An as-new Colorbond steel framed home set on 3.26 acres of park-like acreage planted with deciduous trees for shade, natives for wildlife habitat and jacarandas for summer colour. This property delivers genuine space – inside and out – with a three-bedroom primary residence, separate one-bedroom accommodation, two paddocks and the kind of big sky that reminds you what evening light actually looks like. Reclaimed materials meet contemporary country style throughout, from Art Deco leadlight windows to repurposed farm machinery that lends structure to the garden.

The main residence sits proudly elevated, with reclaimed Art Deco leadlight windows screening the corners of the wraparound verandah. Entry is via a wide staircase framed by multicoloured recycled paving. The thoughtful reuse continues—an old bedhead repurposed as a balustrade, and disused farm machinery cleverly lending structure to garden beds. An inspired material palette and a clear eye for making things work give this home genuine personality.
The open-plan kitchen, family, and meals area feels genuinely spacious. A 900 mm freestanding self-cleaning oven anchors the kitchen, finished in soft blue cabinetry with marble-look benchtops and a grey subway-tile splashback. Hybrid flooring runs across the entire plan, connecting kitchen to meals to family room in a continuous flow that makes the space feel larger than its footprint and handles the inevitable traffic of daily life without complaint. The meals area opens directly to the southern verandah – breakfast outside becomes routine, not an occasion.
A large casement opening and double-sided Jarrahdale slow-combustion fire, with a pressed-metal surround, link the central living area to the adjoining activity room. Timber floors and generous proportions make this a great, open space where a pool table fits comfortably, creating a laid-back spot for family fun, entertaining and unwinding together.
The principal suite claims the front corner of the plan, a bay window framing views across the acreage. The room is generous – king-size bed, space for a reading chair, split-system air conditioning, and direct deck access. The ensuite features a relaxing spa bath, a detail that transforms a standard evening into a genuine wind-down.
Two junior bedrooms share the family bathroom – one a double, the other a large king with reverse-cycle air conditioning and its own deck access. The family bathroom includes both a shower and a tub, with a separate WC accessed via the walk-through laundry. The laundry itself uses a moody palette, continuing the contemporary country aesthetic that runs throughout.
The separate accommodation elevates this property. A large verandah with outdoor blinds leads to a multi-use room with a pitched roof, slow-combustion fire, evaporative cooling, and a kitchen corner. This space could serve as additional accommodation for visiting family, a teenager's retreat that offers everyone breathing room, or a home-based business office /showroom. A sheltered outdoor fire pit extends the usable space – somewhere to gather on clear nights when the stars do all the talking. The large bathroom/laundry and partially enclosed rear room (ideal as bedroom or office) add genuine flexibility.
Outside, the 3.26 acres delivers fenced paddocks – one with shelter – provide scope for a pony, alpacas, or simply the peace that comes with room to breathe and move. The chicken coop is in place. A woodshed, garden shed, carport, and an old bus converted to a storage room. The property runs a 5-kW solar array and connects to scheme water, supplemented by a small rainwater tank.
The acreage itself has been planted with trees for shade and jacarandas that announce summer in violet. The garden incorporates recycled elements throughout – a creative approach that gives the property character.
Bakers Hill township sits five minutes away – enough distance to feel separate, close enough that milk runs don't become expeditions. Northam is 20 minutes, Mundaring 25 minutes, Perth Airport approximately 50 minutes. This is the Wheatbelt fringe – close enough to Perth for work commutes, far enough out that the night sky actually matters. The property suits anyone seeking space without isolation, contemporary comfort without suburban compression and the particular satisfaction of hearing birdsong rather than traffic as the day begins.
