Description
Almost fifty acres of bush and open parkland form the setting for this extraordinary land holding in the Perth Hills, approached via a long driveway that winds through scattered eucalypts before cresting to a well-maintained shed home and outbuildings and a cleared building envelope of around 7.1 acres – the highest point of the property. The existing accommodation offers genuine comfort and practicality while you plan a permanent residence that meets the demands of this exceptional site.

The opportunity to build on a site of this quality is uncommon enough; to do so with comfortable three-bedroom accommodation, powered outbuildings for storage and work, an established orchard and a chicken run already in place is rarer still. The view from the building envelope is genuinely arresting. A canopy of eucalypts runs to the east, layer upon layer of green giving way to distant ridges that shift colour through the day as the light moves across them. Wedge-tailed eagles ride the thermals above, dark shapes tracing slow arcs across an open sky, and grass trees, some centuries old, punctuate the margins of the clearing like sentinels that have watched this country through everything.
The existing home has been recently updated, with fresh paint, a new wall oven, and split AC units. Three bedrooms, a study nook, a combined kitchen and meals area, a family room, a bathroom and two separate WCs provide all the essentials without pretension. The family room anchors the living spaces with a slow-combustion fireplace that will carry the house through a Hills winter with ease, and the newly paved north- and east-facing verandah extends the living area into the landscape, making the view a daily participant in domestic life rather than an occasional backdrop.
The main bedroom benefits from semi-en-suite access to the bathroom – a practical arrangement that suits the building’s scale well. Air conditioning serves the main living zones and bedrooms, and the overall presentation is clean and considered: this is a functional base from which the property’s larger project can be planned and monitored in comfort.
Beyond the shed home, the property’s operational infrastructure is substantial. A powered shed doubles as a teens’ retreat or gym. A separate high-clearance workshop is fitted with evaporative cooling, a mezzanine and a vehicle hoist, making it a serious asset whether you’re building, running a home business, or simply keeping on top of 49.47 acres.
The almost fifty acres is perimeter-fenced, and water security is well considered. A bore and 100,000 litres of rainwater tank capacity feed the home, and the surrounding lawn, chicken coop and enclosed orchard are reticulated – a meaningful foundation for whatever comes next, whether that is an expanded garden or an orchard extension.
A mixture of open grassed parkland and native bush gives the property both its expansive character and its ecological richness. Kangaroos, echidnas, parrots and cockatoos move through the land with the ease of creatures entirely at home here – the kind of daily encounter with wildlife that is increasingly difficult to find within reach of the city. For families, the space offers something harder to quantify but no less real: room for children to grow, play, learn and explore on their own terms, in a landscape that rewards curiosity.
Privacy is as close to absolute as this proximity to Perth allows. A single neighbour is briefly visible on the drive in – after that, the property is entirely its own world.
Properties that combine scale, outlook and infrastructure of this order are genuinely rare. 49.47 acres, a building envelope of this quality and everything already in place to live and work comfortably from day one is a unicorn proposition. Views like this are finite by their nature; there is only so much high ground, and this is some of the best of it.
