The house was built using passive solar principles. Advice was sought from the Perth Observatory on the direction of the long east / west axis of the house to minimise the amount of summer sun shining through the windows. The back, wisteria laden pergola, when bare in winter, allows the sun to warm the house but protects the interior from heat in summer. The low maintenance water wise front garden offers sculptural greenery to the house approach. The home itself has been beautifully maintained and offers you magnificent entertaining spaces both formal and informal. When entertaining at night on the outdoor decking, you can enjoy seeing the Bunbury lights, the flashing of Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and the spectacular sunsets.
During the day tend to the regularly fertilised farm of 7 well fenced paddocks, 1 dam and 2 soaks. There are many espaliered fruit trees, 6 raised beds for vegetables and a chicken run all housed under netting to enjoy while the olive, fig and avocado trees outside will supply your kitchen.
If you don't feel like farming one day, there is a self contained studio currently used for machine knitting, the carpentry workshop and the 3 bay shed garage is crisp and clean, lined insulated and powered. An absolutely stunning designed rural property with far too many features that only an inspection will over deliver real value in todays shortage of quality lifestyle properties.
