Embark on a life connected to nature. Embrace days filled with the sounds of birdsong, the delight of homegrown fruit and veggies, and the joy of collecting freshly laid eggs. Anyone yearning for the 'good life' will be entranced by this Chidlow property of six acres with a home and studio, natural bush, paddocks and an arena.

While needing some attention, the existing home offers a charming foundation for crafting your dream country retreat. Original Canadian pine floorboards, sash windows, timber doors with rolled glass, and mid-century-inspired cabinetry evoke a sense of character and history. The straightforward layout, with bedrooms thoughtfully positioned at one end and living spaces at the other, invites easy living and offers ample potential to extend with verandahs at both the front and rear.

Sheoak, zamia palms, wildflowers and stately eucalypts offer a sheltering habitat for native wildlife and a still and peaceful haven for humans. A friendly neighbourhood, access to the Bridle Trail, and a school bus stop at the front gate complete a picture of the idyllic Hills lifestyle.

Escape to a unique home surrounded by the distinctive beauty of the Perth Hills. This 2.1-hectare property is on the market for the first time since it was built in 1990. The ensuing years have seen the current owners polish and refine the home and grounds to create an impressive and beguiling country retreat. All you need to feel at home – and a thousand miles from the rest of the world – is at hand.
 
With a clear emphasis on delighting in the peace and privacy afforded by its location, the home uses high ceilings, sunken rooms and a limited palette of colours and materials to fashion serene interiors that connect physically and visually to the surrounding landscape.
 
Reticulated gardens, water features, and natural bush lure you to the outdoor living zones and pool. A servery from the kitchen makes for easy summer entertaining under the belvedere, a big BBQ/firepit and sheltered table made with timber felled on the property fashion a wonderful winter sanctuary, perfect for telling tales around the fire as you toast marshmallows.
 
An array of infrastructure programmed and monitored by a control centre lets you keep an eye on your domain while leaving ample time to enjoy all this property offers. A lined and air-conditioned shed provides ideal studio space for creative pursuits or a man cave of the highest order. A high clearance workshop offers storage for a boat or caravan, the gardens give those with a green thumb a seemingly boundless canvas and watching chickens do their thing can provide hours of hilarity and entertainment.
 
Impressive, inviting, and inimitable, this Hills retreat must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Wide verandahs threaded with climbing rose and wisteria set the tone of this charming country home resting happily on its 2.2-hectare site. Life here is easy to imagine – the mostly level property boasts paddocks, stables with walk-out yards, a chicken run, fruit trees and raised vegetable beds. At the heart of the family-focused layout is a two-storey extension with a spacious open-plan family room, a well-appointed kitchen and meals area, and a generous home office.
A restrained choice of colours and materials imposes a quiet cohesion between the original Kestrel home and a 2007 two-storey extension. High ceilings, natural tones and large windows bring an atmosphere of calm to the interior spaces. A flowing floorplan with multiple living zones, large, well-appointed junior bedrooms, and a first-floor parents' retreat combine to deliver a generous family property tailor-made for country life.
The large kitchen forms a natural gathering place with warm-toned timber benchtops, shaker-style cabinets and a large, walk-in pantry ready to be stocked with a bounty of produce gathered on the property. A slow-combustion fireplace brings cosy comfort to this central living zone, while large windows frame ever-changing rural views. Verandahs extending along two sides of the home expand the practical living space and deliver an idyllic setting for outdoor living and entertaining, no matter the time of day or the season.
