This 975sqm limestone mansion is built on a rare picturesque 8.27 hectare property, set high on the hills with views of Perth City, Garden and Rottenest Islands and the Indian Ocean. The workmanship throughout the home is impeccable. Decorative ponds in front of the house, pleasant, shady picnic areas and a variety of organically grown herbs and produce for the kitchen, combine to make the garden a very special feature of this remarkable home.

The property is situated only 45 minutes from Perth CBD and 35 minutes from Perth International Airport. The home is a combination of quarry cut Moore River limestone and extensive use of a variety of Australian timber including West Australian jarrah and Victorian ash.

With state forest to the rear, kangaroos and other wildlife are regular visitors.
