As you enter the gates welcoming you to “Calingra” you could be forgiven for thinking you were miles from anywhere, despite Mundaring town centre being only minutes away. Pass by lush pastured paddocks, a sand horse arena and stables which are shaded by majestic 100 year old trees. Nearby and oozing character and history is the huge century old Jarrah barn. Previously used as a studio, and with council approval for such use, it has been re-roofed and insulated and is complete with disabled toilet, kitchen area and parking for up to 15 cars. The potential for this space is enormous and will surely appeal to the astute buyer.
The gracious farmhouse is nestled privately well into the property ensuring perfect seclusion. Surrounded by wide flowing verandahs and set in pretty and peaceful gardens, it is simply charming. Garden and natural bush vistas are on offer from many of the rooms, and the flexible and versatile floor plan would suit the largest of families or those seeking extra space. Authentic character touches are evident throughout and the renovations have been done in sympathy with the grand old character of this gracious lady.
The large farmhouse kitchen with timber bench tops and English Belling stove is the hub of the home and is a place where family will love to congregate. Alternatively, entertain family and friends around the large salt water pool or simply relax on the verandah and gaze upon the serenity before you.
Located in close proximity to Heritage walk trails, Mundaring and the Parkerviille Equestrian Centre and with the extra added bonus of previous subdivision approval for a 5 acre lot to be split off from the property, “Calingra” offers the ideal lifestyle opportunity. Rarely do properties with such authentic history, grace and charm become available in the Perth hills, so do not hesitate.
