The friendly town of Narrikup (meaning Place of Abundance) is conveniently situated 15 minutes by car from Mt Barker and only 28 minutes from Albany via Albany Highway. You can enjoy a peaceful life surrounded by big farms and wineries yet close enough to all major amenities. This spacious home is currently tenanted until 21 December 2024 at a whopping $500 per week, mainly due to the brilliant position of both towns.

Driving past, it’s impossible not to notice this immaculate home with its green front fence. Park your cars under-roof in the double (tandem) parking on the side of the house and walk down the paved, under-roof front patio leading up to the front door – or conveniently enter directly from the parking area.
On entry, the formal carpeted lounge is on the left, complete with a ceiling rose and separated from the hallway by an archway.
Straight ahead is the open-plan kitchen/dining area, with a woodfire in the corner to keep the whole house cosy in winter and a handy reverse-cycle air conditioner to keep the home cool in summer. A door closes off the right-hand side of the home, where you’ll find the other bedrooms, laundry, and family bathroom.
The kitchen overlooks the backyard and has a massive pantry, loads of cupboard and bench space, and a breakfast bar. On the side, there’s space for your big fridge/freezer. Sliding doors lead to the under-roof back patio.
To the left of the kitchen, you’ll find a spacious, open room currently used as a dining room. This area leads to a large enclosed room currently used as bedroom 4. This light and bright room could be your informal lounge/studio/play/games room or the perfect teenager’s retreat. It has large windows with jarrah floorboards and a private entry/exit through the glass sliding doors to the undercover back patio and backyard.
To the left of the open room/facing the front of the home, is the spacious main en suite, conveniently separate from the other bedrooms for added privacy. It’s king-size with built-in robes on both sides of the entry to the bathroom. The bathroom has a shower, toilet and basin and is fresh and light.
The other bedrooms and bathroom are on the opposite side of the home. The first queen-sized bedroom with BIRs is on your right, overlooking the beautiful front patio and garden. Opposite this room is a large laundry (a bonus double brick construction, the same as all the other wet areas in the house) and a separate toilet. The complete family bathroom, with its dove blue tiles and big window, is light and fresh and services this family area.
The third bedroom is queen size with a study/computer nook. A handy, deep linen cupboard can be found in the corridor. At the end of the corridor is a door leading out to the paved, double undercover parking area, an ideal entry choice if you want to stay dry during wet winter days.
The yard is a generous 1,000m2 and has space to park a large caravan and/or boat. A double gate from the back (crown land) allows easy entry to the backyard, so bring your big boys’ toys, wood and garden soil in from this side. There is also a large 9×6 m2 lockable powered shed/workshop with a concrete floor that will make most male hearts beat faster.
If you want to be more self-sufficient, the backyard has plenty of space for water tanks, vegetable patches and fruit trees. The home faces perfectly north, which is ideal for solar panels.
How wonderful would it be to live in a natural country environment while still being close to all amenities? This beautiful, quality-built home would make the transition even easier, offering all the delights of country living with all the mod cons we have come to rely on.
The magnificent Porongurup National Park, one of the oldest ranges in the world, is 19 km away, and the Stirling Ranges is only 43 minutes by car. You’re surrounded by nature parks and award-winning wineries, including Poacher’s Ridge, just around the corner.
Narrikup is the birthplace of agriculture in the Shire of Plantagenet, and there are many exciting things to do and explore in the vicinity. This includes wineries, mountain trails, bush walks, rare orchids and wildflowers, and historic buildings. You’re also close to magnificent beaches.
Mt Barker has an outstanding school and local hospital, while Albany Health Campus, with its Great Southern Specialist Centre, is under half an hour’s drive.
This is an ideal opportunity to earn an excellent rental income until 21 December 2024. Properties in this area are very popular and primarily owner-occupied. If you’re not quite ready to move, these excellent tenants (a young family with four kids) would love to stay on.
Inspection is a must to appreciate the home’s finishing, quality and spaciousness. We will need to give fair warning to the tenants for viewings, so if you’re a qualified buyer, please book your private viewing a few days in advance – no home opens. Exclusive to Jess – 0410 631 335.
