171 Gardiner Road, North Walpole WA 6398

41.7 ha North Walpole lifestyle block | renovated 4×1 house | strong water infrastructure | forest surrounds and valley views The buying case rests on a rare combination of a renovated house, substantial water security via a creek-fed dam, and around 6 ha of arable land within a largely forested 103-acre holding. This suits a buyer seeking a semi-self-sufficient rural retreat in a high-rainfall region, where the north-facing aspect and elevated position add genuine amenity. The organic farming history and existing internal fencing reduce immediate setup costs for hobby farming or livestock, while the native forest provides privacy and ecological value that is increasingly scarce in the local market. The main constraint is that over 80% of the land is native forest, limiting productive use and requiring careful assessment of bushfire risk and land management obligations. The price picture is unclear, with one source showing $1,500,000 and another a lower range, so fair value cannot be relied on from visible evidence alone. A key unresolved question is whether the dam and creek entitlements are formally secured and sufficient for year-round livestock watering, which needs to be established before confidence in the property’s self-sufficiency claim can be formed.
