The Windarra homestead is on about 3.23 hectares, about 15 kilometres from Geraldton.
It has a bore and some extremely old gums that surround the homestead.
Built in 1863 by ticket of leave men, it is one of those properties that, if it could talk, the stories it could tell would fill a book.
This property has never grown out of style.
Built of stone and wood, it is something to behold.
There are five bedrooms, two bathrooms, two storeys, a large upstairs balcony and beautiful gardens.
This property has a bore, a 200,000 litre rainwater tank, two other smaller rainwater tanks and a huge six-stand shearing shed.
This building is screaming out for a visionary to make it into an amazing family home or brewery/restaurant (subject to relevant approvals).
If desired, there are grants available to maintain the house through the Heritage Council of WA.
So, there is nothing stopping you from asking to view to purchase this once-in-a-lifetime property.
Located at 34 Glengarry Road, the property is zoned rural - farming and is split into five paddock areas.
There is a set of stock yards and a race and the entrance gate is automatic.
Windarra has significant historical value.
