A private gravel track winds through an expansive holding of majestic marri, jarrah, and karri forest to reach this deeply considered eco retreat and lifestyle property. Located in the peaceful rural pocket of Osmington, just an 8min drive to Canebrake Pool on the Carbunup River, this extraordinary property backs directly onto pristine State Forest. It places you within easy reach of Geographe Bay beaches, surf breaks, and wineries, offering an unparalleled sense of seclusion while remaining highly connected to the broader region.
Managed lovingly under strict permaculture principles, the land balances biodiversity, ecological restoration, and practical design. The acreage consists of regenerating native forest alongside several operational, fully fenced productive paddocks. Water security is exceptional, featuring a spring fed dam set among the trees, a second dam, multiple natural soaks, a solar powered water pump feeding a garden header tank, and extensive rainwater storage across all major structures. Recent earthworks have established an upgraded catchment and drainage system, creating a highly strategic three acre blank canvas area primed for further food forest development.
The Farmhouse
The Farmhouse serves as a dedicated owner's house, enveloped by a sweeping veranda encompassing the entire residence. This elevated timber home is set on stilts, offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, and a sunroom, with fresh paint throughout and a beautifully upgraded new kitchen. Its wide verandas and generous deck overlook established gardens, a backyard pond, and a thriving nearby orchard boasting about three dozen varied fruit trees. Capital improvements include an extended master bedroom and a distinctive copper bath, with vehicle parking provided by a freestanding four car carport, while the property's solar panel system is centrally housed on the large shed next to the lodge.
The Lodge
The Lodge operates as an independent rental dwelling or superb caretaker's residence, perfectly positioned to accommodate guests, staff, or extended family. This warm timber dwelling features a large mezzanine bedroom, two downstairs rooms, and spacious living areas. It offers an authentic rural character and provides an entirely independent space well separated from the primary home, sitting adjacent to both the main workshop and the caravan retreat area.
The Caravan
A bespoke caravan retreat area provides additional character accommodation, complete with an open kitchen, composting toilet, shower setup, and a dedicated storage shed, offering guests a true bush garden experience.
The Hive
The Hive is the property's signature octagonal house and architectural masterpiece, supported by character bush poles. This solar passive, two storey pavilion features exposed timber beams, sleek polished concrete floors, and floor to ceiling muted coffee brown windows that frame the treetops and sweeping meadows beyond. Morning light floods the double height living space through northern glazing, while a central slow combustion wood heater on a sandstone hearth anchors the room. The kitchen occupies a beautifully designed space beneath the timber clad mezzanine, open shelved and fitted with stone benchtops and a terracotta tile splashback.
A spiral staircase leads to the upper level sleeping quarters, where beautiful marri floorboards milled directly from the property run through separate bedroom zones divided by terracotta curtains and cable balustrades. The Hive features two distinct bathrooms: the upper level boasts a freestanding oval tub, large format white tile, and a laminated vanity, while the downstairs bathroom is accessed from the deck, featuring an overhead eco water saving shower, toilet, laminated vanity, and a large ceramic laundry tub. Outside, a timber deck extends from the northern face, overlooking trailing vines and established gardens thick with giant birds of paradise and numerous natives, kept lush via a dedicated greywater recycling system. The Hive holds a Holiday Home license with a registered capacity for overnight guest accommodation for up to twelve people.
The Yoga Shala & Sheds
Health, wellness, and creative pursuits are perfectly catered for by the Yoga Shala. Converted from a large shed, this purpose built timber floored retreat space boasts wood fire heating, ceiling fans, a welcoming foyer, and excellent natural light. It includes private, fully operational practitioner treatment rooms, with provisions in place for a future enclosed toilet and a laundry space set on a solid concrete slab. Adjacent to the shala is a designer ablution block featuring two Clivus Multrum composting toilets and dam water showers, masterfully designed by German architect Moritz Muller.
A separate galvanised trim deck shed serves as the property's primary workshop and infrastructure hub. Located next to the lodge and housing the central solar panel system on its roof, this substantial structure features solid concrete floors, three phase power capability, and three separate bays, including two fully enclosed spaces with standard and roller doors, and a versatile semi open central bay. It provides exceptional space for rural equipment, storage, and heavy duty projects.
