Jon Williams discovers an amazing property in Darlington. He talks about the design of the iconic Australian homestead and how it has long been in the sights of many Aussies seeking the ultimate lifestyle home.
The colonial masterpiece perched in the hills a short drive outside of Perth is destined to be a trophy property for one lucky family.
Set on a magnificent 4000m2 parcel of manicured land and with just shy of 400m2 of internal space, this residence is as spacious as it is delightful.
With clever separation of living zones and a fantastic bush outlook from every window, it offers an inviting sense of warmth and character for those blessed enough to call it home.
As you would expect from a property of this calibre, the super-sized elevated verandah is picture perfect and sets the scene for an absolutely glorious outlook.
Framed with manicured Australiana style landscaping, the gorgeous heated pool will no doubt be the focal point of those long balmy summer evenings.
Ask any architect and they’ll tell you about how any ‘built form’ needs to compliment the natural environment. Well this home does that… and much more. Perfectly formed in the context of the landscape, it offers refined living within a sublime setting.
Of course blending with the natural landscape is important, but it is equally important for the home’s design to work for the people that live inside.
And here, the cascading natural light, the sheer sense of space and flow of functional living areas fit so well with the owners lifestyle.
The tranquility of a hills lifestyle is so intoxicating and it is no wonder that this great Australian homestead is attracting so much attention.
