28 Mckay Drive

Serpentine WA 6125

Set across an exceptional 4.46 hectares (approximately 11 acres) within the foothills of the Darling Range, 28 McKay Drive is an ideally sized hobby farm where lifestyle, farming and other opportunity come together in a truly spectacular way. The property has been significantly improved over the past four years with updated fencing and extensive home improvements. With good access to water and pasture, there is ample scope for horse and other livestock. It is currently run with sheep as well as goats in the past.Well located and immersed in magnificent natural surroundings, including bird and other wildlife, the property has access to bush walks and the nearby Serpentine National Park.This beautifully presented four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, complete with study, is both warm and inviting, with rich timber tones, charming interiors and tasteful updates throughout. The kitchen has been transformed with new cabinetry, stone benchtops and an impressive Smeg Victoria freestanding oven, while the bathrooms have also been tastefully updated. German-designed Climate Frame double-glazed windows and doors add another level of year-round comfort and quality.Beyond the homestead, approximately 11 acres of undulating countryside provide an incredible sense of space and privacy, while a level area accommodates the main residence, a substantial 157sqm workshop and separate guest accommodation. The guest dwelling includes its own kitchen, living area, bathroom, bedroom and deck, offering an ideal space for family and friends or the potential for an additional income stream, subject to approvals.With 360-degree panoramic views from the property, each bedroom enjoys a magnificent outlook. The home has a spectacular outdoor living space designed to be enjoyed year-round. At approximately 95sqm, this incredible lifestyle area, tailored for both relaxation and entertainment, features its own fireplace, outdoor blinds, fans and an elevated outlook across the surrounding landscape. It boasts exceptional views extending from the City, along the coast to Mandurah, making for the enjoyment of spectacular sunsets followed by amazing night views when the horizon lights up all the way across from Perth in the north to Mandurah in the south.The property is also exceptionally well equipped, with water tanks, including two 50,000-litre tanks, one of which services the main residence, access to mains water, and extensive updated fencing across the property.This property affords many potential opportunities. For instance, a previous owner obtained and held development approval for four additional dwellings, while the current owner has successfully operated the main residence as short-stay accommodation for guests commuting from the city and those attending nearby weddings. With Mardella Meadows, Millbrook Winery and Quarry Farm all close by, the location lends itself naturally to this type of opportunity, subject to the relevant approvals.Positioned within Eton Hills Estate, this exclusive hilltop property is immersed in the natural beauty of the Darling Range foothills. Close by is the town of Serpentine with the historic Jarrahdale community only minutes away and Serpentine Falls accessible via the track accessed directly from the rear of the property. Ultimately, 28 McKay Drive is difficult to define as simply a home, semi-rural acreage property or investment. It offers a charming and beautifully updated residence, an extraordinary outdoor living space, substantial infrastructure, genuine guest accommodation and a level of future potential rarely found in one property.Acreage.
