Cape of good dreams Unsurpassed views in tranquil, sought-after locality, writes CARMELLE WILKINSON & COURTNEY NOTTE IF you had a cool $2.495 million to spend, you’d be crazy not to snap up this majestic residence in the Cape region. In one of the most sought-after localities in Vintners Ridge, the home has unsurpassed views of Geographe Bay. Former owner, award-winning designer and builder Jarrod Holst, told Residential he built the home to take advantage of the private and tranquil bush setting. Sprawled out over 5916sq m of land in an elevated position, the four-bedroom, twobathroom home and separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom studio take luxurious living to a completely new level. It is the ultimate rural retreat, with a range of features and quality materials throughout that will stand the test of time

– among them jarrah doors and timber floorboards. Privacy is paramount, and is guaranteed by the design of the house, with dual level left and right wings separated by a single storey living zone. An added advantage is the privacy afforded by its cul-desac location, minutes from amenities in Dunsborough town centre. The spacious freeflowing living area has bi-fold doors along two walls that open to integrate the indoor-outdoor areas and make one big entertaining space. An impressive outdoor area with expansive north-facing decking, 25-metre lap pool and heated spa is sure to be a crowd pleaser at your next barbecue with

family and friends. The modern kitchen is every home cook’s dream, with Corian bench tops with double undermount sinks and builtin wine racks, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry. A two-way stone-clad fireplace separates the kitchen and family room and creates a gorgeous warm ambience throughout the home. Upstairs, the master bedroom and connecting ensuite offer enviable ocean views from Dunsborough to Bunbury, thanks to the northerly aspect of the house. There is also an underground wine cellar, covered outdoor kitchen and a separate studio with a kitchenette and bathroom. Grand and spacious in its appearance, the resort-style home oozes flair and elegance. Extras include alarm and intercom systems. ■

9 Baramba Rd City Beach

for sale The ﬁrst thing I noticed when I pulled up to this fantastic little 4X2 beachhouse was the massive (and probably ancient) melalueca tree casting a dreamy shade over the front lawns. I couldn’t help but let my mind wander straight to Rotto (or Yallingup) - two beachfronts renowned for these beautiful coastal trees. With only one house between this home and the dunes, the “coastal fringe” location is perfectly suited to such a beautiful tree. The facade of the house itself, could also (perhaps?!) be described as a little Rottnest-esque due to its Spanish inspired arches. It gives you a real “holiday feel” every time you pull into the driveway. Although modest in appearance from the street, once you enter you will discover far more than you expect. Only one house from the water’s edge this impeccable 4x2 on perfectly level 890sqm offers open plan living, sweeping master suite, modern kitchen, undercover alfresco and potential ocean views. The central area consists of a modern kitchen, sweeping open plan living area, including huge dining space suitable for homecooked feasts for extended family and friends en-masse. (Current owners table would probably sit 16!) There are natural clay tiles, cedar doors and windows and plantation blinds. French doors open onto sprawling level rear lawns and gardens, and also onto a huge undercover alfresco living space with high pitched ceilings

and clear cafe blinds on all open walls, providing a cozy year round “outdoor lounge”. The Master suite is expansive in size. It is open plan to a modern en-suite and has an aspect over front gardens and an entire frosted glass wall ﬂooding the space with light yet retaining privacy. The minor bedroom wing is well separated, which is great for families, however one of the minor rooms has a second door which makes it accessible from the master suite and as such it would be well suited to any buyers with a young child/ baby. The current owners have young kids and have found the layout of the home perfect in this regard, due to all internal and external play areas being perfectly visible from the kitchen and main living areas. Kapinara Primary School - one of the most sought after in the state - is a couple of hundred metres up the road. The land holding is hard to beat. Only one house exists between it and the dunes. You are purchasing a perfectly level 890sqm lot. Second level extensions would reveal pleasant ocean views. A great place for you to live a wonderful lifestyle whilst bringing up a young family, and perhaps redevelop down the track to capatalise on this great land parcel on the edge of the coastal fringe... Absolutely all offers presented by 5pm May 3. (Seller reserves the right to sell prior.) WILL BE SOLD.

