The Agency WA Property Partner Patrick Harper said he had sold the property to its current owners about 20 years ago as a block of land, and they built their bespoke residence there four years later.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir vision was always to build a French provincial, Mediterranean-style home which took advantage of the valley views,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tiled roof, fireplaces and traditional finishes all reflect that style.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe current owners wanted a retreat where they could come home, relax and enjoy the scenery.\u201d<\/p>\n
The resulting stunner harnesses the vistas from multiple vantage points.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the home, you can look across Bickley Valley in multiple directions, including towards the Carmel valley,\u201d Mr Harper said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main living and dining area was designed to frame those views through large windows and French doors.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlowing off the main space, the kitchen also includes an island bench and overlooks the wider property, creating a connection with the landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Harper said a French door in the kitchen maintained the provincial theme, while stone benchtops, a freestanding range cooker and a walk-in pantry added class to the country ambience.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s also a substantial alfresco entertaining area taking full advantage of the outlook,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of the bedrooms have sights across the property as well, so wherever you are, the landscape remains a feature.\u201d<\/p>\n
Uniting residents with the great outdoors, all but one of the bedrooms have direct exterior access.<\/p>\n
These sleeping quarters have been placed on either end of the house, alongside the various living areas, creating a layout perfect for families.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe floor plan provides great separation,\u201d Mr Harper said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe master suite is at the front of the home while the children\u2019s bedrooms are in their own wing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe central living areas connect the home, and there\u2019s also a separate media room or lounge for the kids, giving everyone their own space.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heads of the home will appreciate the master suite\u2019s generous walk-in robe and ensuite with a corner bathtub.<\/p>\n
Function and style come together in the remaining bedrooms, each with built-in robes. A flexible study by this wing can be converted into the fifth bedroom.<\/p>\n
The expansive grounds surrounding the abode hold equal allure.<\/p>\n
Mr Harper said the property was zoned Rural Agriculture, offering myriad possibilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt could be used for horses, hobby farming, growing produce or simply as a lifestyle property,\u201d he said, adding that a spread of plum trees remain from when the land was used an orchard.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is also potential for tourism-related uses, including chalets, subject to approval.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe land is extremely fertile and versatile, and the property has exceptional water resources, including mains water, a year-round dam, bore water, rainwater collection and the Pickering Brook waterway running along the boundary.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Harper said the location remained one of Perth\u2019s best-kept secrets, enhanced by a strong sense of history and heritage.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou feel as though you\u2019re in the countryside, yet you\u2019re only about 30 minutes from the city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re in the heart of Bickley Valley, surrounded by boutique vineyards, wineries, restaurants and breweries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s even a restaurant a few hundred metres away.\u201d<\/p>\n
