Escaping the rat race and enjoying the myriad benefits of living on a few acres doesn’t get more appealing – or easy – than this.

An outstanding hobby farm of 4.06ha, it is just 25 minutes from the city of Albany, but it is so peaceful and quiet it could be a million miles away.

Everything is in excellent condition and presentation right through the extensive property is just perfect.

The home, built in 1999 of Hardiplank and Zincalume, is reached by a driveway flanked by native gardens opening on to a lawn with feature Cocos palms. It sits amid attractive gardens and shares the house block with an adjacent building ideal for use as guest quarters or a granny flat.

At the front of the main home is a wide, sheltered deck with a pizza and smoker oven, and plenty of space for entertaining and family barbecues.

Inside, the home is comfortable and welcoming with stylish decor. A dining room overlooking the paddocks leads through to a modern kitchen with a Falcon gas range, a central bench and plenty of cabinets.

Next door is the generous lounge with a big wood fire, then the main bedroom with built-in robes and separate linen cupboard along one wall with adjoining room currently used as an office, but which would serve equally well as a nursery or dressing room – or it could be converted to an ensuite bathroom.

Both the second and third bedrooms are queen-sized, and an activity room running along the back of the house lends itself to many uses, including a fourth bedroom.

The bathroom is a big room incorporating the laundry, and the toilet is separate.

There is an abundance of power points throughout the home, which also has an emergency lighting system in the case of a power cut, ceiling fans in most rooms and reverse-cycle air conditioning.

Excellent floor coverings and floor tiling, and venetian blinds inside and shade blinds outside complete the picture.

In the quarters next door, the immaculate presentation continues. A central, comfortable open living area of lounge, dining and well-appointed kitchen opens onto various rooms – the pantry, bathroom and toilet, two bedrooms, and a storage room or third bedroom at the front.

At the back of the house are about 1.5 hectares of well-fenced enclosures for grazing sheep, goats, alpacas, and horses, and there are several built shelters and stands of peppermints as well as mature trees at the rear boundary. Another paddock at the front has electric fencing and a water supply.

The property enjoys good rainfall and water is plentiful from two tanks – one of 5000 litres and another of 100,000 litres, from which there is an automatic trough watering system – a bore for reticulation and a bore with excellent quality water.

Outbuildings consist of a big open-ended machinery shed with power, a well-constructed chook run near the house, a second chook or duck run and a garden shed with lean-to.

Various vegetable and herb beds with bird protection and a netted orchard of nectarines, plums, peaches, grapefruit, cherries and avocados are well established – and the latter is reticulated.

Eucalypts, peppermints and bottlebrushes along the front boundary provide privacy for this exceptional property, where security is also a priority.

Solar and infinity instantaneous gas water heating, a quadruple car port, a roof antenna and a satellite dish to pick up TV signal & Internet. These are other benefits of this highly desirable Redmond property.
