Set against a backdrop of the majestic Darling Ranges in one of Serpentine's most peaceful cul-de-sacs and an incredibly tightly held area, this beautifully presented homestead delivers the kind of lifestyle so many buyers dream of - privacy, pasture, paddocks and most importantly, potential - all just minutes from town.
Positioned on 2 hectares (5 acres) of fertile, fenced land with excellent drinkable quality groundwater and great infrastructure, the home has recently undergone a fresh transformation, offering light-filled living and plenty of space for families to grow, entertain and create.
With the costs of building - let alone the scarcity of available 5 acre lots in Serpentine and surrounding areas, there's untapped value on offer here with a great foundation for your entry into acreage living. Grab this opportunity with open arms!
The Home:
Beyond the wide wraparound patio and charming exterior, the residence unfolds into a thoughtfully zoned, family-oriented layout with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Freshly painted throughout and featuring brand new flooring, it's ready for immediate enjoyment with scope to personalise further over time.
The open-plan family, meals and games zone forms the central hub of the home - bright, airy and spilling with natural light via sliding glass doors to the outdoor patio. A generous kitchen with wraparound bench space, large pantry and garden outlooks anchors this expansive open living space beautifully.
A second living area to the front of the home creates a more formal lounge and dining space - ideal as a parents' retreat, kids' playroom or even a theatre room. There's also a dedicated study/home office positioned privately off the entryway.
Four (4) comfortable bedrooms are well-separated, with the master suite enjoying walk-in robe storage, an ensuite bathroom, and serene views across the gardens. The three secondary bedrooms all include robes and are serviced by a family bathroom, laundry and separate WC.
Outdoor Living & Entertaining:
A full-length, paved alfresco patio runs along the north-facing side of the home - perfect for soaking up the winter sun or hosting year-round gatherings. Surrounding established and low-maintenance gardens offer added privacy and shelter, while a variety of seasonal plantings and fruit trees create a picturesque setting that changes with the seasons.
Infrastructure & Land Use:
The land itself is well laid out and offers incredible versatility for hobby farmers, horse owners or anyone looking to run a few head of livestock. Divided into 5 paddocks (3 smaller, 2 larger), it's securely fenced and dotted with towering shade trees for adequate shelter.
A high-clearance, 3-phase powered workshop offers fantastic storage and work space, with the bonus of mezzanine storage and plenty of flat laydown area for trailers, floats or machinery. Adjoining stable boxes add even more versatility - perfect for animal lovers or equestrian pursuits.
Water is one of this property's most valuable assets - a reliable bore delivers crystal-clear, drinkable water currently used to reticulate the gardens, while rainwater tanks service the house which can be topped up with the groundwater in the drier months when required.
The entire block is easily irrigated, and the soil and groundwater make it ideal for planting an orchard or continued pasture improvement.
The home is also energy efficient, thanks to rooftop solar panels and reverse-cycle ducted air conditioning for year-round comfort. This is about as close as you'll get to 'self-sufficient' before battery storage - outgoings consist of the 'rates' and little else!
