NEW LOW PRICE - STONE HOME IN STUNNING SETTING

Description

As the name implies this character stone, brick and iron home is set high on 6.64h with stunning pastoral views from every angle and almost every room in the house.

It offers a unique opportunity to have a country lifestyle without the challenges of running a farm. It would suit young families looking to get out of the city, baby boomers looking for the alternative lifestyle for themselves and their grandchildren, retiring farmers wanting a smaller property in a farming community, or teleworking professionals or artists looking for a tree change close to Perth.

Built between 1910 and 1920 the main part of the home is the same as it was then. Its features include:
- Wrap around verandahs on three sides
- Three very generous bedrooms with doors to the verandah
- A living/dining room with fireplace
- High ceilings and wide arched hallway typical of the period
- Timber floors are in place under the wall to wall carpet
- A garage is adjacent to the house.

A 1950s brick extension to Hillview added the kitchen/meals area, bathroom, toilet and laundry. Their 1950s colours, styles and shapes add a touch of retro nostalgia. They have been well maintained and are still functional. The kitchen has gas cooking. A new colour bond roof was put on the house in 2012.

Hillview is connected to the town scheme water supply and water is fed to both the house and a tank for stock.
A couple of horses or a few sheep would do well on the property and there is arable land for an orchard or vegetable garden if desired.

Set on a stunning granite outcrop with shallow rock holes, the property is dotted with rock sheoaks, York gums and jam wattles. A fenced waterwise garden, including planted local native species and sandalwoods, surrounds the house.
The adjoining property is a well run working farm with sheep and grain with good quality fencing between the two properties.

Hillview is just off the bitumen road that connects Meckering and Goomalling and is 5 minutes' drive to Goomalling and 25 to Northam. School buses run past the gate to the two primary schools in Goomalling and the two high schools in Northam.

Goomalling is a lively community with museum, historic Slater Homestead including art gallery, great cafe, two roadhouses, two historic pubs, golf course, swimming pool, 3 tennis clubs, 3 churches, child care centre, library, Community Resource Centre, hospital, medical and dental surgeries, bank, police station, volunteer ambulance and fire brigade, Historical Society, Lions Club, Landcare groups, arts and crafts groups, youth group - something for everyone and all interests.
