land husbandry, soil regeneration and bio-organic methods for over 20 years have been carried out. garden has a mix of fabulous, annually-manicured tall trees, ornamentals including a voluminous magnolia, japanese willow, chinese elms, lillipillies, over 30 fruit trees including sapotes, avocadoes, figs, peach, plum. mango, plantains, passionfruit, strawberry guavas, apricot, persimmon, custard apple, mandarin, lemon, pear, almond, a black walnut (all fruiting) and five veg/herb gardens including a huge strawberry 'patch' providing fruit every sunny month. no toxic products have been used on the property. nothing from outside except indian ocean seaweed. there are also numerous chinese gooseberry bushes.

jarrah, zinc, alum and fibro structures. three rainwater tanks. the large (23,000l) reticulates the rear fruit trees. there is an exterior double sink for washing veg in rainwater (smaller tank) which is gravity fed. a smaller tank is used to water the front garden which has mains reticulation to most of the gardens. three years ago newly installed leach drains at a cost of approx $30k.

rezoning is possible; however current owner wishes to ensure this won't happen until the far future (maybe never!). let us protect our food supply (which off the property doesn't look safe or secure) and the habitat of many ringtails, bobtails, quendas and skinks (including leonard - very tame and living behind the office fridge). shire is favourable towards new enterprise and studio is easily converted into a boutique bakery or small raw foods outlet. there is space for all the toys including 3.5 undercover parks. a very profitable summer beach jewellery business can be included and fruit sales possible to local organic veg outlet for further income (current owner considers her wares too valuable to sell but swaps with neighbours).

the property is being sold complete with all the tools, hardware supplies, gardening equipment (many including brigg and stratton lawn mower, various whipper snippers (one new), new Karcher pressure cleaner, 4 wheel barrows, ladders .....), plenty of renovating gear along with a 40 year art collection including a Wm de Gooijer original and Jamie Scott Images surf photography. the properties come self-contained: there are 3 large fridge/freezers, 1 wine fridge, 1 small fridge, kitchen baker's bench made from old Savoy buildings timber, London, persian rug in lounge and other essentials . Raw food industrial/character kitchen eco-designed by the present owner. double ceramic belfast sink and 6cm thick marri bench tops (naturally oiled with beeswax and coconut oil).

the property is north-facing and sunlight pours through all the second living area's wood framed windows in winter making it an area ripe for yoga/study/meditation/writing although it has been used for dining, extra bedroom and second reception in the past with tall tree vistas and apricot and peach blossom views. there is a large storage cupboard in this area and double french doors lead out to the food/tool storage area with a solid jarrah and custom made stained glass tri-window door (by a well known Cottesloe artist).

ALL THE HARD WORK HAS BEEN DONE. nothing can substitute real food! owner retiring to the undeveloped world.

we're selling a lifestyle and nutritious SAFE food supply (we're worried about REAL bio-organic food supply scarcity in the near future and so should you!) NOT fitted wardrobes wink wink ......