12 MARIMBA CRESCENT

NESTLED into bush surrounds behind the City Beach Groyne, this two-level home is quite extraordinary. Its full effect is not evident until you step inside the front door. Built in 1968, the architect-designed residence features a clever floor plan with excellent separation, sunlit interiors and a cool, contemporary feel. The street is an idyllic setting for such a home – unusually large blocks have enabled neighbours to develop while retaining remnant vegetation and the charm of the precinct. The area is a showcase of architectural experiment throughout the

decades and is dotted with creative examples of homes that nestle into the undulating topography. This home has three bedrooms and a second storey loft that could be used as a fourth bedroom, activity room or teenager’s retreat. There is also an office or music room, separate living area and two modern renovated bathrooms. At the heart of the home is a versatile timber, granite and frosted glass kitchen with contemporary stainless steel appliances and a beautiful outlook to the garden. Set on 1207sq m, the property has

the most beautiful tri-level terraced garden that backs on to native bushland, creating a seemingly infinite canopy of trees. You can’t help but feel at one with the stunning natural environment. Just a short stroll directly down the hill to the City Beach groyne, surf club, patrolled swimming beach and beachfront cafes, this property would be perfect for a creative owner who wants to put their stamp on a home with fantastic bones. The popular City Beach primary school is also just at the end of the street. ■

Stuff of which great memories are made Three-way subdivision an alternative to enjoying this remarkable space, writes JANE EVANS THE owners brought their children up here, so this East Fremantle home naturally exudes a family feel. Behind the unassuming facade, a rich blend of warm timber, wide open spaces and natural light characterises the residence, combining post-World War II architecture with a contemporary extension. But it is the back garden where magic happens. Bifold doors open out to an almost ethereal, enchanted garden setting. Elevated timber decking, built

around towering trees flows into an expansive terraced garden featuring lawn areas, horse stables and tennis courts. The owners have wonderful stories of their children playing football and tennis, making flying foxes that raced from one side of this half-acre block to the other and finding an array of hiding spots in the back yard for games of hide-and-seek. They held movie nights with dozens of friends by hanging sheets on the back of the tennis court wall, serving pizzas fresh from their pizza

oven and hosted the Head of the River after-party that culminated with over 600 guests in the back garden. There is certainly no shortage of space on this 2049sq m landholding. Inside, formal and informal living and dining areas are separate from the four bedrooms. Upstairs, a pretty loft area makes a perfect master or guest suite with its own private bathroom and juliet balcony with views out to the ocean. There are three bathrooms altogether.

A fabulously designed kitchen and adjacent dining area comprise the contemporary extension, and the kitchen is beautifully appointed with timber cabinetry and granite benchtops, as well as a place for absolutely everything. The property has R17.5 zoning which means it has the potential to be subdivided into three lots but it is also just as likely that another family will come along and recognise the beauty within, and want to create their own special memories here. â&#x2013;

Eleventh hour reprieve delivers stunning turnaround Modern restoration blends exquisitely with the charm of yesteryear. By JANE EVANS A LAST minute change of heart saved this original 1920s home from being bulldozed. The owner, an architect, said the home was a total ‘bowl over’ and got council approval to knock it down before deciding that it might be worthwhile restoring it. He retained and completely restored the front and original section of the home and added a stunning extension to the rear, transforming the ugly duckling into a very beautiful swan. The home effortlessly combines all the charm of yesteryear with the contemporary luxuries of today, having been exquisitely renovated throughout.

