Netherwood Estate:
Once the heart of a sprawling 6,000-acre estate, later subdivided for returning soldiers after the war, this land tells a story of resilience and legacy.
Wander the grounds and you'll uncover echoes of its past; weathered foundations, antique farming equipment, and towering stumps that speak to the rich soil and prized timber recorded in early survey notes.
In 2023, the homestead underwent meticulous restoration, preserving its heart while embracing modern luxury. Leadlight windows, Jarrah and timbers, wool carpets, and heritage fixtures have been lovingly maintained, ensuring every detail reflects authenticity. During the renovation, hidden treasures emerged-original bottles and newspapers from 1921- now nestled as a time-capsule under the floorboards together with bottles from 2024 - a bridge between the eras.
Netherwood Estate is more than just a farm, it's a sanctuary for families seeking space, freedom, and connection. Here, children can grow surrounded by nature, learning practical country skills that build confidence and resilience for life. From caring for animals to exploring wide-open paddocks, every day offers an opportunity to create memories and nurture values that last generations.
If you've been dreaming of a move to the South West, this estate offers the perfect balance of country living and urban convenience. Enjoy the serenity of nature while staying close to Bunbury, Busselton, and Capel for all your essential amenities.
