For those amongst us who bleed country, crave the wide open spaces, surrounds of bushland and undulating paddocks, those who enjoy a simple wholesome no frills lifestyle, living off the land and enjoying every moment, this is the property for you.
It’s a humble home that conjures up images of friendly neighbours popping around for a cuppa or a cup of sugar, boisterous childhoods making the most of the iconic tyre swing which hangs ready, and days of good honest work tending your stock or produce on the just over 17 acres of quality pasture.
Located a zippy 20 minute drive from Albany, this nifty lifestyle property is a great way to get your foot into the door for a memory making lifestyle property without the hefty price tag. Some of the perks, and there are plenty, include stunning views towards the Porongurups, a nicely enclosed homestead block with front gardens of rosemary, lavender, daisies and orchards and a rear patch of lawn that is perfect for protected child’s play.
There is the private and peaceful bush surrounds, the shaded and netted veggie patch and mini orchard and bird aviary/chook pen.
Finally there is partly refurbished home, with the exterior of the home showcasing updated mocha toned cladding, and the bathroom including a beautiful modern gloss white vanity. The features floorboards, fours spacious rooms and big windows overlooking the countryside.
Stepping inside the home you are welcomed into a formal lounge room, where the wood fire takes centre stage and would create a cosy environment when the rain comes down.
Continuing through the home, you happen upon a combined kitchen and dining area, with a breakfast bar dividing the two, and an older style kitchen with wood grain cabinetry, a large pantry and an upright gas oven and stove.
The world is your oyster when it comes to transforming this space- you could achieve greatness on a budget with a stylish kit kitchen and DIY, or go all out and bring a little luxury into your country life with a suave new set up.
Spaced along a central hallway are the homes four rooms, one king sized, one queen and two doubles, with two featuring built in robes and all of them with character floorboards. A lick of paint and some new curtains, and they will be ready to take on your decor theme.
The homes bathroom, complete with its shiny new vanity would benefit from a continued transformation- a quick retile job and some fresh paint and it too will shine around the shower, separate bath and medicine cabinet.
Finally, a spacious laundry with a loo, outdoor access and plenty of linen storage space complete the interior.
The land around you has the potential for so much- from a small scale boutique produce production, hobby stock, or just room to stretch your legs and enjoy life.
