Where all you will hear is quiet, the seasons and birdsong…it is heaven.

An Architect designed home, a detached studio and a soothing pool setting on just over 10 acres.

Where else in our lucky country can you find all this so convenient to Blackwood and Stirling Villages – 15minutes each way, and 17kms to the City.
At the end of a day, what an environment to come home to…it is the perfect tonic.

The entrance to ‘Almanda’ feels like you are entering a sanctuary, drive past a pond through native vegetation – your own private avenue finds its way to your new home and feeling of peace.

An Architects home built in 1993 - attractive brick work, timber and gorgeous gardens blend with the environment and take every advantage of its setting. Wide return verandahs are a smart, practical feature that extend this home to the outdoors. Whilst you are nestled into a native setting you will enjoy distant views and lots of natural light.

Entering the home, there is a feeling of warmth and calm. All solid brick and windows everywhere bring the outdoors in. High angled ceilings create a sense of space in the open plan main living area, a custom made combustion heater will keep you warm and cosy.
Sliding doors open to an alfresco style entertaining area, dappled sunlight finds its way from a northerly aspect through the glass roofed courtyard under the shade of the beautiful ‘Plane’ tree…quite the feature.

The ‘Australian Oak’ kitchen has modern appliances and great bench space, combines well with the main living areas and the glass skylight fills the kitchen area with natural light with a beautiful garden outlook.

The main bedroom feels separated, a private retreat with a big view to nature. Sliding doors open to a paved verandah nook where there is potential to create…a viewing deck perhaps?
Relax in a raised en-suite bath, custom made ‘Australian Oak’ robes will be included – in fact all the timber throughout the home is quality ‘Australian Oak’…a real complement.
There is the ideal study adjacent the main bedroom.

The two children’s or guest bedrooms are tucked away, nice size rooms with robe facilities.
They enjoy a study/lounge retreat and have their own bathroom.

The photos are the best place to really take in this wonderful home, and then a real life visit to absorb the many extra features;
How about a superb tiled and concrete salt-water pool with hardwood deck surround enjoying amazing views to the environment…gosh it is peaceful. There are places for your vegies and gardens to delight in.
This is not a horse property, but there is a stable, an arena and a wandering paddock to keep a horse happy.

There is a 4.4kW solar system and the pool is solar heated too.

A freestanding double garage with remote access has been constructed as if it was part of the main building – no short cuts here. It is so easy to drive in and out of.

A smartly designed outbuilding provides excellent studio space, there are a multitude of uses for you to decide – a teenager retreat and games room…great space for a serious hobby like a pottery or artist studio.
Conveniently, there are kitchenette and bathroom facilities.
Tucked away behind the studio is a huge workshop/garage with mezzanine storage – if you are a tradie or handyperson, then it is a perfect set-up. There is plenty of rainwater storage.

There is so much to fall in love with this home and property, the position will take your breath away…the location is easy to get to – surprisingly 15 minutes will find you in metropolitan shopping, and the beautiful Blackwood Golf Club is just up the road.

Is this the lifestyle you have been searching for?
