Character Stone Cottage on 100 Acres!

What a rare find this is! For sale for the first time in 33 years, is a character home on acreage complete with a dam, two spring fed soaks/ponds, a tree lined winter creek and the balance of the land being mostly arable. All of this is only around only 12km from town, on the Perth side of York, in the locality of Talbot.

The spring fed ponds have been used to grow big silver perch fish and yabbies, while the main dam is still stocked with yabbies. Some native bush sits alongside the cottage, which boasts a secluded and private scenic rural outlook. In around the late 1990's, the home had an extension added which included a bathroom, laundry and storage space. A country style timber kitchen was also added, completed with matching stone walls and a bay window overlooking the big gable patio entertainment area. With minor modifications, the gable patio area could be used for handy parking space.

Some renovations would be beneficial for the cottage, estimated to have been built in the late 1890's, as it does have a lot of smoke stained walls/ceilings from the lounge room fireplace. Cleaning and repainting the walls would really give the home a much needed lift to brighten it up again. Some minor mortar repairs in the stonework is probably recommended too. The front two bedrooms are well sized, with jarrah wooden floors and high ceilings, while the lounge/dining is a large long room running the width of the home, complete with a split system airconditioner and the open fireplace.

Workshop/storage space is provided by a few small sheds, with a large character shed there in need of demolition or salvaging to rebuild another. Connected to mains power, the owner has installed a massive automatic backup generator so you don't have to be without power in the event of an outage.
