This beautiful 190 acre property just 10kms north of Walpole on the South Western Highway takes its name from the crystal clear water that’s literally running out of the hills. The property is comprised of two different blocks, the 70 acre homestead block is set high on what was Karri forest and a lower lying 120 acre block with its abundance of sweet crystal clear water, perfect for summer grazing and supplying the established marron ponds provides for year round sustainable farming.

Although the farm is currently carrying beef cattle, with its well-drained karri loam on the homestead block it could be well suited to more intensive land use such as avocados or truffles.

The homestead block has two 3 bedroom homes, an enclosed concrete floor shed with power and an open front 3 bay general purpose shed. Rainwater tanks supply water to the two houses and dam water is available for the house gardens. In addition, a 20 solar panel array supplies electricity to both houses and feeds excess power into the mains grid. For additional peace of mind there is also a back-up generator powered by an ever reliable Yanmar diesel engine.

The main house is of double brick construction featuring bay windows and soaring vaulted ceilings in the separate living and formal dining rooms. The open plan kitchen/dining/living area is readily accessed off the back verandah and looks out onto well-established gardens. The kitchen showcases beautifully crafted jarrah cabinets, feature brickwork, an induction wall oven and cooktop, and a well-stocked pantry. In the dining/living area a slow combustion wood heater is equipped with a ‘wet back’ that provides backup to the solar hot water system and should the need ever arise, there is also an electric booster. Floors throughout the home are of jarrah boards and tiles, a practical solution for a working farm. All bedrooms are of double size with built-in robes and the ensuite off the main bedroom has a country sized spa bath and a separate shower recess.

The second home features a fully ducted air-conditioning system, a central living, dining and kitchen area, internal laundry and verandahs on three sides. This home is currently leased and provides additional income for the current owners. Alternatively, the second home could be used for extended family and/or friends.

The extensive garden and lawn areas as well as the pastoral views with forest backdrops from both homes are a superb place to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labours. The many attractions and activities available in this pristine part of WA are an added bonus.