Spectacular from the front, the facade features timber-decked verandahs, stained leadlight window panels, white plantation shutters and manicured gardens with roses and elegant magnolias. It provides the perfect setting to relax and let the world go by while you take in the views of beautiful Lake Monger, which is just metres away. The home comprises four large bedrooms and two modern bathrooms (with a bath in the main), both featuring Italian marble flooring. Charming fireplaces feature in both front rooms. There are wide jarrah boards throughout with lovely white plantation shutters to the bedroom windows. At the rear, a stunning kitchen with contemporary stone benches and a marble splashback is complemented by sleek Miele appliances. Flanking this is an open-plan living and dining area with french doors out to a lovely garden

courtyard and timber-framed bi-fold doors out to a north-facing alfresco deck. Additional features include stylish, contemporary light fittings throughout and reversecycle ducted airconditioning.

There is also a double lock-up garage off a rear sealed laneway. One step inside the wide central hallway with soaring ceilings, and this will feel like home. ■

Raise a glass to class Period charm and stylish renovation made this a great year-round entertainer, writes CARMELLE WILKINSON WITH a stylish dining room like this, you will love hosting dinner parties for family and friends.

AUCTION

An embracing combination of elegance and style make this meticulously presented show piece residence stand out from the crowd. Careful consideration has been given to the design and construction of this quality built home with the environment in mind. This timber framed, reverse brick veneer home has a 35 degree pitched colour bond roof, fresh rain water tanks, an environmentally accredited quantum heat pump hot water system and is built to maximum cyclonic specifications.

INVEST IN THE SOUTH WEST

Recovery on the pristine horizon CARMELLE WILKINSON

reports on South West market trends THE State’s South West is renowned for its white sandy beaches, majestic forests, fabulous wines and gourmet delights. Therefore, it is no wonder the area is a hot target for those wanting to buy a slice of this real estate heaven. However, is the time ripe to purchase that holiday home ‘down south’? Speaking at the Urban Development of Australia’s South West Finance Forum in Dunsborough last month, the Commonwealth Bank’s national head of property finance Colin Robertshaw said the lower end of the SW market was “travelling well” but anything above $500,000 was “more or less stagnant”. “It’s a buyer’s market in the South West,” he said. CB Richard Ellis senior valuer Justin Anderson told Residential Busselton was the hottest town in the South West at the moment to buy property. “Busselton has been the best per-

former over the past quarter,’’ he said. “Value levels generally have been fairly stable with little or relatively no capital growth; however, we are seeing more transactions and enquiries. “The establishing Vasse Newtown estate in Vasse has been recognised as an area likely to outperform new establishing estates, including Provence and Via Vasse estate in the locality of Yalyalup. “Stock levels within Vasse Newtown appear to be coming down and agents have advised that vacant land supplies in current stages are rather low at present and likely to continue.” In addition, Mr Anderson said established properties on the northern side of Bussell Highway in Busselton and beachside of Caves Road within Dunsborough and Quindalup were likely to see more activity and value growth in the future. “There is some good buying in these sectors with properties becoming available for sale around the $400K mark,” he said.“The Dunsborough/Quindalup markets have been fairly soft over the past 12 months with little activity, although falling value levels and price reductions are making this sector more affordable

with only a finite supply available due to the geographical boundaries.” Overall, Mr Anderson was optimistic about the future of the South West, but acknowledged that the market had been fairly soft in most sectors with limited purchaser demand. “The greatest activity has been in the sub-$500K category, with properties priced above $1m showing little activity.” Debbie Bridges from Acton South agreed that Busselton was the place to buy your next holiday home, due to its current low prices. “Prices in the South West are starting to sneak up,’’ she said. Debra Goostrey, CEO of the UDIA WA, described the current quiet market as an excellent opportunity for investors and homebuyers. “We’re already starting to see some of the building blocks to market recovery. The rental market is starting to tighten which will normally lead to greater demand and rising rents,’’ she said. “This in turn encourages investors who will snap up the bargains that are around now.The message is get in soon, recovery is on the horizon.” ■

