How do we rank an ideal lifestyle property’s worth? Position, privacy, good-sized home, manageable size of land, adequate heating/cooling, outdoor entertainment areas, a variety of sheds and fertile land, paddocks and infrastructure, a good balance of pasture and natural habitats and abundant good-quality water in an area with a good rainfall. Horse lovers will rejoice in the Taj Mahal stable as well, so that’s an added bonus for them!
This ~44.6164 ha/110.249-acre hobby farm falls under Albany Shire and is only a 23-minute drive from the Gledhow crossing coming into Albany, 29 minutes from Albany Airport and a quick 26-minute drive to beautiful Denmark, so position-wise, it’s pure gold. The cherry on top is that most of the route is on bitumen roads, with only 4.4km on a well-kept gravel road to your private enclave. Turn off at Hennings Rd from South Coast Highway, National Route 1, and you’re 7 minutes from home. Position and size? Tick that box. √
Most of the farms in this area are huge, mostly cattle farmers and tree growers, but somehow two smaller portions were subdivided many years ago, and this is one of them. A neat gravel road off Hunwick Road runs parallel past the first lifestyle property, an alpaca farm (821), and up to this one (819), which is situated on higher ground and enjoys total privacy. A gorgeous tree-lined entrance welcomes you, and a large, old tree in the enclosed yard near the home immediately creates an atmosphere of homeliness and peace. This carriageway is noted on the title deed as an easement with both benefit and burden, meaning it is a private road maintained by the property owners for access to their properties. See the deposited plan in the photo section. Privacy? √
The property boasts a neat 5x1x2 fibro-and-veneer home with large picture windows that allow beautiful views and light into every room. It’s a typical lifestyle home, so not very fancy, but it has a great, simple layout and can easily be updated/added to if needed. The old saying runs true: Position, plenty of water and privacy plus an ideal, manageable size of land is 99% of a lifestyle property’s value, so as long as the bones are good, you can change/upgrade as you wish over time. Your investment will stay secure. Manageable size of land and generous size home that can be renovated/added to? √
The wide, paved back patio receives beautiful morning sun, so it’s the ideal spot for your first cuppa or breakfast. A deep double, open-fronted garage/carport is on the far side of the home, allowing direct access from the side through the TV room/informal lounge.
A passageway leads you into the home with a large lounge on your left and the country kitchen directly ahead of you, complete with a walk-in pantry so big that it also houses the fridge.
A cosy dining area is next to it, and a large fireplace keeps the home beautifully warm in winter. Some of the firewood is gathered from fallen trees in the farm's forested areas, while other fallen trees and branches are left to create a healthy, natural habitat. Reverse cycle air-conditioning is also available throughout the home, and most of the roof has wool insulation, while a gas HWC services the home. Heating and cooling? √
The laundry is next to the kitchen with a door leading out to the large, roofed deck. The bathroom (shower, bath, toilet and basin) is next door.
The first, large bedroom with built-in cupboards, faces the back patio and is opposite the bathroom. The second bedroom (green bedding) is directly next door. The third bedroom is opposite bedroom 2 and faces the large deck (stripey blue bedding), and the 4th bedroom once again faces the back patio with lovely views over the large tree. A linen cupboard can be found at the end of the corridor.
From here, we turn right into a large second lounge/TV room, which leads to the garages/double carport and bedroom 5, a private bedroom facing the back patio. This area is ideal for grandies/older children as it gives them access to their own wing with a large lounge, direct entrance/exit through the garage and a private bedroom. Potential for intergenerational living? √
The very large, roofed south-facing verandah is one of this home’s most loved features, especially in summer. It curves around the side of the lounge and runs the full width of the home, offering a variety of seating and usage options, ideal for a big family. The elevated views from here are amazing! You overlook a large dam, trees and a paddock, over the neighbour’s back paddocks and fields to the side of their home in the distance, so you have a good amount of space between each other as the properties are a similar size. The neighbour’s house is near Hunwick Road and placed sideways, facing the road, so you can’t see into their home from the deck or from this house, and they can’t really see you. They farm alpacas and are eco-friendly farmers, so mindful of the environment – great neighbours to have! Large outdoor entertainment areas? √
The gorgeous, large and powered Colorbond horse shed was built by previous owners. It boasts a generous design with 4 stables, a tack and feed room, a concrete floor, and a hot- and cold-water wash bay with a vet crush, and will absolutely delight all horse lovers. There used to be a round yard with post-and-rail fencing around all the horse paddocks, now used for sheep, but it can easily be reinstated if the new owners have horses. Precious horses that deserve a 5-star dwelling? What a bonus - √ that box.
You’ll also find a medium-sized hay shed, a large, general-purpose machinery storage shed with a shearing area, cattle/sheep yards and an undercover crush area. Lime and fertiliser have been applied regularly over the years, so the paddocks are lush and green most of the year. A Variety of sheds and fertile land? √
There are many beautiful mature trees on this property, including pockets of natural forest with paperbark, jarrah, redgum, and aromatic tea-trees. An abundance of water and a generous share of natural areas provide a haven for our local birds, flora, and fauna. Natural bush pockets and abundant wildlife? √
This farmlet, smallholding/hobby farm is ideal for cattle, sheep, horses or alpacas – and/or small-scale crop growing like vegetables and fruit due to fertile soil, good rainfall and an abundance of water all year round. Roughly 35 ha of this farm is pasture. It’s all set up to continue your dream, with 7 paddocks and numerous connected troughs, while the home and land are serviced by 2 dams, excellent-quality bore water, and soaks. Abundant, good-quality water ticks the final box when looking for a lifestyle property. It’s a winner. √√
If you have school kids, there's an extra bonus for you. The Albany school bus picks them up at the bottom of the private road, and the Denmark bus picks them up on South Coast Highway. √
Qualified buyers (proof of pre-approved finance or cash) are invited for private viewings with the sole agent, Jess. Please book well in advance so we can accommodate everyone’s needs and ensure the dogs (and, more ferociously, the emu) are put away for your safety.
My sellers’ family live here as they truly treasure their privacy; our ideal buyers should feel the same.
