Local tip: Start the morning surrounded by the natural beauty of the neighbouring state forest, then come home for a swim and watch the afternoon light settle across your own 10 acres. Out here, it's the simple things that make the lifestyle so special.
Tucked into the foothills of the Darling Ranges and bordered by pristine state forest, this exceptional 10-acre property delivers the kind of space, privacy and freedom that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Cleared pasture, established fruit and nut trees, a naturally draining year-round dam and sweeping rural views create an idyllic backdrop, while a beautifully appointed family home, sparkling pool and substantial powered workshop mean the lifestyle is already here waiting to be enjoyed.
Built in 2014 and thoughtfully updated, the home has been positioned to embrace its surroundings. At its heart is a spectacular custom kitchen, installed in March this year, where floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, stone surfaces, quality appliances and an oversized island create a beautiful centrepiece for everyday living and entertaining.
From here, the open-plan living and dining zone draws your eye straight outside. High ceilings, parquetry flooring, a warming fireplace and generous glazing give the space character, while framing uninterrupted views across the property. Sliding doors extend the living outdoors to a substantial alfresco, pool and garden setting, making this a home designed as much for long summer afternoons as cosy winter evenings.
The accommodation has been equally well considered. The master suite is privately positioned away from the minor bedrooms and includes a large walk-in robe and beautifully finished ensuite, while three additional bedrooms provide plenty of room for family or guests. A separate home office or activity space adds further flexibility for those wanting to work from home without sacrificing a bedroom.
And then there's everything beyond the house.
The saltwater pool creates its own private retreat, while established lawns and gardens soften the immediate surrounds. Further out, the property opens into usable acreage with paddocks, livestock troughs, a bore, rainwater storage, productive fruit and nut trees, vegetable gardens and even three beehives. A huge powered workshop with triple roller doors and an adjoining lean-to provides serious space for vehicles, machinery, projects or storage.

The lifestyle:
This is country living without feeling disconnected. Just 2.8km up the hill from North Dandalup and the South Western Highway, you're close enough to town for the everyday essentials while still returning home to complete privacy, open skies and the sounds of nature.
The local primary school adds to the family appeal, with bus connections available to surrounding high schools, while Pinjarra and Mandurah are both within easy reach for larger shopping, dining and services.
But it's what sits immediately beyond your own boundary that really sets this property apart. With state forest adjoining the land and walking trails accessible directly from the back gate, weekends can begin without ever getting in the car. Wander the trails, tend to the vegetable garden, collect fruit from the trees, spend the afternoon around the pool or simply sit beneath the alfresco as the sun disappears across the acreage.
Ten acres. State forest at the back gate. A year-round dam, pool, workshop and a beautiful family home. This is the rural escape people dream about, without giving up the convenience of having town just down the hill.
