Take a closer look at this 5×2 recently renovated farmhouse on a 10 acre parkland property in a peaceful secluded location 3km from the Great Eastern Highway and 4km from the centre of the Bakers Hill township.

Offered to rent at between $380 and $400 per week depending upon how many people and animals will reside on the property. Pet bond will apply. A small number of horses may be permitted and outdoor only dogs and so on. Inspections by personal appointment on weekends preferred.

Ready to go for that person keen to start a hobby farm or pamper their ponies without having to wait for a house to be built on a land holding that has plenty of scope to be improved in the future. Paddocks have plenty of feed and water troughs with some reticulation, and plenty of firewood for over winter. Other features include small bird aviary, covered carport/stable, and large fenced chicken pen or dog enclosure, fruit trees and the beginnings of a raised vegetable or herb garden.

For the humans you’ll find a tidy single-storey weatherboard and iron fully-insulated house in the centre of the block with a large open plan central living space. On one end of the house is two large bedrooms, each with a wardrobe, and a study nook and laundry. Down the hall the other way there are two smaller bedrooms, the family bathroom and toilet, also accessible from the outside for easy access after working in the garden or with animals, and last but not least a dedicated master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite. The house is recently repainted throughout and well maintained, including having all carpets and laminate flooring only one year old.

The house is serviced by telephone, electricity and mains water. For the warmer months you have both a ducted evaporative air conditioner throughout the home, and a refrigerated air conditioner box in the living area. In winter you have a coonara box wood heater that comfortably warms the entire home for free using the plentiful amount of firewood you can harvest from the property. Cooking and hot water is electric and the kitchen is fitted with a dishwasher.

The house has a verandah on two sides, accessible from the master and the kitchen, and elevated patio area that privately overlooks your gardens and paddocks.

Speaking of paddocks, the 10 acres of land gets you lots of them for rotating your animals or keeping different stock apart. There are three large paddocks at the front and a further four towards the rear of the triangular block. All are fenced with gates and most paddocks have reticulation and bathtub feeders already in place, and there is a disused winter well and shed at the rear of the property that could be re-instated. On this parkland block there are many mature shade and fruit trees and a chicken or dog pen near the house.

Tenants will be required to maintain the grounds including firebreaks and such upkeep in order to maintain your privacy.

On top of that there is large lockable three-phase powered workshop connected to a carport and covered stable, plus additional smaller storage sheds.

The property is located east of Bakers Hill, which means you have your choice of the expanding town centres of Northam in less than 20 minutes, or Mundaring in 30 minutes. Should you have ties to Perth City, you could be there in just over an hour. Bakers Hill itself has its own services of course, including a primary school (or Northam for high school), shop, cafe, pub, hardware, pharmacy, vet, petrol station, and post office.
