A rare dual-residence offering on five acres of prime Swan Valley land, where two complete homes sit independently yet harmoniously on a single title - opening possibilities for extended family living or a sound investment strategy that delivers passive income alongside your own private sanctuary... 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms 2-home multi-generational property Expansive central open-plan living Formal & informal living zones Evaporative, split AC & slow-combustion fire Numerous powered outbuildings Fenced & gated level land Separate services connections 5 acres with escarpment views Privacy and proximity Two distinct homes, two separate lifestyles, one address. This is the kind of property that solves problems before they arise - the teenager craving independence, the ageing parent needing nearby support, the adult child saving for their first home, or simply the opportunity to offset your mortgage with rental income from a self-contained second dwelling. Built in 1997, the brick-and-tile home is the newer and larger of the two residences. Step through the front door and you're immediately presented with choices - a formal lounge to the left, and to the right, a principal suite flooded with light from a substantial three-bay window, complete with built-in robes, a bright ensuite and split-system air-conditioning. The slate-tiled hallway leads past a home office/formal dining room toward the heart of the home - an impressively proportioned family living zone. The kitchen anchors this space with a sweeping benchtop and integrated breakfast bar, maintaining sight lines across both the meals area and family room. Two sliding doors define the relationship between inside and out: one opens to a sheltered north-facing verandah that spans one side of the home, the other accesses the backyard where two magnificent palms frame an east-facing lawn. Three junior bedrooms occupy the rear section, two with mirror-fronted built-in robes and east-facing windows, the third with a robe recess and south-facing outlook. These rooms share a family bathroom with tub, shower and vanity, plus a separate WC via the walk-through laundry. The second home - Twin Pines - brings a different energy entirely. Built in the 1970s, this rendered-brick residence sits at the end of its own tree-lined driveway, accessed through a separate gated entry. A wide shaded porch introduces a home with understated character. Inside, a carpeted lounge connects to a tiled meals area and kitchen, anchored by a slow-combustion fireplace for cooler months. The first bedroom opens directly to an east-facing verandah - equally suited to a second living or entertaining space. Three additional carpeted bedrooms run off a central hallway, alongside a family bathroom and walk-through laundry with separate WC. The land itself deserves attention. Five level acres, fully fenced with paddocks and animal shelters, plus more than 40 productive fruit trees - quince, fig, persimmon, nectarine, apricot, citrus and grapes. The infrastructure extends to numerous powered outbuildings offering workshop, storage, studio or home business potential. The equine community will immediately recognise the value in level, fenced land with existing shelters and facilities. Each residence operates entirely independently - separate power meters, separate water connections, separate driveways, separate gate access. Two central paddocks create physical distance between the homes, meaning privacy is built into the layout, not dependent on goodwill. The financial equation is equally compelling. Occupy one residence and lease the other, creating a passive income stream that services your mortgage or funds your lifestyle. Both homes are established, maintained and immediately tenantable - complete, standalone dwellings that command genuine rental returns in a region with strong demand and limited supply of quality acreage homes. Herne Hill positions you squarely in Perth's premium food and wine territory, with the Swan Valley's cellar doors, breweries and providores awaiting your weekend explorations.
