The Residence

Positioned on an elevated, north-facing aspect, the main residence enjoys abundant natural light and sweeping rural outlooks across Benjinup farmlands.

The spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom homestead (plus study), encompassing approximately 244sqm of living space with a surrounding 2.8m-wide verandah, offers generous proportions and flexible living areas ideally suited to family living. At the heart of the home, a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone flows seamlessly onto expansive front and rear verandahs, creating the perfect setting for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.

Additional features include:
Large carport
In-ground swimming pool
Substantial rainwater storage
Jarrahdale fireplace
New reverse cycle air-conditioning in most rooms
Single phase power supply
In-ground trampoline

While some renovations have begun, the home offers an exciting opportunity to add value with further cosmetic updates. Internally, a fresh coat of paint and general finishing touches will make an immediate impact.

The Cottage

Privately positioned within one of the paddocks, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom worker's cottage is a true hidden gem. Set against a backdrop of native Australian bush, it exudes rustic charm and character. Water for the cottage is supplied from a rainwater tank located adjacent to the building, though the system is currently disconnected and non-operational. A small storage shed is also present.

Although basic in its current state and with licensing status unknown, the cottage offers incredible potential.
With renovation (subject to approval), it could be transformed into:

Guest accommodation
Rental income opportunity
Peaceful studio or creative retreat

The original residence is in need of renovation and restoration, including a roof replacement and repairs to some flooring in the kitchen due to water damage.

The cottage also requires renovation and presents an opportunity for buyers to add value and create additional accommodation.

There is a collection of old machinery, tin, steel posts, and other miscellaneous materials on the property that purchasers may wish to remove or repurpose.

The property is currently being grazed by sheep; however, there is no formal lease arrangement in place. The land offers versatility for a range of agricultural pursuits, including livestock grazing, cattle, horses, hay production, cereal cropping, orchards, and fruit tree cultivation, subject to the buyer's requirements and approvals where applicable.

Water security is a standout feature of the property, supported by a well-designed and practical system suitable for a small-scale farming or lifestyle use:

Bore located at the front of the property, pumping to hilltop Tank-1
Large dam with solar mill pumping to hilltop Tank-2
New rainwater Tank-3 beside the house, supplying the home
Tanks 1 and 2 are gravity-fed, servicing both the home and gardens
Water from Tank-2 reticulated to troughs
All three tanks are interconnected and controlled via valves

Additional features:
Divided into 4-paddocks, supported with troughs
Large shed with tank and pumps
Additional smaller storage sheds
Old chook house
Small green donga
