The adorable 40s cottage is freshly painted inside and has a light, airy feel. The floors are jarrah, and there are leadlight lights as well as a leadlight window in the kitchen, which catches the morning sun.
The centrally located kitchen is brand new, and has a new built-in country style oven and a new dishwasher. It has high ceilings throughout, and the large main bedroom upstairs has seclusion and lovely views over the property. There are two other bedrooms, one has views over the back scenery of the property, and has its own access straight onto the back deck through glass doors. The other bedroom has French doors that open into a small dining area.
The lounge room has a Jarrahdale slow combustion wood heater which warms the house comfortably in the cold winter months, as well as a reverse cycle air conditioner for all seasons, and overlooks the front bird attracting garden, and windmill.
The large back deck creates a space that can be used all year round, and it overlooks a huge fig tree, a vineyard and a large vegetable patch.
There are beautiful trees all around, which bring the birds and their songs close. A short walk takes you to a separate studio/office (6m x 6m), which has terracotta floor tiles, and is a wonderful space for creativity or work. Inspiration is not far, as it is surrounded and looks out onto native gardens and trees, and beyond into the paddocks.
From the house, there is a pathway which connects to the American style barn with a lean-to (7m x 12m). It has mains power, a concrete floor and good lighting and is set up as a workshop.
The property also has a large cyclone fenced chicken pen complete with chicken house, a good bore which has an ornamental windmill above it, a 25,000 gallon rain water tank, a 20,000 gallon bore water tank, a large hay shed, additional sheds for storage, irrigation piping to most areas of the property, and a small orchard of fruit trees.
The property has a rare and beautiful combination of paddocks with shelters, parkland cleared areas, as well as bushland which has a mass of wild donkey orchards in the spring.
Lake Leschenaultia with its walk/cycle track, picnic areas and cafe is a short walk away from home.
This property provides a unique lifestyle that gives the feeling of the country, with Perth still being only 40 minutes away.
