Gidgegannup stone masterpiece hits the market after 57 years

Hidden 800 meters from the road at 1137 Berry Road, Gidgegannuplies a property 57 years in the making.

Ray White Midland and Hills principal Richard Lowenhoff and sales agent Laura Savage are marketing the three-bedroom, two-bathroom property, which has been listed with expressions of interest.

“This isn't just a house; it’s a piece of Gidgegannup’s heart,” Mr Lowenhoff said.

“From the reclaimed jetty-pylon barn to the sheer privacy of the parkland-cleared bush, the craftsmanship and history here are impossible to replicate. It is a property that must be seen to be truly appreciated.”

Originally purchased as bushland in 1969, the property has evolved from a cattle stud and sheep stud into one of Gidgegannup’s most unique architectural legacies - a home literally built from the stones of the earth it stands upon.

Every stone in the home was hand-picked from the property, creating half-meter-thick walls that offer world-class thermal qualities and a timeless, Mediterranean aesthetic.

The original stonework was started by a Spanish stone mason, and meticulously preserved and completed by owner Annie Donovan and her husband, Mark with the help of local stone masons.

“My parents cleared this land by hand, and we have spent decades continuing that labour of love,” Ms Donovan said.

“My two children and their seven cousins grew up with the total freedom to roam these paddocks and meet halfway between our houses.

“It has been a sanctuary for our family, and while we are moving to be closer to the ocean, the property is ready for someone to start their own chapter - whether that’s raising a family, running horses, or even converting the massive barn into a wedding venue.”

Beyond the stone residence, the property features a 20x12m barn with its own storied past, constructed from salvaged and on-site milled timber from the South of Perth Yacht Club jetty.

Designed with 4 meter clearance for trucks and horse floats, the barn sits alongside a professional 23 meter round yard, offering a turnkey setup for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking a commercial pivot.

Ms Donovan said they once ran a health retreat on the same road about 3 kms away and one of their visions was to do the same at the property, or run it as a wedding venue.
