. It has a fully flued Andi rangehood over a large Andi country cooker, with 5-burner gas cooktop and electric oven & plate warmer (all stainless steel). There s also a bench cupboard with slide-up door, to screen utility appliances such as kettle & toaster.
The kitchen also features a beautiful 120yrs-old Oregon double-casement window set.
There are extensive verandahs, with 5 external doors opening onto them including double Jarrah & glass doors from the big main bedroom, which has an ensuite bathroom. All 4 bedrooms are a good size.
Wide T&G floorboards feature in the open-plan living and in the wide passages. The family area and passages flooring is pine and the dining area is Jarrah.
Overhead in the living is the most delightful effect created by use of a high, corrugated iron ceiling and downlighting.
There is a large lounge / theatre room through Colonial doors off one of the passages. The study is across the passage from it and has recessed shelving.
The home is on 2.17 hectares (5 acres) of level, natural vegetation, with several large Jarrahs and Marris.
The outbuildings list starts with a high-roofed, double carport, which has a limestone wall on the weather side and character weather-roofing over timber decking that links it with the verandah.
There is an inviting outdoor bbq area that makes the most of the natural treed setting,
Overlooking it is a wonderfully rustic, character shearing shed-style entertainer pavilion of cleverly recycled timber & corrugated iron and features a rustic drinks bar, which has a sink and hot & cold water.
It is walled on two sides (and in the bar area) and each wall features a prop-open hopper breeze vent of timber-braced corrugated iron.
There s a big farm machinery-type shed of limestone-coloured rendered walls & high iron roof, with a large central bay area of 10mWx9mD that is open to the front, plus a single garage or workshop at each end and large, floodlit concrete apron & driveway.
A 3rd bathroom, with its own hws, is handily located at one end of the carport, near the entertainment facilities and not far from the shed.
There s also a rainwater tank, chook run, animal-proof vegie enclosure, tree house & lawn play area.
This rectangular acreage has a 2 road frontage, bounded by White Hill Road on its short north boundary and Bouvard Drive on its long west boundary, which the house faces. At the property entrance on Bouvard Drive there is extensive masonry feature work and twin entrances to a circular driveway.
A lush, semi-mature Jacaranda is centrally positioned at the entrance, to contrast with the extensive wooded backdrop.
Although not obvious, all buildings are positioned for potential future subdivision into two lots (with future zoning amendment). The other home would have its own road frontage facing White Hill Rd.
There s already a full-height Cyclone fence on the potential dividing boundary among the trees (keeps the roos out), with personnel gate to go for a wander through the thriving bush, and full-height gates over the firebreak on both sides of the block.
