The approach alone sets the tone. A long driveway climbs through a natural landscape of Wandoo and grass trees, the salmon-pink trunks of the Wandoo mirroring the warm tones of the soil beneath. Halfway up, the working heart of the property reveals itself - a large, powered workshop with lean-to and a three-stall shelter with power and water connecting to two fenced paddocks. A winter dam draws a rotating cast of local wildlife to the property. By the time you reach the top of the block, the sense of arrival is complete, with views that open in every direction.
The Country Builders home is oriented to make the most of its elevated position. An expanse of glazing frames the outlook from the open-plan living area, where the landscape becomes the interior's defining feature. A slow-combustion fireplace anchors the room during the cooler months, and ducted evaporative cooling keeps the summer comfortable. The kitchen is fitted with a four-burner gas hob, electric oven, and dishwasher; the cabinetry, finished in a soft eucalyptus green, gives the space a quiet, considered character that feels at home in its surroundings.
Picture a Sunday morning: coffee in hand, sliding door open, breakfast on the south-facing patio with nothing in front of you but valley and sky.
A central hallway runs north to south through the home. At the southern end, the principal suite wraps the corner with large windows that frame the changing landscape from bed - sunrise over the ranges, mist sitting in the valley floor, the fronds of grass trees catching afternoon light. A sliding door opens directly to the patio. It is hard to imagine a better way to start the day.
To the north, the hallway passes a family bathroom with a tub, shower and vanity, then a walk-through laundry with a separate WC and built-in linen press, before reaching two generous junior bedrooms, each with built-in robes. There is also a dedicated home office a practical and well-placed concession to the realities of modern work life, large enough to become a fourth bedroom if you were to add doors and a robe.
A gabled alfresco extends across the entire rear of the home, large enough for a party-size table and, should the mood take you, a pool table. A gate in the rear boundary fence opens directly to the Clackline Reserve - effectively extending the property into the bush beyond.
Think about what that means for a family: the kids disappear into the reserve after school, horses are fed before dinner, and the workshop is always busy with something. Weekends fill themselves. There is a rhythm to life here that is difficult to replicate closer to the city - unhurried mornings, evenings around the table comparing notes on the day, plans forming for what comes next. The property offers genuine scope to accommodate horses, a home business or simply the desire for space and a slower pace.
