ROMANTIC | stone bridges, water features, country lane, babbling brook
SECLUDED | private, no through road, a very special eco-system with abundant birdlife
WALK | St Brigids College (100m) or in zone for highly regarded Falls Road PS (500m)
We invite you to experience this 2864sqm of delightfulness. Come, RELAX and RELISH in our little secret in a 'no through road' location tucked away behind the magnificent grounds of St Brigids College.
Wander down the country lane driveway OR divert through the amazing 'rainforest' BOARD WALK, past the FIRE PIT, enjoying the COBBLED pathways and incredible plantation of giant bamboo, the STONE BRIDGE over the babbling CREEK which ends up tumbling over the magnificent Lesmurdie Falls just down the road. Rest awhile by the beautiful FOUNTAIN gazing up to the amazing treed canopy and the beautiful under-storey of foliage which is abundant with beautiful BIRD LIFE and dear little Quendas (bandicoots).
This whole panorama changes with every Season: enjoy Autumn glory; hushed in Winter broken by the cascading creek; splendiferous in Spring and bursting with beautiful dappled shade bouncing light in Summer.
The Reveal : our Queenslander Homestead which provides an elevation to enjoy this beautiful environment from most rooms and the generous WRAP VERANDAHS. Weddings, Parties, Anything ! Your morning coffee, your gatherings and coming home from a hard day at the office may never be the same !
If you are excited by beautiful heritage style architecture including space and grace with high ceilings, rich jarrah floors, beautiful picture windows, abundant FRENCH DOORS, fretwork, lattice, exquisite LEADLIGHT and a sublime stone Kitchen and divine Bathrooms, then we will see you soon.
If you think SWINGS, cute CUBBY, tadpoles, building forts, climbing trees and PICNICS in your own rainforest might be something for you and your kiddies or grand kiddies, here we are.
We are rubbing shoulders with St Brigids College (100m) and in the catchment zone for the highly regarded Falls Road Primary School (only a 500m walk around the corner). In addition, Kalamunda Christian School, Mazenod College and Lesmurdie Senior High School are all within 3kms.
We are seeking new custodians who desire a beautiful place to come home to. We expect this may be discerning folk who understand quality - artists, families and bird lovers who may also be professionals craving this reclusive environment right in the HEART of Lesmurdie where you can wander to the shops for your provisions. What a beautiful life !
