Overview

Where the Morning Sun Meets the Balingup Mist

The property is accessed via a magnificent tree-lined driveway that offers a profound sense of seclusion. The residence is constructed from natural Donnybrook stone and is set within manicured grounds that feature the soft elegance of David Austin Roses alongside a spectacular array of deciduous trees. These trees provide a theatrical display of colour throughout the seasons, ensuring that the view from every window is unique and ever-changing. A Tuscan water fountain adds a tone of Mediterranean tranquility before reaching the front door.

Inside, the home combines heritage warmth with a modern noir aesthetic. The kitchen is a bold statement for culinary enthusiasts, featuring a sleek black design complemented by pale Caesarstone benchtops and a black sink with vintage-style taps. It includes a premium Smeg oven, blending high-performance modernism with the home's historic character.

A grand timber staircase adds a sense of grandeur, enhanced by ornate chandelier lighting that casts a warm glow over polished wooden floorboards. The living space boasts massive dual-aspect, pane-less windows that frame the seasonal foliage outside.

The master suite, considered the emotional heart of the home, is located on the lower level and features French doors that open to the crisp Balingup air and views of a weeping willow. This level also includes two spacious bedrooms, one with French doors leading outside and the other adorned with chandelier lighting and soaring high ceilings. The main bathroom offers a nostalgic design with a claw-foot bath, pedestal basin, and freestanding shower. The laundry is a functional yet elegant space, finished with wooden cabinetry.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms or versatile living spaces feature dramatic timber vaulted ceilings. These rooms share a bathroom and have individual air conditioning for year-round comfort. One bedroom benefits from the warmth of an exposed chimney, providing a cozy retreat during winter months.

Additional interior features include a feature bush pole, wood fire, luxury honeycomb blinds on the pane-less windows, hallway storage, and a timber ceiling with exposed beams in the open plan kitchen and living area.

The gardens outside are a sensory masterpiece with a seasonal palette that changes like a living painting. Multiple seating areas allow for peaceful enjoyment of the surroundings. The property spans 2.87 hectares (7.09 acres), is fully fenced, and includes two separate paddocks, ideal for hobby farming.

Water storage is ample, with a large 300,000 litre water tank supplied by rainwater catchment and a bore, supplemented by two smaller tanks near the shed.

Exterior features include wrap-around verandas, extra studio accommodation with a pot belly fire, a fenced house yard, a windmill, a shed approximately 10m by 8m with power and a concrete floor, a lean-to along the entire length of the shed for additional storage, a carport, a garden shed, a chicken run, a wisteria walk, and a recently added water tank behind the shed designed for gravity feed once connected.

Located a short drive from the charming Balingup township, this property offers a rare combination of calibre and character, providing a tranquil sanctuary in a picturesque setting.
