After much debate and consideration, we have reluctantly decided to sell our much loved exquisite piece of paradise. Thus 170 acre property has the luxury of surplus water and is situated on a beautiful section of the Murray River which stretches for approximated 800m and makes up the northern border. Lane Poole Reserve jarrah forest serves as the eastern boundary and farmland as the other two borders. The property is completely secluded, no passing traffic, the only regular visitors are kangaroos and other native wildlife that are often seen passing by the windows while sitting in the lounge room.
The spectacularly rugged landscape of this property features a combination of cleared and parkland cleared areas, exposed granite boulders, natural jarrah forest and two year round streams, one of which meanders through the entire length of the property, bubbling through and over the many granite rock waterfalls and ending up feeding the Murray River. A pond that has been formed on its way down to the Murray River allow for the lawns and many fruit trees to be watered by reticulation from these streams.
This property is comprised of a variety of features – rocky outcrops, many natural vistas and spectacular panoramic views across the Murray River Valley and out to the coast, walk anywhere on this property and there is always something new to discover. After an invigorating walk over the property, a dip in the river’s natural pool right outside the front door might be on the cards, or just laze on the manicured lawn at the water’s edge, sipping on a cold drink, perhaps reading a book while enjoying the mesmerizing sound of the water rushing over the rocks. For something a little more energetic, drift on an air mattress down the river over the many rapids and waterfalls while enjoying the peaceful and scenic nooks and crannies that make up this beautiful river. Perhaps a little fishing for something different, the Murray River has it all, including marron and trout just waiting for the dinner plate.
The house is a place with a difference. This one bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 WC, 2 story dwelling has a huge entertainment room overlooking the river, a modern kitchen, and is designed and situated so that when indoors, the sound and beauty of the river can still be enjoyed. Provision has been made for extra bedrooms if necessary. A 460 sq meter shed (workshop) and undercover area is all under the main roof of the dwelling.
A property like this rarely comes on the market, complete solitude, yet only minutes away from a town with all conveniences, a short drive to the freeway and only 1.5 hours to Perth. Have your own piece of the wilderness and spend your days living your dream. Or, share it with others, the potential is enormous and limited only by your imagination , eg a retreat or rustic cabins.
