People hankering for a few acres to grow their own produce, keep chooks and a horse, and work on vehicles or machinery will find all they need in this appealing property just 10 minutes from the centre of Albany.

The well-established semi-rural property comes with a long list of features, including a cleared and fenced block of 1.34ha, a comfortable family home and big sheds and workshops.

The land is fenced into two sections, one at the front with the house block and the other at the rear – a well-fertilised paddock, ideal for running a few stock or keeping horses.

A sealed driveway leads to the Hardiboard and Colorbond home, which is set well back from the road behind neat lawns and has a dome-roofed carport near the main entrance.

Though the home has been restored since its construction in the 1960s, it still displays original character features such as jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, and big timber-framed windows in the rooms at the front, which let in the lovely view over rural land and out towards Torndirrup National Park.

A comfortable lounge leads to the adjoining dining room and around to the kitchen, which has beautiful bench tops of natural-edge sheoak, a dishwasher, gas stove and pantry.

Along the hall are the three double bedrooms, the bathroom with bath, shower, toilet and basin, and the laundry. There’s also a good-sized versatile room for games, family activities or hobbies, with windows on both sides and a wall of built-in jarrah shelving.

Doors from both the games room and the dining room open onto a huge undercover patio – perfect for big family gatherings – at the rear of the house.

Beyond the patio are the veggie patch, chook run and various productive fruit trees to keep the family supplied with fresh produce all year.

The excellent outbuildings will be another major attraction for an ex-farmer, tradesperson or serious hobbyist.

One 8mx8m shed, currently used for woodwork, has a carport at the side, and the main shed/workshop is 9mx14m, with a lean-to along the front and 4m high doors allowing access for big vehicles. Both sheds have three-phase power, lighting and shelving.

In addition, there’s an old jarrah-framed stable of 9mx5m, which could easily be brought back into service.

The land is all cleared except for stands of tall native timbers for shelter at the rear boundary. It is a level block with excellent drainage and the fencing is in good condition.

Space abounds for parking vehicles from the caravan and boat to big trucks, and the owners have developed the property to be manageable and productive.

An abundance of power points, fresh decor, wall and ceiling insulation, solar water heating and good built-in shelving add to the appeal of the home, while the versatility of the land provides opportunities for a variety of horticultural and agricultural enterprises.

Schools, shops, TAFE, sporting facilities and all the attractions of the city are within easy reach of this property, which promises a rewarding country lifestyle for astute new owners.
