The draw of one of the prettiest country towns in the state, combined with a house on a unique site on the glorious Blackwood River, is tempting enough.But the vision of the timber building that opens up after a short drive along the riverbank is something else.The rustic home fits into the hillside as if was made for the space among the trees, but it began life as the homestead of an orchard at Newlands, just out of Donnybrook.The owners transported it to its present site, and with skilled tradespeople set about transforming it with the comforts of modern living while enhancing its rustic charm.This handcrafted masterpiece offers a rich heritage in every room. As well as being wheelchair friendly.High ceilings, an extensive use of jarrah including in the grand staircase, french doors with blacksmith made fittings and a rustic open fireplace with a refurbished Metter Wood Stove are on the long list of features.A panoramic bay window overlooking the Blackwood River adds to the appeal of the dining room.There are two air-conditioned main bedroom suites on the ground floor, with walk-in-dressing rooms.On the second storey is a sitting room that would lend itself to many uses - a craft area, a study or a playroom, with two more sizeable bedrooms.The homestead is on a 1.1881 Ha wooded block with its own kitchen orchard.There is a wide variety of fruit and nut trees, such as orange, lemon, plum, apple, mandarin, peach, fig, mulberry, olive, pecan and chestnut.Matching in character are the outbuildings, a two-storey barn plus ancillary accommodation in a charming garden setting, and a large garage and workshop.This has been a permanent residence for the sellers and is now being offered for genuine sale.
