Established in 1854 and well-known throughout Busselton and its surrounding areas, the historical Pigeon Grove Homestead is now available for a new beginning. This charming and beautifully presented homestead makes a lasting first impression. Its stunning beauty fosters a deep connection with nature and is situated on 2.18 hectares of desirable land, offering a spectacular outlook across the tranquil nature reserve and the Sabina River.
THE DESIGN
While the original residence, featuring deep, immersive, and sweeping verandas, as well as Georgian sash windows, maintains the beloved architectural elegance of the historical site, this homestead skilfully combines heritage elements with modern design for a contemporary outlook.
Light and elegance define the vestibule-style entrance, with large sash windows that frame the stunning grounds. Flowing through to the main living area and kitchen, a profound sense of peace and elegants emerges, highlighted by glimpses of the surrounding gardens and the mesmerising views of the Homestead landscape.
Breathing new life into the traditional homestead, the primary residence showcases vaulted ceilings with a modern, contemporary design in the kitchen and living area. It features finishes and fittings inspired by classic farmhouse aesthetics, resulting in an elegant rural atmosphere. The spacious ESSASTONE off-white benchtops and island bench, paired with a striking ILVE freestanding cooker, beautifully complement the modern subway tiles and rustic pendant lighting. A MASPORT freestanding wood fireplace commands attention in the living area, complementing the kitchen and creating a desirable and relaxing space for entertaining.
The undercover alfresco space seamlessly integrates with the primary residence, offering accessibility from the vestibule entrance. The decked area extends across the desirable space, connecting effortlessly with the surrounding undercover verandas and pathways. Designed for entertaining, it features UV cafe blinds that provide just the right amount of light, along with steps that lead down to the grassed area and gardens. Next to the alfresco area is an undercover swim spa with glass-enclosed steps. Both relaxing spaces offer an impressive view, providing endless sunsets throughout the year.
BEDROOMS
Calmness and privacy in the bedrooms, with bedrooms one and two conveniently situated off the main living area. Two separate bathrooms and toilets provide added convenience, both accessible from the small corridor that leads to a delightful open-air courtyard, and fresh air and sunlight. The main bedroom, positioned to the right of the main entrance, boasts a spacious additional lounge area, creating an ideal retreat for parents or visiting guests seeking a cozy getaway.
GUEST WING
The beautiful open-air courtyard is located between the primary residence and the guest wing, connected by a generous verandah and paved pathway.
