OPEN HOUSE – AVON DESCENT weekend 6-7 August

This property offers a truly stunning rural lifestyle only 1 hour 15 minutes to Perth CBD and 10 kms to Toodyay.

Whether you are an animal lover or a hobby farmer, there’s something here for everyone. With a 1.8 mtr high fenced east care irrigated olive grove and orchard (62 trees and 36 vines) and elevated gently undulating pasture fenced into 6 paddocks, all bases are covered for your rural pursuits – as a weekender or permanent home.

A short drive through remnant Wandoo trees leads you to the house paddock with a Troppo Architects designed corrugated iron complex of 3 buildings, the focus being on maximum visibility of the landscape from every room, sustainability, relevance to place and sensitivity to climate.

This unique north facing abode will not disappoint. Slip inside to Miele appliances, polished concrete and polished jarrah floors, Comfort Plus glass for energy efficiency, exposed steel beams on the high skillion ceiling and 7 mtr concertina doors which open onto a large fully screened verandah at the front and paved entertaining area at the back. Two steps from the paved area are 3 large raised garden beds. Fans, air conditioning and a combustion fireplace accommodate all seasons.

Just a few metres from the house is the studio which is useful for visiting guests or for creative pursuits. A sea of everlastings springs up between the house and studio in August and a fully insulated cellar will store your personally crafted wine and olive oil.

The Troppo designed garage (15mtr x 6 mtr) has a soaring roof, an outside shower, a workshop and an open storage area. For farm equipment, there is a large 8mtr x 8 mtr drive-through machinery shed with an 8 mtr x 4 mtr lean-to and post and rail holding pens. Additional holding pens and a small hay shed are located close to the house.

Arriving home at night is no problem as automatic external spotlights guide you between buildings.

Water is in abundance with a permanent dam (with yabbies), 2 working bores, a grey water system and 150,000 ltrs of tank water. The front verandah houses a 1.7 kW solar system which complements mains power and there is solar and gas hot water.

If you want the complete rural easy care package (no pool to maintain and no grass to mow), don’t miss out on this unique property.
