1371 Karnup Road, Serpentine, WA 6125 - More Details
Mid $3 Millions
This home provides an undeniable sense of peace and tranquillity from the moment you arrive. It's the kind of place where the stresses of the day begin to fade simply by driving up the long driveway.
Take in the views across expansive, lush green paddocks dotted with established trees and, by the time you reach the front door, you will be right where you want to be. Home.
The 4.2-hectare estate once operated as a dairy farm and has since evolved into one of Serpentine's most picturesque rural properties. Rather than erasing its past, the owners have thoughtfully incorporated elements of the original farm into the landscape.
The windmills, established farm buildings and beautifully maintained infrastructure give the property something that simply cannot be created from scratch. At the same time, the 2012-built residence provides all the comfort and quality you would expect from a high-end modern home.
It feels peaceful, private and wonderfully removed from everything, yet the Serpentine town centre, golf course and local pony club are only minutes away.
THE HOME
Positioned almost 300m from the road, the country-style home is extraordinarily private and generously proportioned. Outshone only by the breathtaking landscaped gardens that frame it perfectly, the timeless styling of the home is mesmerising.
When you experience this property for the first time, you might find yourself struggling to choose where to focus your attention. The gorgeous ornamental trees, the rolling lawns, the architecture… there is so much to take in.
Designed to honour the setting and history of the property, the layout and decor of the home is the perfect blend of practicality and beauty. French doors, solid timber flooring and coffered ceilings bring warmth and character to the home, while the separate living areas and study provide plenty of flexibility for family life.
The kitchen is at the heart of the main living area and offers an abundance of storage, expansive benchtops, an island breakfast bar and quality appliances, including a Miele oven and cooktop. It overlooks the dining and family spaces, creating a practical and welcoming central hub.
The master suite is particularly impressive, with corner windows framing the garden outlook, a walk-in robe and a beautifully finished ensuite featuring full-height tiling, twin vanities and extensive cabinetry. You will love the private courtyard which can be accessed from the master suite, providing the perfect setting for a quiet moment away from the busy activity of family life. Each of the remaining bedrooms feature built-in storage and are serviced by an equally well-presented family bathroom.
Wide verandas surround the home, providing many places to enjoy the views whilst keeping the summer heat at bay. You will be comfortable through all the seasons with ducted reverse cycle A/C taking care of climate control, and the large solar PV system keeps the power bills under control.
OUTDOOR LIVING
Words and photos simply don't do justice to the level of thought and planning it takes to create gardens this beautiful. Automatically irrigated by a top quality bore, every season offers something captivating to enjoy. The local bird community also echos this sentiment, with the gardens brimming with a plethora of different species who have taken up residence - you will never grow tired of observing the healthy eco system in your very own yard.
A large alfresco area provides an outstanding space for entertaining and the perfectly positioned lighting in the surrounding area allows you to enjoy the yards well after the sun has set.
There are a number of outbuildings to make use of and for those with big ideas, you will have plenty of options to set things up to your liking.
- The main shed was originally the dairy and parts of the approximately 70 year old structure have been preserved and upgraded to create a truly incredible work space.
- As you might expect on a property of this size, parking is a key element and you will not be left wanting with a colour bond shelter designed to accommodate cars, tractors, mowers, caravans… and anything else you might need protected from the elements.
- The stables were also part of the original dairy and have been upgraded with marine ply lining and interconnected yards.
- The 10m x 12m hay shed is another historic structure which is very practical, whilst also offering one of the nicest outlooks on the property. With a little creative design, this would make the perfect setting for a wedding or hosting on a big scale.
THE LAND
The fertile land is divided into numerous paddocks with top quality fencing, water troughs, two windmills and a licensed bore. Whether your interests involve horses, livestock or simply enjoying the space, the infrastructure is already here.
Equestrian facilities include two walk-in, walk-out stables with an adjoining feed room, plus a floodlit 60m x 20m dressage arena with a river-sand surface. Additional infrastructure includes two windmills supplying paddock troughs, approximately 250,000-litre rainwater tank, bore reticulated paddocks
LIVING HERE
This is much more than an impressive home on acreage. It is an established country estate with a genuine story behind it.
The dairy farm may have ceased operating long ago, but its character remains woven through the property. Combined with the magnificent gardens, quality family home and outstanding equestrian infrastructure, it creates a package that is both highly functional and remarkably beautiful.
Properties of this calibre are exceptionally difficult to find. This is rural living at its most picturesque - established, authentic and ready to be enjoyed.
