Wake to wonderful views across Oyster Harbour, gaze at amazing sunsets on the water, enjoy the birds, kangaroos and fresh air and bring up the family in a natural environment.
Gather fresh eggs from your own chooks, grow vegetables, plant an orchard, and keep a horse.
Those enviable opportunities await the new owners of a recently listed lifestyle block of 2.76ha (nearly seven acres) in beautiful Kalgan.
It’s a short drive away from the excellent beaches, fishing and water activities of Gull Rock and Ledge Point, within easy reach of Great Southern Grammar, and a 20-minute drive from Albany – though it feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Located among similar-sized lifestyle properties in Henty Road, this impressive block will have wide appeal – most notably to ex-farmers wishing to downsize without sacrificing the benefits of living on the land, and discerning home builders appreciating the finer things in life and wanting a residence to reflect their status.
With a frontage of about 164m and extending back about 172m, the land is regular in shape. It is mostly cleared, with well-drained soils and grassy pasture, allowing the owners to choose the perfect home site to take advantage of the vista and build a homestead worthy of the prestigious location.
A freshwater creek runs along the lower reaches of the gently sloping property. The creek is flanked by native bush, and a natural lake attracts an abundance of birdlife as well as providing plentiful water for gardens, an orchard and stock.
To protect the integrity of this distinctive area, a restrictive covenant on the home applies, under which the building footprint must not be less than 150sqm. However, there is no restriction on the timeframe for construction.
It’s easy to recognise the appeal of true lifestyle blocks such as this. Driving a few kilometres from the city to your own acreage – and a home you have built to fulfil your every need and whim – must be one of the best feelings in the world.
Now it’s within reach.
