This Australian west coast treechange comes with its own live-in residents

Treechangers seeking a home and income should take note of this west coast property in picturesque Pickering Brook in the Perth Hills, which comes with its own live-in residents.

Known as ‘the Margaret River of the Hills’ the area boasts stunning bushland while being just 30 minutes from all the amenity Perth has to offer.

With eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, this property is a home and business, operating as a thriving day spa, Hidden Valley Eco Lodges and Day Spa.

The private main residence is made of rammed earth for thermal comfort and has three bedrooms, luxurious bathroom and a large open plan living area. A private jacuzzi on the spacious entertaining deck is the perfect spot for enjoying beautiful bushland views at the end of a long day.

For day spa guests, there are four deluxe spa treatment rooms serviced by qualified staff, a reception area and lounge plus a commercial kitchen. Overnight guests can choose from five lodges with fully equipped kitchen and heated jacuzzi. As a going concern with a consistently high annual turnover, it’s a unique opportunity for the right buyer.

Set over 5.46ha, the property is also home to a very special group of residents: a small herd of alpacas, which are included in the sale.

A sanctuary of modern design and craftsmanship, this stunning north-facing family home in Dover Heights sets a new benchmark for luxury coastal living. Perched on a sun-drenched 563sqm block, the newly renovated residence combines elegance with functionality, making it the ultimate entertainer’s retreat.

Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the open-plan living and dining areas lead out to a sunlit alfresco zone with a swimming pool. “It’s where we spend most of our time, whether we’re hosting friends or relaxing with family,” says the owner. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors maximise the natural light and offer views of the beautifully landscaped backyard.

At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen equipped with premium Bosch and Siemens appliances, including two 900mm ovens, two dishwashers, and a gas wok with dual extraction fans.

Upstairs, the four spacious bedrooms offer plenty of privacy. The master suite is a true retreat with a luxurious ensuite and custom-built wardrobes. Two other bedrooms feature their own ensuites, while a home office and gym complete the upper level. Convenience is key, with lift access to both floors, a remote-controlled garage with internal access, and off-street parking for three cars.

The home is packed with modern features like Daikin ducted air-conditioning with room-specific controls, rain-sensor skylights and CCTV. Sustainability is also a priority, with 48 solar roof panels and a Tesla 2.5kw solar edge inverter reducing the home’s environmental impact.

Located a short stroll from Rodney Reserve and local favourite Archies Café Co., the house is close to prestigious schools, Rose Bay village, and the iconic Bondi Beach. It’s the perfect blend of convenience and tranquillity, offering a family-friendly neighbourhood while being just minutes away from Sydney’s finest attractions.

With its timeless Hampton-style aesthetic and modern amenities, 60 Blake Street is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening by the pool, every inch of this property has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and luxury.
