In a tranquil native bush setting near the foothills of the Porongurup Ranges, this delightful property will make a sensational holiday home or short-term letting proposition.
It consists of a smart solar-passive home of Colorbond construction on a 4.85ha bush block, where the natural surroundings of a wide variety of eucalyptus species, grass trees and myriad wildflowers make you feel at one with nature from the moment you drive in.
Occupants will awake to birdsong and enjoy a rare privacy in the natural surroundings of this idyllic hideaway.
Built in 2007 by WA Country Builders, the home is modern, well-appointed and well presented inside and out. It is also sunny and light, with extensive glazing and sliding glass doors taking in the bushland views in every direction.
The open living room incorporates a lounge with a corner wood fire, an adjoining dining area and the kitchen at one end, with attractive cabinetry, gas cooking and an under-bench oven.
A hallway leads to the two bedrooms, the king-sized master with glass doors to the rear, a walk-in robe and an ensuite shower room with vanity and toilet.
A second shower room with vanity and a separate toilet are further along the hall, near the other double bedroom and the laundry.
Practical vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the living spaces, while the bedrooms and hall are fitted with attractive carpet. All fittings, tiling and décor are in excellent condition, and the building has been well maintained.
Outside, there's a rainwater tank providing abundant water for the home, a solar hot water system and a paved carport, which could double as a sheltered patio for outdoor living in summer.
A few minutes to the major tourist destination of Porongurup National Park and the area's renowned wineries and scenic bush walks, this property could be a holiday retreat for city dwellers with the option to rent it out between their own stays.
Reached via a pretty landscape of bush and verdant rural land, it feels a million miles from the rat race, but the desirable property is only 40 minutes from Albany and 20 minutes from Mt Barker.
