The magic that this home exudes doesn’t come from just one feature, a single crowning glory, but a whole array of character filled elements that work together in seamless harmony. 100 year old Marri and Jarrah recycled from the region features heavily in the home, which adopts the warmth and rustic beauty that only homes with floorboards, exposed beams and soaring cathedral ceilings can take on.
Charming anecdotes like the 50 cent pieces under the exquisite exposed beams for good luck make the home all the more personality filled. Then there are the bountiful gardens that will supply you with organic goodness, providing an abundance of juicy sweet fruit, and veggies that can feed an entire house from the almost commercial sized veggie garden and two shade houses. You can even put smoky goodness into fish and meats from your own custom smoking house.
The wholesome rammed earth home lies on a huge 4967 square metre block at the end of a bushland cul de sac, a regal limestone and iron gated entry and long pea gravel driveway loop provides an air of exclusivity.
Stepping inside the home, a wood lined entrance hall is warm and homely, the slate flowing continuing the rustic chic look. At the heart of the home lies the massive oven plan living area which lies under the canopy of the cathedral ceilings with glass observatory windows, a hearty wood fire and double French door access out to the observatory deck. The vista from this area is the stuff of dreams, a combination of natural bushland, lush green paddocks and a sparkling lake.
A lounge area glances over this area before a partial divider wall sets apart the cosy dining area, the window box breakfast bar which takes in this view, and the solid wood country kitchen with gas oven and stove.
There is outdoor access from a doorway just beside the kitchen, as well as the laundry which adjoins the area, and the area also boasts a huge walk in larder.
Delving deeper into the home, a hallway introduces plenty of storage and three spacious bedrooms, one double and two king size, the master featuring robes, a dressing table nook and huge windows overlooking the land around you. An extra treat for the senses is the bird life which I’m told greets you with vibrant energy bursts every morning.
The homes bathroom is nicely refurbished, with an impressive curved glass shower cubicle, mirrored medicine cabinet, towel hamper box and large vanity.
Ascending up a solid jarrah staircase, you happen upon a loft style activity room which would also work perfectly as a shared kid’s bedroom and overlooks the living area.
Outside, full length paved verandas, private courtyards and quiet places for reflection abound.
The house sits beside a massive double garage, with an extra height roller door, three phase power, separate workshop and adjoining converted flat with a queen size bedroom, shower, toilet and kitchenette.
This house is more than a little bit of heaven. It caters for hobbies, home makers and environmentalists. At one with nature, you will be rewarded on a daily basis with nature surrounding you.
