Pircarra Homestead

Built in 1926 and designed by the iconic architect W.P. Knights and set on 3.69 Ha approx. Pircarra Homestead is a remarkable 1920's American bungalow-influenced homestead which formed part of the original 3,840-acre property. Rich in character, the homestead remains an important example of the substantial pastoral properties established across the Western District during this period.

Recognised for its aesthetic significance, Pircarra Homestead showcases distinguishing features such as it's large and dominant roof line paired with projecting gables in addition to cross-hatched window mullions, timber shingles and distinctive volcanic stone veranda columns. The vast terra-cotta tiled roof is perhaps its most striking feature, with the front elevation incorporating a welcome entrance to the homestead. From the verandah there is a direct view to Mount Elephant.

Internally, the home retains an exceptional array of period features and original character seamlessly combined with modern comfort.

The substantial 6-bedroom residence comprises 4 bedrooms in the main quarters, each with built-in robes, together with two bedrooms located within the rear servants' quarters. There are 4 bathrooms, 3 incorporating a shower, toilet and single vanity, while the 4th features a beautiful claw-foot, freestanding bath. A separate powder room provides an additional toilet.

The living and dining areas are warmed by working fireplaces, while the original timber floors and decorative picture rails continue throughout the home. A large built-in sunroom, with access to 3 of the bedrooms, provides an inviting additional living space.

The spacious kitchen is centred around a large working AGA oven and is complemented by a modern 900mm gas cooktop and oven. Original built-in wall units retain their brass fittings, while the generous walk-in butler's pantry features original flour bins beneath the bench - a wonderful reminder of the home's pastoral and domestic history.

Built-in storage is provided throughout the residence, including a substantial walk-in linen press.

An ornate, timber-lined entrance and window seat create a memorable arrival, opening from the large undercover front entrance and leading into a home where much of the original craftsmanship and detailing remains intact. An underground wine cellar, accessed internally, adds another distinctive feature to the property.

The property has also benefited from a number of important upgrades and maintenance works.

Beyond the main homestead, a double garage with multiple attached storage rooms or workshop areas provide substantial utility space, complemented by additional sundry shedding. A separate shearers' cottage is also located on the property and is ready for renovation, offering further potential for restoration and adaptive use.

Pircarra Homestead is not simply a large country residence; it is a superb and lifestyle opportunity. With its impressive 1920's architecture, extensive accommodation, original interiors, established outbuildings and remarkable collection of period features, Pircarra Homestead represents a rare opportunity to an array of buyers alike.
