Do you live in the metropolitan area and are growing tired of peak hour traffic snarls, smog in the air, well being and safety of your children and security of your property? Make a change and consider this semi-rural property and start enjoying the clean air, friendly neighbours and only one set of traffic lights. This property is less than 3km from Northam’s town centre so it’s close enough for the kids to ride their bikes to school but far enough out to be away from hustle and bustle. Take an evening stroll along the banks of the Avon River, just 100m away, and tranquil views of Mount Ommanney.

The accommodation comprises a 3 bedroom home, the main bedroom having a huge walkin robe, open plan lounge/kitchen, vestibule to hang your coat and hat and kick off your boots, large semi-detached outdoor family room enclosure and store room on the front verandah big enough to be a study or sewing room There’s a toilet in the bathroom and second loo outdoors adjacent the laundry. Two new reverse cycle split air conditioners have recently been installed, cooking and hot water heating are both gas.

The land comprises three separate green title lots each being a quarter acre (1,012m2) so there’s loads of space for the dog or cat, chooks, pet lamb or goat, horse or kids minibike motor-cross track. One of the lots has a well and pump house that produces abundant water that, when the owner tasted it, didn’t make him sick and the chooks are still alive. The other lot contains sheds galore; a 6m x 5m lockup workshop with power and concrete floor, a 3 car bay open front garage with storage section, other enclosures and pens.

If you aren’t interested in such a large landholding consider on-selling the two lots either side of the house lot. Vacant land in this neighbourhood fetches about $60 000 for a quarter acre block.
