Set on a picturesque 24.85 hectares (61.4 acres), this property offers a rare opportunity to secure a rural lifestyle in the tightly held Elleker area. Backing onto the Marbelup Brook and just 2km from the Elleker Store, it is ideally located only 15 minutes from Albany's CBD and within easy reach of stunning local beaches. Combining natural beauty with practical rural living and agricultural productivity, this property is the perfect blend of space, practicality and tranquillity.
From the moment you turn into the driveway, you'll feel a sense of arriving at something truly special. As you pass by the shearing shed you enter an enchanting canopy of trees which leads you to the house and its beautiful well maintained gardens and manicured lawns tucked behind the picturesque Marbelup Brook, which flows fresh all year-round.
Expansive lawns and stunning gardens create an inviting, old-world charm, with a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees enhancing the serene atmosphere. The established orchard boasts a variety of fruit trees, including avocados, apricots, and grapes, perfect for those who enjoy homegrown produce. Imagine picnics on the lush green lawns, soaking in the peaceful rural setting with the brook bubbling near by!
Tucked away amidst lush gardens, the 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom timber-clad home offers space, character, and plenty of potential. Jarrah floorboards run through most of the home, and the bedrooms are generously sized. The kitchen boasts beautiful garden views, timber cabinetry, a 600mm gas oven, and a built-in pantry, flowing seamlessly into the dining area. A separate lounge room, warmed with a wood fire, provides additional space for the whole family. A dedicated study offers a quiet space for work or hobbies. The bathroom includes a bathtub, while linen cupboards offer ample storage. The large laundry has direct outdoor access for convenience. Outside, a verandah surrounded by greenery creates a private oasis, perfect for unwinding.
The 25ha farm itself is thoughtfully laid out and well-maintained with good fertiliser inputs and weed control. It features five larger, well-fenced paddocks, plus smaller holding paddocks near the house-ideal for horses, goats etc. The rich, fertile peaty soils of Elleker combined with the high rainfall offer excellent potential for agricultural diversification or intensification. The property currently runs cattle on agistment and is rotationally grazed.
Infrastructure is well-established, with electric fencing powered off the mains, a reliable older shearing shed, and functional cattle yards complete with a loading ramp. Water security is a highlight, with two permanent soaks, a spring-fed dam, and troughs supplied by a tank at the sheds. The home and gardens are serviced by rainwater from two large concrete tanks. A machinery/general-purpose shed behind the house provides additional storage and workspace.
