525 Barkala Way, Stoneville, WA 6081

A remarkable homestead lies within 5 acres of Australian bushland in a coveted Stoneville location where natural beauty and thoughtful design create an exceptional living experience. Native xanthorrhoea, zamia palms, banksia and majestic eucalypts provide sanctuary to abundant wildlife while treating residents to symphonies of birdsong at dawn and dusk. Surrounding the house, formal gardens feature deciduous trees that transform through the seasons – offering brilliant autumn foliage, effusive spring blossoms and deep summer shade.
 
Inside, the heart of the home impresses with its open-plan design, where soaring timber-lined ceilings and dual-aspect glazing create a light-filled family hub perfect for lounging, entertaining and culinary pursuits. The principal suite opens directly to the tranquil rear garden, whilst a separate junior wing provides kids of all ages with generous private space. A formal lounge with a crackling open fireplace occupies the front of the floor plan, where bay windows frame mesmerising garden and bushland vistas. Adjacent to the principal suite sits an office/library—equally suitable as a nursery.
 
Step outside to discover a classic bull-nose verandah wrapping the home, extending into a spacious decked gazebo and handcrafted stone steps descending to a verdant central lawn – kept lush year-round by bore-fed reticulation. The practicalities haven't been overlooked, with a high-clearance powered workshop and garage featuring 3-phase power catering to projects and vehicles alike. Bush-block essentials, including a cubby house and chicken coop, complete this idyllic retreat. Here is an exceptional opportunity to embrace well-rounded, lifestyle-ready Hills living in a home where natural splendour and modern comfort exist in perfect harmony.
