You don’t have to go far from town to enjoy the myriad benefits of a peaceful rural lifestyle on a few of acres with a charming country home.

So you’ll want to get in early and secure this 1.12ha holding in Robinson, right in among horse properties and near the renowned Stidwell Bridle Trail.

It’s all set up for horses, but you could just as well keep a few head of sheep, goats or alpacas along with your chooks and ducks.

Smartly clad in Weathertex with an iron roof, the home has been modernised and extended over the years, and still displays wide jarrah floorboards and high ceilings.

It takes in a terrific outlook over the property from the rooms at the back, and it’s tucked away off the road for privacy.

Living areas are spacious. They include an open family room and lounge, heated by a wood fire, and a sizeable dining room adjoining the stainless steel kitchen, which has a pantry and gas cooking.

A choice of two outdoor living areas will spoil the owners for choice – one is an undercover patio at the front, and there’s a more sheltered entertaining area at the side for barbies all year round.

All three bedrooms are big. The king-sized master has a walk-through robe to an en suite bathroom and one of the others has a walk-in robe. A corner bath with a shower over features in the main bathroom.

Outside, the infrastructure is all there to get the new owners off to a good start. There’s a high-clearance shed for the horse float or caravan, a 6m x 6m general-purpose shed, and a double carport near the house.

The land is fenced into lush, grassy paddocks with a few native trees at the boundary for shelter, and there are two stables and a round yard as well as a chook run.

Scheme water is connected and a well provides water for the gardens.

The house block is fenced and has zones for garden beds and composting, as well as recreational space and an assortment of fruit trees.

This is a delightful, multi-faceted property, which is sure to have wide appeal.

It presents an exceptional opportunity to purchase manageable land just five minutes’ drive from Albany’s CBD and near the coast of Princess Royal Harbour.
