THE DEAL

A multi-accommodation riverside retreat in Perth, featuring historical significance, charm, and grandeur. This incredible residence spans 3,723 square meters of sustainably managed riverside land in Guildford, just 20 minutes from the city.

The original residence, named ROHAIS, is a heritage-listed, Queen Anne Federation-style home from 1897. It was once occupied by the pioneering Guppy family and has since served as a family home, elderly care facility, school, and now a short stay accommodation with a private residence.

The original home is surrounded by timber-decked verandas and offers north-facing views of lush tropical gardens bordering the Swan River wetlands. Inside, the house boasts high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, ceiling roses, picture rails, original fireplaces, leadlight features, an ornately arched hallway, and wide jarrah floorboards.

The home includes a luxury master suite with an adjoining sitting room and private veranda access, a grand ensuite with a freestanding claw-foot bath, a library, and a formal dining room. The modern kitchen features French doors with deck access, a central island bench, a butler's kitchen, and an Electrolux gas cooker.

The property includes an integrated living room, four bedrooms with veranda access, and a shared bathroom. In the east wing are five modern, self-contained bedrooms, each with an ensuite, air conditioning, and kitchenette. The west side of the property offers additional accommodation, including a self-contained apartment with two bathrooms and four generic rooms/bedrooms. This area also features a cellar, commercial laundry, separate toilet, and direct access to the pool area.

Two spacious, north-facing studios are located on the grounds, with one currently serving as a gymnasium and the other suitable for a yoga studio or artist's residence. There are also two self-contained apartments with bathrooms, kitchenettes, and laundry facilities. The property offers up to 14 bedrooms and nine bathrooms, making it a versatile and lucrative investment.

Eco-management systems include a grey-water tank for garden irrigation and 48 solar panels for power efficiency. The property provides secure garage parking for eight vehicles and gated off-street parking for guests. Most rooms are fitted with split-system air conditioning, and the entire property is monitored by a security system.

SEALS THE DEAL

Despite its secluded setting, the property is just meters from Guildford's attractions, including historic pubs, tea rooms, antique shops, Swan Valley wineries, and dining options. It's also within walking distance of the train station and minutes from the airport and Guildford Grammar College. The property offers a perfect balance of country life, green open spaces, and modern conveniences.