TOP TIPS FOR BUYING A PROPERTY IN THE SOUTH WEST IN the present economic conditions, now is a prime time to buy in the South West as vendors have become realistic about price. According to Sharli Hammond from William Porteous Properties International, as the economy grows and the population increases, we should see very good capital appreciation over the coming years. Sharli Hammond “A large percentage of buyers looking to purchase property in the State’s South West will be from Perth or north and looking for a lifestyle change, a second home or a sea change,” she said. Before you make the 3-5 hour trip to view properties ‘down south’, read Sharli’s top five tips for buying a property in the South West. 1. PLAN Good planning is essential to know exactly what you are looking for, so you should create a simple checklist. For example, do you want to live among the trees or by water? Do you require views? Do you want family and friends to come and stay? Will it be too far for them to visit? If you are retiring, will there be adequate medical facilities if needed? Is the area easily accessible for public transport? Is the property primarily for investment or lifestyle? 2. RESEARCH View agents’ websites and newspaper real estate sections to get a feel for what is available (style of homes, locations, prices and so on). Does it match your criteria? Does anything jump out at you? 3. SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE Contact real estate agents in the area(s). In the first instance by phone/email to discuss their properties – concentrating on those which have appeal to you. Check to see what has sold in the area and at what price. Evaluate agents – will you be comfortable with them and will they work with you to understand your needs? Will they contact you on future properties as they come on the market?

open out to a private deck where you can unwind and admire the tropical gardens. Complete with airconditioning, reticulated gardens, a powered 8x6m

shed, storage under the house and driveway access to the rear, this is a fabulous beach home for those looking for a quiet escape in the State’s South West or a sea change. ■

4. VISIT THE AREA Assuming that you are not from the area you are intending to buy into, it is important to obtain first-hand knowledge. I suggest you stay in the area (not just on holiday), take a camera, and your checklist (with notes), speak to real estate agents and locals for first-hand information of the area. Pay particular attention to prevailing winds, sun movement and the effect it will have on your property, both in summer and winter. Is there enough infrastructure such as shops, restaurants doctors, hospitals and so on to suit you? If it is a large property, will it have sufficient water? Does the stream dry up? 5. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Check with the planning department and local shire council to find out if any major developments are on the cards (road works, rezoning, logging and so on). You don’t want any surprises after purchasing, which could affect the value and lifestyle appeal of the property.

Sun, surf and wine ... what’s not to drool over? YALLINGUP is a short 10-minute drive south-west of Dunsborough, within the Margaret River wine region. A popular holiday destination for surfing, fishing and relaxing, Yallingup is an aboriginal word meaning Place of Love. Visitors flock to the town for its many caves, wineries, art galleries and fantastic beaches. If you are one of the lucky few fortunate enough to call Yallingup home, the median price of your home would be close to $2 million. ■

Former teacher turned real estate agent in class of her own A COUNTRY girl at heart, Acton South West’s senior sales executive Debbie Bridges has three great loves in her life – family, the great outdoors and real estate. She grew up in Debbie Bridges. WA’s wheat and sheep farming area (Cadoux and Eneabba) and discovered the city lights of Perth when she attended high school and university. Starting out in teaching, Debbie taught for many years in both the country and city before moving her attention to real estate. “Although I loved teaching, the opportunity of a career change into the real estate industry in the beautiful Dunsborough, Bus-

Career change has reaped many rewards for South West real estate executive Debbie Bridges. By CARMELLE WILKINSON selton, Eagle Bay and Yallingup areas was very appealing,’’ she said. “I had always loved property and my father was involved in rural sales so it was ‘in my blood’ as they say. “I love change and a challenge, and with my family’s blessing I was suddenly a real estate agent.” Renowned for being top of her game, Debbie has received many awards for top seller throughout her career – including top seller for the South West and Gold Award winner for the Acton Real Estate Group last year. “Real estate is and has been a rewarding career for me,’’ she said. “With a lot of hard work, long hours and a bit of luck and lots of fun and laughs, I now

enjoy a high profile as a successful real estate agent in this area. “Although many believe I work 24/7, I do leave plenty of time to enjoy life outside real estate, although selling real estate is a very social career with networking and meeting people all the time as everyone loves to talk real estate.” When Debbie isn’t selling property she’s enjoying the beauty of the State’s South West, with walks along the beach with her dog Molly and tasting the great variety of wines at some local vineyards and restaurants with her partner. She also enjoys gardening, travelling, reading, going to the movies and spending time with her friends.

