About 7km to the north of the city, accessed via both Chester Pass Road and Albany Highway, is the highly desirable suburb of Warrenup.
Many homebuyers aspire to live in this area for the country lifestyle and opportunities to build big homes with plenty of elbow room.
It is also popular with farmers retiring to a smaller property without totally compromising on natural surroundings, or for their second home near town.
On the eastern side of Warrenup are established rural holdings including farms and hobby farms and large residential blocks.
The west side is characterised by a development of residential lots of approximately one acre, favoured for their rural ambience while being within easy commuting distance of the town.
Many Warrenup holdings have orchards, veggie patches and chook runs, and plenty of land for children and grandchildren to play.
These are typically level blocks developed with quality-built homes and substantial sheds and garages.
All benefit from space for recreation, privacy and seclusion, and most enjoy views over the surrounding rural land.
