On the southern slopes of Mount Barker hill stands a very impressive residence with a delightful mix of old and new. Firstly, there is the original three bedroom homestead connected by roofing to a newer wing – a fully self-contained one bedroom unit.
The configuration would work very well for extended families and visitors alike or as a “bed and breakfast” establishment – perhaps even as a rental.
As you would expect from a bygone era, ceilings are high, flooring is timber and there are some French doors off the spacious bedrooms. The newer section also features beautiful timber floors and high ceiling. Very nice too!
An all-weather verandah wraps around most sides and a timber decked patio, complete with roll down blinds, fronts the living area of the unit. Imagine the special spots from which you could savour the native gardens teeming with bird life and the panoramic vista all the way to the Porongurup Range.
Other features include a 50m bore with underground water suitable for human consumption, a dam, two soaks and four rainwater tanks. This magnificent 12 acre property is fully fenced and there are two paddocks where a few sheep and some inquisitive alpacas keep watch.
