Located on the Perth-side of the Bakers Hill township (approximately 45 minutes from Perth airport), Koojedda offers an enviable lifestyle comprising 92 acres of land, multi-dwelling accommodation and passive income. The property enjoys excellent WIFI connection and proximity to Perth, offering options for commuting or working from home.
Named after a railway siding, Koojedda was originally home to a multi-generational family that operated a timber mill, dairy and citrus orchard. Apart from two large commercial-sized sheds, the houses and buildings are constructed of wandoo and jarrah timbers that were milled on the property in the 1940s.
Accommodation comprises a four-bedroom homestead; a two-bedroom cottage and a self-contained bespoke Victorian train carriage (replica).
The four-bedroom homestead is airconditioned, boasts three fireplaces and has undergone extensive renovation throughout including rewiring, re-plumbing and polishing of wandoo floorboards to restore its original grandeur. The homestead is a traditional Queenslander farmhouse design: with double French doors from all rooms opening to a wide wrap-around verandah.
The cottage is original and could benefit from some internal cosmetic updating. The structural work completed to date includes connection to underground power and water, full electrical rewiring, new Colourbond roofing, reverse-cycle air conditioning and an electric hot water system installed.
A self-contained Victorian train carriage (replica) sits behind the main homestead. The 'Koojedda Express' is a bespoke design and boasts quality fittings throughout, including a kitchenette, air-conditioning, oak flooring and roofing plus an ensuite with toilet and a clawfoot bath.
Scheme water is connected to the property. Rainwater is also collected from two 22,500 litre tanks connected to one of the sheds and a smaller tank connected to the cottage.
Electricity is supplied from mains and a 5kw/20x solar panel system.
There is approximately 33% arable land - the remainder being a bush reserve and perfect for walking, riding bikes or horses. The arable land has previously been cropped and used as grazing for sheep and horses. Horse facilities include a 30x60 metre arena, round-yard and two night-yards. Walking and riding trails, including the Kep Track and Golden Pipeline Trail, can be accessed from the front and rear of the property.
There are two established orchards. The main orchard contains productive orange, lemon, grapefruit and fig trees. There is also a large mulberry tree, a plum tree and juvenile avocado and pomegranate trees. A secondary orchard, containing apple and pear trees, requires attention.
