Overview
Not Just A Home, Its A Lifestyle.
Some homes make a statement. Others create a lasting impression. On rare occasions, a residence achieves both with quiet authority. Set within the tightly held Helena Valley Private Estate on an expansive and exceptionally rare 2,258sqm holding, this solar passive home crafted by Griff Morris of Solar Dwellings, presents a considered balance of architectural intent, refined comfort and lifestyle sophistication. From the moment you arrive, the interplay of natural light, quality materials and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape signals a home designed not for trends, but for enduring living.
As you enter the impressive front door, the heart of the home reveals itself in a series of light-filled spaces shaped for both connection and comfort. The kitchen stands as a quiet centrepiece, where stone benchtops catch the day's glow, European Smeg appliances support both everyday living and grand occasions, and generous storage ensures form and function exist in perfect harmony. Here, conversations unfold as meals are prepared, laughter drifts through the living and dining zones and the expansive gardens beyond become a living backdrop through wide windows that gently blur the boundary between inside and out.
The master retreat is positioned as a statement of space and privacy, offering a sense of scale and prestige rarely found. Generous in proportion and beautifully oriented to capture tranquil views across the pool and gardens, it is bathed in natural light and cooled by gentle breezes through wide windows. A substantial walk-in robe and a refined ensuite that is complete with a marble vanity, separate powder room and private toilet, elevate this suite into a private sanctuary of quiet luxury.
Beyond, the minor bedroom wing unfolds around a generous central activity room, creating a dedicated family zone that feels both practical and welcoming. Three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in robes and ceiling fans, flow from this space and are serviced by a contemporary family bathroom and separate toilet, offering comfort, privacy and flexibility for modern living.
Step outside and the experience becomes something truly distinctive. The backyard unfolds as a private estate garden, layered, immersive and rich in atmosphere. From the expansive alfresco, long lunches ease into golden evenings as your gaze settles across the heated, fully fenced pool, its surface reflecting open skies and drifting clouds. This is a setting designed for celebration, connection and unhurried living.
Just beyond, the separate pool house stands as a destination in its own right. Refined, versatile and entirely self-contained, it adapts effortlessly to the moment. This space could easily be transformed into a luxurious fifth bedroom for guests, an intimate private theatre complete with projector, screen and speakers, or an impressive entertaining space enhanced by a built-in mirror ball. A full bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet ensures complete independence, while the tranquil veranda, fitted with a barbecue, sink and rangehood, offers the perfect vantage point to relax and watch the afternoon unfold by the pool.
Framing the gardens at both the front and rear of the home, beautifully crafted Toodyay stone surrounds introduce a sense of permanence and architectural character, grounding the landscape with warmth and timeless appeal. Tucked discreetly behind the pool house, a flourishing orchard of apple, mandarin, mulberry and grape vines, along with a charming chicken coop for your feathered friends, creates a hidden retreat that feels a world away from the main residence. Nearby, the fire pit stands as its own destination — a place for cool evenings, glowing embers and conversation beneath the open sky. At the heart of the grounds stands the truly breathtaking ghost gum, a sculptural centrepiece that anchors the landscape by day and transforms by night, softly illuminated by a central spotlight that lends a subtle, almost theatrical elegance to the garden. A rare and highly practical feature is the drive-through access to the back yard, with vehicle entry available both from Helena Valley Road and directly through the double garage into the backyard, making it effortless to bring in trailers, additional vehicles, garden equipment or larger items without compromising the home's presentation or privacy.
This is a residence where luxury is not loud — it is layered, lived in and deeply felt. From its solar efficiency and 6kW solar system, to the expansive workshop with 15-amp power, multiple living zones and meticulously established gardens, every element has been chosen to enhance the way this home is experienced, not simply admired.
Just 25 minutes from the Perth CBD, 15 minutes from the airports, moments from excellent schools and only 10 minutes from the Midland shopping precinct, this address offers a rare balance of seclusion and connection, privacy and accessibility, beauty and everyday ease.
