Expressions of interest closing Wednesday 24th June at 12 noon (unless sold prior) Set across approximately 16 gently rolling acres, this grand circa-1910 sandstone homestead, constructed from Macclesfield's own pink sandstone, carries a story few properties can tell. Once the original Wistow Dairy, Warilda has been thoughtfully restored and extended to honour its heritage while delivering the space, style and functionality expected of contemporary country living. Inside, soaring ceilings, Jarrah floorboards, original fireplaces and beautifully restored interiors create a warm and enduring sense of place. At the heart of the home, a striking extension opens into an impressive living and entertaining zone, complemented by a designer kitchen with black granite benchtops, a Belling oven and a generous butler's pantry. A huge mudroom and laundry sit ready for the boots, dogs, and beautiful mess that country life brings in. Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning ensures your comfort year-round - the nature stays outside, the comfort stays in. Outside, the property unfolds like a deep breath. A salt-chlorinated pool glimmers among the gum trees. A grand wood fired pizza oven anchors the outdoor entertaining area. Raised garden beds, citrus garden, a chicken run, and an olive grove speak to a life that is genuinely productive as well as beautiful. The winter dam holds water through the dry months, and 100,000 litres of rainwater storage means you are largely self-sufficient. The original dairy and ample shedding - with three-phase power - offer serious infrastructure for those with animals, a workshop, or a small enterprise in mind. And then there is the wildlife. Blue fairy-wrens dart through the understorey. Yellow-tailed black cockatoos drift overhead. Rosellas, grass parrots, and hooded cuckoos fill the canopy with colour and sound. At dusk, kangaroos and wallabies move quietly through the paddocks. Koalas sleep in the high branches. With five bedrooms, two bathrooms, excellent shedding and open country surrounds just minutes from Mount Barker, Warilda is perfectly suited to families, lifestyle buyers, hobby farmers and those seeking a self-sufficient escape without giving up convenience. This is more than a home. It is a piece of Wistow history, beautifully reimagined for its next chapter. AGENTS: Charles Booth 0408 898 287 Jack Booth 0418 818 925 RLA: 294724
