Large rural family home | 5-acre modern brick | 5G coverage | Bushfire & flood overlays
This property presents a competitively strong proposition as a substantial, modern family residence on a significant landholding, a combination rare in its price segment. The 785m² building on 2.05 hectares offers exceptional utility for a buyer seeking space, privacy, and outdoor lifestyle amenities, with its shed, undercover storage, and solar PV system directly serving families or those with recreational assets. Its positioning within a short drive of Mandurah provides a practical balance of rural character and urban convenience, making it best suited for a permanent family seeking an acreage lifestyle without complete isolation.
The decision hinges on accepting specific risk mechanisms. The bushfire and flood overlays impose ongoing insurance costs and potential mitigation expenses, while the low 3m elevation compounds flood risk. The substantial price uplift since its August 2025 sale suggests strong market recognition of its configuration, but also limits short-term arbitrage. Hold this property as a long-term primary residence to fully capitalise on its space and amenities, as its rental yield does not justify a purely investment purchase.
Recent comparable sales in the wider area, including properties in Lake Clifton, Herron, and Dawesville, typically range from $800,000 to $1.5 million for rural lifestyle homes on 1-5 hectare lots. The property’s recent sale history at this address—$460,000 in August 2025 against a current estimated value near $1.28 million—indicates a significant and rapid market re-rating, underscoring its perceived value as a large, modern home on a substantial block. This divergence from its recent sale price demands verification but signals strong buyer appetite for its specific offering.
