Designer home comes with its OWN footy field
A designer homestead in the middle of the Western Australian bush has been listed for sale, and its expansive 100-acre surroundings comes with its own private football oval.
The home, with its “contemporary industrial meets country resort” aesthetic, took its creator five years to construct.
“The purpose-built property is a model of the perfect country retreat dreamed up by its owner, who is an architect and university lecturer,” Nick French, of Dethridge Groves Real Estate, said.
“It’s seamless and all the spaces are huge, which gives a very relaxed flow, and it all sits within a pristine bush setting with no other houses in view.”
Along with its three bedrooms and bathrooms, the home boasts oversized entertaining spaces, a library and study, and a courtyard garden and plunge pool belonging to the master suite.
The property also comes with a two-storey bunkhouse with two full-sized bedrooms of its own.
Despite being only an hour from the city, the property has an isolated feel.
“The 100 acres of ever-changing natural bush land has many, many species of flowering natives - including some rare orchids,” Mr French said.
Though the natural beauty surrounding the home is a huge bonus, the highlight of the outdoor spaces has to be the quarter-sized AFL oval, along with its own seating for spectators “to take in all the fun”.
“There’s also a huge rear entertaining patio with built-in barbeque area and woodfired pizza oven,” Mr French said.
With a solar energy system and water tanks capable of storing 90,000 litres, he added that the home also has a 10-star energy rating.
“The owners have moved to new employment positions in Victoria and had to sell up both their main home and this holiday home,” Mr French said.
“It might not be the place you immediately think of when buying a holiday home or a weekender, but it’s only an hour drive from Perth but is completely secluded on its own huge land holding of diverse, native bushland.
“The local town is utterly delightful with a number of historic buildings.”
The home is open for inspections by appointment, and Mr French said he is welcoming offers starting at $1.7 million.
