179 Melaleuca Road, Bookara | 4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Approx. 25.1 Hectares
Travel along Melaleuca Road past established olive groves and sweeping rural landscapes, and you immediately get the feeling you're heading somewhere special. Set amongst approximately 25.14 hectares of peaceful countryside, this remarkable property offers privacy, space, established gardens, extensive rural infrastructure and a home unlike almost anything else you'll find.
At the heart of the property is a truly unique four-bedroom, two-bathroom Hexadome residence. Rarely seen in Australia, its distinctive cyclone and snow-rated design creates soaring ceilings, beautiful exposed timberwork and striking architectural angles across both levels.
Timber-framed with a brick façade and shingle roof, the home is anchored to its pad by six substantial supporting posts and has been reroofed in recent years.
A Home Unlike Any Other:
Step inside through the slate-floored entrance to the lower level, where you'll find two bedrooms with built-in robes and ceiling fans, including one with direct access to the garden. The main bathroom, separate toilet and laundry are also located downstairs.
The recently renovated kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring stone benchtops, generous drawer storage and quality appliances. New timber-look vinyl plank flooring flows through the kitchen and dining area, while a wood fire and new split-system air conditioning provide comfort throughout the seasons.
Carpeted stairs lead to the upper level, where the home's extraordinary architecture really comes into its own. Here you'll find an office space and another two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
The main bedroom offers generous built-in robes, a ceiling fan, private balcony and a peaceful nook that's perfect for curling up with a book. Step outside and you'll even catch glimpses of the ocean in the distance.
Space to Live a Different Kind of Life:
Outside, established landscaped and vegetable gardens create a beautiful setting around the home, with mulberry and fig trees, native plants and other established greenery. A large undercover deck provides a wonderful place to entertain, unwind and simply enjoy the serenity.
Beyond the gardens, approximately 2,000 established carob trees add another distinctive element to this remarkable rural holding.
The property offers plenty of possibilities for those dreaming of a more self-sufficient lifestyle, with space for animals, gardening and rural pursuits. An existing chook shed provides the opportunity to establish a dedicated chook yard and enjoy fresh eggs straight from your own property.
The boundary fencing is approximately three years old, with electrified fencing also in place. The sellers advise the property is suitable for horses, approximately 10 cattle or approximately 60 sheep, subject to individual management requirements.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful rural retreat, a hobby farm or simply room for the whole family to spread out, there is so much here to enjoy.
Extensive Water Infrastructure:
Water is exceptionally well catered for, with approximately 95,000 litres of rainwater storage servicing the entire home. The sellers advise they have never run out of rainwater.
The property also features a bore with a solar-powered pump installed approximately 18 months ago, together with approximately 22,000 litres of bore-water storage. A second bore is accessible but is not currently connected, while the paddock troughs are gravity-fed.
This extensive water infrastructure is a valuable feature for those wanting to enjoy the property's established gardens, livestock areas and rural lifestyle.
Serious Shedding & Infrastructure:
One of the property's standout features is the enormous main shed, measuring approximately 60m x 30m and providing exceptional space for caravans, boats, machinery, vehicles and equipment.
A dedicated office/workshop area offers further flexibility for those wanting to work from home, pursue hobbies or simply have additional storage.
Closer to the residence, a double garage with electric roller door provides convenient vehicle accommodation.
Additional infrastructure includes solar hot water, a garden shed, the existing chook shed and established livestock facilities.
Selected rural equipment, including a tractor, quad bike and fire tank, will also remain with the property as part of the sale.
