What can I say about this mind-blowing 4.63ha or 11.5 acre property? Spectacular 360% views of your very own Karri forest and a glorious 3-storey home with several wide verandahs for your choosing.

Situated high on sloping ground, with the Porongurup National Park behind you as well as bush trails on your doorstep, you’ll never want to leave.

This is a lifestyle for the those of you wanting to pursue a more healthier body and mind. And lets face it, we could all do with some more ‘R’and ‘R’, to get back to nature and the simpler things in life.

In the heart of the wine country and a 40 minutes drive to Albany for the prestigious K-12 Great Southern Grammar School or only a mere 25 minutes to Mount Barker Community College. There’s options for all the family no matter their age.

The exceptional home will capture your heart on first glimpse. A manor amongst the forest beckoning you to explore every inch of it. Three storeys of fine craftsmanship and architecture perched on top of bush poles makes for an extraordinary living piece of art.

Knowing where to begin your journey will be your only worry.

A timber staircase leads you to one of three verandahs where sliding doors open allowing you to take your first step inside this magnificence. Jarrah floorboards throughout add further decadence as well as grand picture windows all around you to absorb the wonderland surrounding you.

The space is a designated open plan lounge come formal dining room with an enormous tile file and exposed beam that carries the uber high ceilings. An electric fan, multiple downlights as well as decorative pendants hang from the ceiling roses. The entire home is a piece of artwork.

Dual sliding doors are presented to give you the opportunity to barbecue and entertain on either the long front or side verandah. Spoilt for choice! One can imagine the sounds of the wildlife and the gentle wind through the trees whilst enjoying your morning coffee or nightcap each day.

From here there are two archways that join an expansive kitchen with its own store room with a huge array of storage cupboards. The area accommodates another dining table for casual dining options. More picture windows surround the kitchen sink to exploit those forest views even more so.

A stylish freestanding oven and gas stove with solid granite bench tops will have you baking for all your visitors waiting to explore your new abode. The perfect kitchen to keep all your wonderful friends and family full with culinary delights.

The magic continues, enter the hallway that takes you past the first queen bedroom with access to the main verandah. Decadent and stylish throughout, you’d believe you were in a glamorous bou-tique retreat. Opposite here you’ll find more storage cupboards and a spacious laundry with a cus-tom made timber vanity bench top and enormous shower.

Further down the hallway is a closed off passageway and a door to the toilet and vanity room. Larger than your average and in keeping with the grandness of all spaces in the home.

The hallway opens into a large lobby area with more sliding doors leading you onto the rear veran-dah, the perfect place to hang your laundry as it catches the breeze rolling down the hill.

At the end of the passageway, the second bedroom is enormous and accommodates space for its own lounge area for you to unwind and sink into a good book. This room has built-in robes and slid-ing doors that open out onto the verandah.

The concepts and creativity continue to flow as you turn the corner and follow the hallway towards the second part of the home – the master retreat!

A small set of wide timber stairs guides you into an extravagant and colossal master bedroom. High timber ceilings form a pitched roof with decorative windows. A walk-in robe, the size of the average single bedroom, plus an ensuite with a freestanding clawfoot bath allows you to sink into an oblivion whilst looking over the Karri trees. Bring a book and glass of champers and you’ll find yourself lost for hours.

These chambers have a designated seating area to accomodate two large arm chairs and table that oversee floor to ceiling windows and doors that open out onto your very own private balcony.

From this delightful master wing comes further surprises. Another set of timber stairs leads you up to the third floor where the loft space has been converted into an space to lounge and relax and to breathe refuge and life back into the soul. Timber structures allow this area to become a sanctuary within an already exisiting sanctuary. A fun place for the children to hideaway in or for teenagers to escape younger siblings and parents.

Decent the two flights of stairs and you’ll be taken aback by a further grand living area. An enormous lounge room resides underneath the master chambers and again with its very own private balcony completely secluded and private from the other wing of the home. Offering a overly indulgent parents retreat or guests haven or perhaps the place where you’ll unwind with guests after a formal dinner. The possibilities are endless and all for you to decide.

All trimmings and several surprise unmentioned features within the home take inspiration from the bushland and creates a showpiece home that compliments its surrounds and becomes one with the land. A fun place for children to explore and enjoy, to connect with the earth and live simply and happily.
