Spanning more than 190 acres across two titles, this Dwellingup estate features extensive river frontage and feels worlds away from it all.

Mack Hall Real Estate in association with Knight Frank Licensed Real Estate Agent Jim Hall said the landholding – known as Orondo Farm – encompassed three dwellings, three sheds, four dams and an utterly breathtaking natural backdrop.

“Its most important aspect is the Murray River frontage,” he said.

“There are only a handful of properties which can boast this feature.

“You could take a golf buggy down to the landing on the river and sit amid the chorus of birds or paddle out into the majestic forest-lined waterway.”

The three residences are designed to capitalise upon this scenic natural setting, especially the stunning main home.

Built to a high standard with a striking contemporary aesthetic, Mr Hall said this abode displayed a deeply thoughtful design.

Comprising four bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple living areas, its most alluring element is a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with a focus on indoor/outdoor connection.

This area steps out to a wraparound patio with an outdoor kitchen, overlooking the dam for an unforgettable entertaining area.

“A combination of rammed earth, timber and glass, the home has panoramic views of trees and water,” Mr Hall said.

“The entertaining area has floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the property and is a perfect spot for hosting.

“Its angled roof has further highlight windows which frame the view wonderfully.”

Mr Hall said the other key area inside the house was the 3000-bottle subterranean wine cellar, where the throw of the light created a dramatic atmosphere best experienced in person.

Ensuring a life of leisure, this home also features a pool with a sheltered sitting area, plus a nearby tennis court.

The remaining dwellings include a four-bedroom, two-bathroom lake house with a glorious open-plan area capturing the vistas, plus a charming three-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage nestled amongst the trees.

Both are modern and private, making them ideal for rental accommodation or hosting long-term guests in style.

Beyond the buildings, Mr Hall said one of the finest private gardens in the country blossomed across the property’s grounds.

“As soon as you leave the main house, you are spirited away into this landscaping masterpiece,” he said.

“The current owners have spent decades curating every square inch to ensure there are different flowers in bloom throughout the year.

Among the property’s standout features are the carefully curated gardens.

“People have travelled from all over the world to see the gardens – they are truly one of a kind.”

In addition to its biodiverse beauty, the land could be used for an orchard or vineyard.

Fencing and yardage have been established, and the required plant and equipment is included.

“This property is an incredibly rare landholding only 90 minutes from Perth,” Mr Hall said.
