Simply Breathtaking
Imagine it's dusk… And as the blue and pink colours fill the sky - or perhaps even in winter as the mist descends through the valley - you're sitting in your 25 metre long infinity pool, glass in hand with only the sound of the forest to disturb you. That, is 20 Ocean View Parade, Gooseberry Hill.
At the western edge of Perth's Darling Range, some 300 metres above sea level, the leafy suburbs of Kalamunda and Gooseberry Hill rise and look out across the broad coastal plain. Winding around to the north-east of the settlement, where the houses start to vanish and the rolling jarrah hills dominate the approach, stands a house with not just privacy and secludedness in spades - but a breathtaking vista of an unspoilt natural wonderland to the east and the gentle, leafy slopes of the Helena Valley to the north.
This area has long been renowned for its seclusion and tranquillity - its detachedness from the city, while being just 23kms away from the CBD - becoming rarer by the year. This property, however, takes it one further.
Built in 2004 and imbued with a quintessential turn-of-century, country-esque architectural style synonymous with many rural estates of its era, the almost 7,000 m2 property offers a rewarding lifestyle and uncomplicated living.
Inside, you're greeted by a handsome entrance gallery where wooden floors and high ceilings form a natural divider of a house of two halves: On the one side stands your master bedroom with adjoining ensuite and spa, and large entertainment room, each looking out over the stunning valley below.
On the opposite side of the hallway, running neatly across the southern side, contains the remaining large bedrooms, each with spacious built-in robes. Interwoven into the plan, the bedrooms are joined with a study nook, activity room, bathroom and laundry all tucked away nicely.
The main living areas are expansive and filled with light. The vaulted, 'A' Frame architecture accentuating the abundance of space. The large chef's kitchen completes the setting and allows further views out over the cascading infinite pool. When people say 'open plan living' this is truly what they mean.
Outside, this property yields many options for the buyer with vision. Beneath the property a fertile olive tree grove provides a pleasing canopy, while closer to the alfresco a granite-like water feature adds further presence.
Then there's the 3-car garage, the oft-visiting families of local kangaroos, the endless options for leisure in the trails and streams of the valley and forest below.
Most pertinently, there's the ever-present sense that you're above all the noise and busy-ness of Perth's growing urban sprawl. And that's because you are!
If that all sounds like you, then we warmly invite you to view 20 Ocean View Parade, Gooseberry Hill at your earliest convenience.
