Secluded beyond a long driveway winding through lush bushland, this Hollywood Hills-inspired private estate presents tranquility, self-sufficiency and countryside vibes.
Ray White Cottesloe Mosman Park Sales Executive Noel Rogers said uniqueness, mystique and intrigue defined this exceptional country-style retreat on the fringe of Perth.
“Spanning just under 10 acres, the estate provides complete privacy with no neighbours visible from any of its five borders,” he said.
“Towering ghost gums and eucalypts create a private forest, drenching the property in natural beauty and magnificent space.”
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom main home’s impressive scale is immediately apparent with a sheltered front porch running the full length of the facade.
“The architectural design of the house successfully delivers a sprawling floor plan with large buffer areas between each wing, culminating in a grand central space with soaring ceilings and glass capturing the surrounding natural bush,” Mr Rogers said.
A supersized kitchen anchors the open-plan space, boasting granite benchtops, cedar cabinetry, and premium Miele and Bosch appliances. It overlooks the expansive dining and games rooms – the former warmed by a log fireplace, and the latter able to accommodate table tennis and snooker tables.
Floor-to-ceiling glass panels and bi-fold doors extend this zone outside to an all-seasons alfresco entertaining space while also flooding the indoors with natural light.
Adjacent to the immaculate living hub is a dedicated health and fitness studio with a gym, a bathroom, a sauna and a separate gas-heated spa overlooking the lush grounds and a firepit area.
The sleeping quarters are equally impressive in design, with two optional main suites as the highlight. The first enjoys a private position at the front of the dwelling, an extra-large walk-in robe and an ensuite, while the second is tucked within the family wing and contains built-in robes and its own bathroom.
Completing the wing are three more bedrooms – the largest of which could be converted into a home office or a utilities room – the main bathroom, a laundry with a separate powder room and an enclosable family room.
Additional spaces include a carpeted front lounge or theatre room, a study and – on the lower level – a climate-controlled wine cellar.
The primary home continues to impress along its exteriors, with a solar-heated, salt-chlorinated lagoon-style pool in the backyard taking centre stage. Featuring shade sails and a poolside cabana with a kitchen setup and built-in seating, it is the very image of a tropical resort-style retreat.
A valuable addition to the estate is the fully self-contained two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage with its own driveway, metered power, septic system and split-system air-conditioning.
According to Mr Rogers, the cottage is suitable as a long-term rental, short-stay tourist accommodation, a private residence for older family members or a teenager’s retreat.
There is also a fully lined 20m by 12m workshop with three-phase power, as well as a two-bay garage and a single-bay tractor shed – both attached to the main workshop.
Mr Rogers said a major distinction of 15 Wolfe Road was its off-grid capabilities.
“The well-planned services include a 10-kilowatt solar power system, a 20-kilovolt-ampere backup generator, a 330,000L water tank, an aquaponics system, and poultry and livestock facilities,” he said.
With the potential for subdivision, subject to council approval, the property is a standout find within the Perth metropolitan region.
“The picturesque Wolfe Road is a quiet and interesting diversion off the main road, offering a number of beautiful neighbouring properties and differing landscapes,” Mr Rogers said.
“Community spirit in the area is close, warm and friendly.
“While individual estates are well apart, there is a communal feeling here and people look out for each other – there is a volunteer fire brigade close by as well.
“Residents stay for a long time and property turnover is rare.”
