This tree studded 6.1ha (15 acre) property is ideally located in the heart of Hamelin Bay approximately 4km from beautiful Hamelin Bay and boat ramp and a short 4.5km drive to the Karridale General Store and Tavern.
Hamelin Bay/Karridale is unique rural lifestyle and coastal locality in the beautiful South West Region of Western Australia. This appealing property benefits from being, not only in close proximity to Hamelin Bay, but also within easy access of the Boranup National Park, ancient caves, walk/cycle trails and the pristine Boranup Beach. Whilst being private and secluded, the property is only a short drive from Karridale and Augusta, both of which have primary schools and shopping facilities.
The character dwelling comprises a renovated Group Style home that has a newer two storey addition. The original home is of a timber framed and weatherboard construction with an iron roof whilst the addition is a limestone and rendered masonry structure also with an iron roof. The accommodation consists of four huge bedrooms, ensuite bathroom and an office all over two levels of the newer addition and a large living room, renovated kitchen, sun-drenched dining room, laundry, bathroom, office and storage areas in the original residence.
The entry to the home is located on the ground floor into a separate entry hall from which the newer part of the home is accessible. Privately located to the right as you walk in, is an office and to the left it leads into original residence, although you would never guess as it has been tastefully finished and flows comfortably to the large living room and kitchen area. The master bedroom is tucked away at the end of its own walkway while the remaining bedrooms are a short climb up the Jarrah staircase, so they are private and well located away from the master suite.
The living room is huge and has polished Jarrah floorboards and raked Pine ceilings on exposed Jarrah rafters with the slow combustion heater providing not only warmth, but cosines on those winter days. A reverse cycle air-conditioner is also located in the living area. The very functional kitchen is within the enclosed verandah of the original home and is spacious and recently refurbished. It has feature Jarrah windows, quality appliances and ample bench space and cupboards (also of Jarrah).
The master bedroom is spacious with huge windows capturing the treed aspect making you feel miles away from everything, plus the ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe. The two larger bedrooms upstairs can easily accommodate queen beds and also have the feeling of peacefulness and isolation with an additional smaller bedroom which was originally proposed as a bathroom. With this still an option, the home can easily have that extra bathroom with a bit of extra adjustments. These bedrooms have built-in robes, large windows and a mezzanine sleeping or activity area.
The main bathroom downstairs provides a shower and timber vanity with basin with the walls and floor being tiled. For the days when you need additional amenities, the extra bath (and shower) within the laundry is very handy. It also features an original double cement trough and storage shelving.
The beautiful home with the timbers of the South West as a backdrop, exudes character and provides loads of accommodation for a large family or the ideal getaway but still with all the mod-cons.
A private, paved patio area gives an alternative to indoor dining as well as the shady verandahs which wrap the house on most sides. There is always a peaceful place to enjoy this lovely location.

*A double carport (approximately 8m x 8m) with a concrete floor, two limestone walls and an iron roof. Power is connected to this carport
*A large machinery shed (approximately 20m x 10m) and constructed with a steel and timber frame, concrete floor and corrugated iron cladding to three sides and the roof. Power is connected to this shed
