There's something pretty special about having 10 acres to call your own, especially when it comes with a beautiful modern home and the opportunity to make the land work for you. Set on 10.1 acres (4.09 hectares) in Dumbarton, this contemporary 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a wonderful mix of country living, everyday comfort and a little luxury along the way. Whether it's keeping horses, raising sheep, growing your own hay or exploring a small rural venture, there's plenty of room to dream a little, make some plans and put them into action.

Beyond the house gardens, there's plenty of room to put the land to good use. Fully fenced and electrified paddocks are already home to horses, with a lean-to stable and shady day yard tucked beneath the gums. Having previously operated as a small-scale sheep stud, the property has a history of being more than just a pretty patch of countryside. At the back, another three acres offer the opportunity to grow hay for your own livestock or perhaps sell a little on the side. Whether it's breeding sheep, keeping horses, establishing a tree nursery or trying your hand at a small farming venture, there's plenty of scope to make the land earn its keep.

The large 15m x 7m shed is another standout, with plenty of space for hay, feed, tractors, machinery or a collection of vehicles. It could also lend itself to livestock shelter or other farming uses, with the potential to remove the centre partition and create one large open space. Closer to the house, a separate 6m x 4m workshop offers a different kind of flexibility. Insulated, powered and fitted with air conditioning, it was originally intended as a microgreens growing room but is ready for someone to give it a purpose. A home office, creative studio, gym or space to explore a small business could work nicely here. With the necessary approvals and modifications, there may even be scope for a granny flat or a teenage retreat. Close enough to the house to be convenient, but far enough away to shut the door on a project and leave the cleaning up until tomorrow.

For those with horses, there's also a shed conveniently located close to the house, ready to be fitted out with stables or a tack room. A veggie garden and chook yard add a little homegrown goodness, while the bore with submersible pump, three-filter drinking water system and garden reticulation help keep things running. There's also a 6.6kW solar system with 16 panels, a generator connection with meterbox changeover switch, sea container storage and a double carport.

Inside, the home has a lovely modern feel, plenty of natural light, warm timber tones and some beautiful finishing touches that give it plenty of character. The lounge is light and welcoming, with timber-look flooring, split system air conditioning and contemporary chandelier lighting. The kitchen and dining area has a warmth and character all of its own, with a stunning slab of natural marri timber forming the island bench and bringing beautiful colour and texture to the contemporary cabinetry. There's gas cooking, a dishwasher, fridge with ice-maker and plenty of room to prepare a meal, while a statement chandelier adds an elegant finishing touch. When winter settles in, the wood heater makes this a particularly inviting place to be. It's easy to imagine everyone gathering here, whether dinner's on the go or the kettle's just boiled.

Raked ceilings in the master bedroom add a real sense of openness whilst pendant lighting, downlights, a ceiling fan and split system air conditioning complete the room. The ensuite brings a touch of luxury with a beautiful freestanding bath, timber vanity with countertop basin, generous walk-in shower and a large window that allows the natural light to flood the space. The two remaining bedrooms are both a good size, with timber-look flooring and room for double beds. Bedroom 2 enjoys reverse cycle air conditioning and is currently used as a study. The main bathroom is just as thoughtfully finished, incorporating the laundry, built-in storage and space for the washer and dryer into one practical, modern space.

Outside is where the country lifestyle really comes into its own. The front verandah is a beautiful place to start the day, looking out across the lawns and established gardens to the neighbouring paddocks beyond, with palms and agapanthus bringing a relaxed, almost tropical feel to this charming rural setting. Out the back, the paved patio provides a great space for entertaining, with shadecloth screens offering views across the pool and backyard. The below-ground saltwater pool is surrounded by established gardens, and there's a separate cabana-style patio just waiting for a sun lounger and a good book. Another covered barbecue area overlooks a gravel conversation pit, where an outdoor fire would make for some pretty good winter evenings. It's a backyard made for long lunches, summer afternoons and enjoying the company of friends.

MORE THAN JUST A LIFESTYLE PROPERTY
There's also an opportunity here for families thinking a little further ahead. Zoned Rural Residential, an application has already been submitted to the WAPC to subdivide approximately 1 hectare from the front of the land. Approval is currently pending, with a decision anticipated in November 2026.
For those considering multigenerational living, the proposed subdivision could offer an interesting way to keep family close while giving everyone their own space. Perhaps the larger acreage stays with Mum and Dad, while adult children establish a home of their own on the smaller parcel. A modular home could be one option to explore, subject to subdivision approval and the relevant planning and building requirements. Alternatively, the proposed lot could be sold down the track, offering the potential to release some value from the land. Either way, having the application already lodged provides a head start on exploring what might be possible.

And then there's the location. Dumbarton has that lovely country feel, with open spaces, established trees and room to enjoy a quieter pace of life. Toodyay is within easy reach for the everyday essentials, local cafés, schools and shops, while the surrounding Avon Valley offers plenty of opportunities to get outdoors and explore. It's the kind of place where weekends can be spent pottering around the garden, looking after the animals, cooling off in the pool or doing absolutely nothing and loving it!

Whether the dream is a peaceful country escape, a productive hobby farm, a little income from the land or somewhere to bring the family together, this property has plenty to offer. A beautiful contemporary home, established gardens, versatile sheds and paddocks, plus a subdivision application already underway make for an interesting combination.