“I travelled to India last year with girlfriends to experience an Ayurvedic Retreat; it was just wonderful,’’ she said. “This year’s travel will include India again and New Zealand, but the famous Camino Walk through France and Spain is on my bucket list.” With a love for what she does, it is not hard to see why Debbie is a popular agent for people selling high-profile beachside and beachfront properties. “I love selling real estate and I love life,’’ she said. “Dunsborough is where I will work, play and grow old... with an occasional trip to the city lights for culture, family and fun, but I am never away for long. “As they say, you can take the girl to the city but you cannot take the country out of the girl.” ■

THE ENCLAVE

Be quick to snap up a piece of paradise THE Enclave, an exciting new land release in Eagle Bay, has been released offering a subdivision of 36 rural residential lots. With an emphasis on retaining the quintessential Eagle Bay lifestyle that focuses on beach living in a rural setting, the development ensures that each block has its own special character and outlook over the breathtaking surrounds. The majority of the lots are complete Bush blocks without speciﬁc building Envelopes and instead “no build” zones around perimeters that allow buyers to take advantage of the best coastal locale. Many of the ambient bushland blocks are less than 500 metres from the Eagle Bay beach. Unlike many homes in Eagle Bay, which have to rely on rainwater tanks for their water supply, all lots on The Enclave will have full scheme water. In addition, all lots at The Enclave are fully serviced with kerbed bitumen roads, power and telephone and scheme water. Investors would also be well suited to this development with existing high-quality Eagle Bay homes bringing as much as $14,000 a week in rental income. The new development has easy

access to the thriving Dunsborough locale and is a short drive from the Margaret River wine region and tourist precinct. Some of the many attractions the region boasts include HMAS Swan dive wreck, Cape Naturaliste lighthouse, world renowned surﬁng locations, spectacular coastal hiking trails, Meelup Reserve and arts and crafts galleries.

Chic and cheerful Vibrant and stylish, this holiday haven has an impressive rental history, reports COURTNEY NOTTE QUALITY materials, a location akin to a resort retreat and space that suits a family ensures this home impresses on every level. Bold rendered external walls in contrasting colours give the home a vibrant presence on the block, and make it standout from surrounding established gardens and the ocean backdrop. The eclectic facade gives way to a low-fuss interior that is as stylish and serene as the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position, opposite a beachfront reserve with a water view as far as the eye can see. A chic combination of parquetry flooring in some rooms, an open timber tread staircase in the entry and several mini-orb statement walls inside and out keep the aesthetic interesting. North-facing outdoor entertaining areas and indoor living zones help moderate the temperature of the house and aid natural light and ventilation. High ceilings in the living areas enhance

the sense of space, as does the crisp colour scheme. Several sets of glass panel doors open the free-flowing kitchen, meals area and family room right up to the alfresco area. A balcony in the master bedroom, which has its own bathroom, is the perfect spot to relax looking out over the water. The last thing you want to do while in holiday mode is work, and the compact and low maintenance 368sq m block ensures you will rarely need to lift a finger to keep the property neat and tidy. Designed with holidays in mind and with a history of rental return, the villa is an ideal opportunity for a stylish getaway or investment property. The lifestyle opportunities are many and varied, thanks to its prime position. Children will love swimming, crabbing and fishing, going for walks or bike rides along the foreshore and nearby parklands, while adults can visit the nearby town centre for coffee, lunch, dinner or shopping. â&#x2013;
