540 Laguna Vista Drive, Chidlow, WA 6556

Honestly, how lucky am I? Every day I can get in my car and go and see houses like this. And "this" in particular, is worth experiencing. It is 5 glorious acres, it is parkland cleared, it is a simply beautiful modern home with raked ceilings just swathed in light. It is a striking below-ground heated swimming pool with views, and it is a large, extra-height powered workshop for all your workshopy things. And on this one, rarely, it is even basic horse facilities to satisfy all your equestrian desires.

And all that, right near the magnificent Lake Leschenaultia with its cafe, walking trails and first-class mountain bike trails. This has a superb outlook as it is right next to a huge farm which allows you to feel like you are literally in a scene from an Aussie version of "Escape to the Country" but you are not even in the country. Right here is the peace and tranquillity you crave, and the house you dreamed of - that open plan design with all the mod cons and yet, a touch of, well, country.

I have sold several blocks in this magical location, and they have always been popular because the land and outlook is just so good. Through the entrance statement and past the Estate private lake, this property was the pick of the bunch I reckon - adjoining the farm, rising off the road gently and just the prefect blend of trees and pasture.

Thankfully, back in 2012 the owners had a dream and matched the quality of the house to the quality of the land so now that it's all developed, it's magic. And because of that, they provided you with a whopping 250sqm of living space inside, which given how little time I bet you spend inside, is an awful lot.

The house is open plan, and the pitched ceiling will absolutely stand out because it feels so grand. This is genuinely family sized - but if you don't have a family that's OK, you are about to make a lot of new friends. There are 4 really large bedrooms and a study or 5th bedroom, so you don't have to move more than 20ft to hit the office in your PJs. There is tons and tons of storage, there is a separate theatre, and then there is THAT dream kitchen. If you are going to make a room the centre piece of your home, you do it like this - it's got everything you need for the odd day you need to cook - i.e. when you are not off sneaking a plate at the Michelin Star restaurant just down the road. And the bathrooms - my favourite part of the house as they are lux! Full height, double shower heads, hotel style bathrooms make ALL the difference to the feel of a home and this one - nailed it!

So, as it turns out, and I have a sneaking suspicion it was planned, but the setup is fantastic for guests. And to the ones that say - "but you're moving so far away - it's a whole 45 minutes from town". When they find out they can go straight from their room into the pool, grab a coffee as they whiz by the kitchen on the way to feed the horse a carrot, I reckon they are going to develop car issues and won't be able to take the "long drive" home for DAYS. At least.

Two gates and two driveways at the front lead up to the house which sits up high and proud. You pass the chook hotel on the way up and the workshop is behind that again. It is all so well laid out and the views are exquisite - and I don't mean - hey look at that ugly skyscraper either. I am talking the rolling vistas, kangaroos, and red sunsets type of deal.

Speaking of which, your heated pool with said sunset outlook is good at all hours, because it's warm. As you age, like me, water gets colder. But no worries. There are solar panels, as well as a beautiful wood heater and a couple of large splits for cooling inside ensure you have all the creature comforts and mod cons. Oh, and there is an outdoor entertaining area with pull down shade screens too - which is critical as it means you can stay outside a lot longer, and you will. And finally, there is a double garage under the main roof too - around the back with an entry straight into the house. For when it's raining.

Horse wise, and don't get me wrong this is by no means a full equestrian setup, but it's got a lovely day stable in the paddock, lots of feed and a water trough, and is just the ticket for a horse and pony to get you to "Lake Lesh" on the trails. Indeed, the back 3 or so gated acres are arguably more stunning than the front, so imagine the delight you feel when you realise all that stuff behind the gate and fence is ALL yours. This is a darn good place to go for a walk or a ride. The horses in this family reckon it was just fabulous living here and they even left you some good compost to prove it.

So now what's next. Well, come and see it, and spoil yourself. Just buy this fantastic home, and you will be minutes from the Chidlow township and our swanky degustation Michelin star restaurant thank you very much, not to mention some of our very fine schools and shopping and so many markets you will be exhausted. 15 minutes from central Mundaring too so there is nothing else to say except perhaps it's your time to escape the rat race - this is your "one".

To see it, simply call to view - we'd love to show you around and we love private viewings so you can enjoy it at your leisure (plus I get to spend some more time there).
Don't wait though - as you might know, properties like this are selling "pretty well" at the moment.
