If you are looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature that is still only 25 minutes from the city, then this is the property for you. Living the good life has never been easier, when your eco-friendly home comes with enormous gardens, solar hot water, solar power, room to compost, keep chickens and no water-hungry lawns to mow!

This semi-rural bush block, hidden amidst tall stands of Marri and Jarrah trees is home to a delightful country brick cottage that oozes character and warmth. Surrounded by reticulated native gardens sprawling over more than half an acre, there are no ugly fences to impair your sweeping view of the hills, and plenty of space between you and your neighbours.

This comfortable home is full of character, from the stained glass cockatoos that grace the entry, to the horseshoes above the fireplace, and raked ceiling of the sunken lounge. The entry opens into a small room that could be used as an office or reading room, then to the left you step down into a sunken lounge with Jarrah floorboards and enormous built-in bookcase covering one wall. An archway leads into an open plan kitchen, living, and dining room, set off by slate floors with a cosy wood heater for winter, a reverse-cycle air conditioner, and large glass sliding door leading to the back verandah. The country kitchen features an island bench and wide windows looking out to the deck and gardens beyond. Off the kitchen is a shower, vanity and second toilet.

From the entry, a hallway leads to two compact but charming bedrooms, both with lovely views out to the gardens, the larger of which captures the best of the afternoon sun. The generous main bedroom features double built in robes, direct entry to the main bathroom, and glass sliding doors leading to a versatile office/study/sun room featuring large picture windows that overlook the property. All the bedrooms and both lounge/living areas have ceiling fans. A side entrance leads to the carport, and also a standalone room that is currently used for storage, but has been used as a laundry room (plumbing fixtures still remain).

Once outside the back door relax on the elevated deck, or follow meandering paths through formal and native gardens. Out of sight of the house you will find an enormous vegetable patch comprised of five 4x1m beds (with space for more), a pond, and a chicken house with a fox-proof fully enclosed run. The gardens are reticulated with bore water. At the back of the property, a super-size 6m x 9m shed offers the space for an extensive storage area, teenage retreat or workshop with three phase power. There is also a 1K solar power system, with 7 panels and a 2K inverter, meaning more panels can easily be added to the system.

Situated in the unique Homestead Ridge estate, associated covenants limit the felling of native trees, and ensure that none of the 2000+ sqm blocks can be subdivided. With the Wellard train station only 5 minutes away, it is an easy commute to Perth, 10 minutes to the cafes and shops of Rockingham and only 15 minutes from the beach.
