Less than 10 minutes from Albany’s CBD, this extensive real estate parcel of 4.67 hectares (approx. 11.7 acres) with a substantial main home, two other unapproved dwellings but with potential for future use and a whopping 500 sqm trade shed is a fantastic option for anyone craving a rural lifestyle with the convenience of living on the City’s doorstep.
It is an attractive lifestyle holding, ideal for grazing livestock, or a functional property for tradespeople needing a shed and space for parking trucks.
Located on the corner of Chester Pass Road and Harvey Road, the property is zoned general agriculture. It is mostly flat and fenced into two grassy paddocks with a long, gated driveway leading to the main home and the shed.
With an outlook over the surrounding rural land and views to the Porongurup Range, the very large main house includes a spacious open living area with a wood fire, a separate lounge/theatre, games room, dome-roofed patio and a versatile first-floor living room. The big kitchen is fitted with white cabinetry, a dishwasher and pantry and has direct access to the generous sized double garage.
A semi-en suite shower room and walk-in robe are off the master bedroom and a second bathroom, with spa bath, is shared by the three other double bedrooms, all with robes. There is also a separate office/study located near the main entrance to the home with its own external access.
Sited well away from the home is the impressive steel shed with a roller door and two truck doors, power, good lighting and a rain water tank.
There are two other structures on the property that were previously used as dwellings but not currently permitted for habitable use. However, there are other options for their use that can be explored and applied for through the City of Albany. For example, the fibro cottage closest to the main house, with its own 10m x 5m powered shed and a carport, has potential for utilisation as ancillary accommodation (subject to City of Albany approval). It has jarrah floorboards and high ceilings and currently consists of a lounge, sunroom or dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms, laundry and bathroom. This structure is approved for use as Tearooms. The other separate brick and tile structure may possibly be used as an outbuilding (eg for storage) or for another purpose that relates to the land’s rural use (subject to City of Albany approval).
This is a multi-faceted, highly appealing holding with exciting prospects for a far-sighted owner-occupier or investor recognising the many options on offer. Please contact Lee Stonell on 0409 684 653 or lee@merrifield.com.au to discuss your interest today.
