A Century of Stories in the Heart of the Swan Valley

As you pass through the gate and follow the winding driveway, the rhythm of city life falls away. Sunlight dances across the dam, kangaroos graze quietly in the fields, and the air carries that rare sense of peace that only land with history can hold.

A home to make your own, land to create memories and a current water license in place.

“Let the current owners tell you their heartfelt story of the land”

This property has been owned by the same family for over 100 years. It was originally a grant of land assigned to two brothers as part of a ‘Soldier Settler Scheme’ who affectionately named it ‘Lizard’s Retreat’.

They were original ANZACs who survived the Great War and returned to Australia changed men who sought a life where they could farm and raise their families. They planted a vineyard and with advice from the Yugoslav community who were also refugees from war torn Europe, they grew table grapes, fruit and vegetables.

One brother decided to seek his fortune elsewhere and returned to England but the other brother persisted and created a moderately successful vineyard operation producing table grapes and dried fruit. Other vineyards were leased and the produce was marketed through the original Swan Settlers Cooperative which is a thriving weekend market facility to this day.

During the Second World War, vegetables and livestock provided sustainment to local Army personnel in the area as well as local families. Grapes were produced through to the mid 60s when the only son of the original owner converted the property to a cut flower operation that focussed on Kangaroo Paws and Geraldton Wax. When he retired, the property was sub-divided to its current configuration and utilised for limited production of lucerne and some small grazing of horses and cattle.

The current owners as Grandchildren of the original owner are reluctant sellers but both live elsewhere and after careful consideration have decided to part with the property to a buyer who will truly appreciate its unique location and place in the Swan Valley.’
Whether you envision boutique vineyards, grazing horses, cultivating specialty crops, or simply creating a tranquil family haven surrounded by natural beauty, this property offers an extraordinary canvas in one of WA’s most sought-after regions.
Opportunities like this are rare, where history, heart, and potential meet.
