2 Riverside Road

Kalgan WA 6330

Tall eucalypts flank the driveway leading to the cottage and gardens, which are tucked away for privacy with stands of native trees and bushes for shelter and birdlife.

Pleasant, sunny and versatile, the cottage has been upgraded in recent years with a modernised kitchen and shower room, and the installation of vinyl plank flooring.

The comfy lounge has a wood fire and glass doors onto an enclosed, paved patio or games room. Beside this is a covered, sheltered area for stowing bikes, kayaks and other big toys.

Adjoining the white kitchen – with electric cooking and a breakfast bar – is a generous dining area, and the back door onto another patio with a lovely view north as far as the Porongurups.

Both bedrooms are big doubles, and the shower room off the laundry is complete with a vanity and toilet.

A carport adjoins the house, and there's a lock-up shed as well as a woodshed, and an open summer entertaining area for a barbecue and firepit.

The land is mostly cleared and in grass, so a session on the ride-on mower keeps it looking spick and span.

A few fruit trees are already established and there's plenty of space for expanding the orchard, setting up a chicken run and planting vegetable beds.

A rainwater tank supplies the home and there's a bore for the gardens.

Good fencing, two-road access and solar hot water are other benefits of this outstanding country property, which is within easy reach of the renowned Great Southern Grammar and a pleasant 20-minute commute to the city.
