Space, Versatility & Opportunity - All in One Property.
Set on a sprawling 3.4 hectares in the heart of Dairy Flat, 46 Potter Road is on the market for the first time in over 40 years. With a large road frontage, two separate entrances-including one with wrought iron gates and pin entry-multiple dwellings, stables and a chicken coop, it delivers the kind of lifestyle flexibility that's hard to find, while being zoned Future Urban for long-term potential. Subdivision isn't possible until a future zone change, but in the meantime you can enjoy the best of country living just minutes from Albany.
The main residence, built in 1982 with family living in mind, unfolds across two levels. A light-filled lounge flows through to the dining area and kitchen, while sliding doors open onto wide decking where you can soak up the rural outlook. A pool room adds another dimension, perfect as a games room or second lounge. A guest bedroom, bathroom, and laundry complete the ground floor, while upstairs three further bedrooms and a family bathroom create plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was upgraded in the 2000s with beautiful granite benchtops and a more sophisticated coal range, the heart of many home-cooked meals. Recent improvements include a new roof, new deck, fresh paint inside and out, and new carpets and linoleum, leaving the home ready for its next chapter.
Water for the house is carefully managed, collected from the roof and stored in tanks onsite. A 7,500-gallon tank and a 5,000-gallon tank positioned up the hill allow gravity-fed supply back to the house, ensuring water availability even in a power cut.
A granny flat was added in the 1990s to accommodate an elderly family member and built to their exacting specifications. With its own electricity meter, septic system and water tank, it offers genuine independence and has recently been freshly repainted.
Alongside the main house, a garage was originally created as a home office for the family business before being converted into a sleepout for the teenage children. It has electricity and water from the main house, with a separate septic system (compliance with new standards unknown).
Further up the hill, a cottage was built for the family business and later converted to living quarters. It has its own electricity meter, septic system (most likely not compliant with current standards), and shares the water supply system with the main house.
The lifestyle offering continues outdoors, with stables originally designed for horses (complete with tack room),dressage arena which does require a bit of TLC, a chicken coop for fresh eggs, and gardens modified over the years for easy-care, low-maintenance living. Wide green paddocks make the most of the land, while the new gravel drive enhances presentation and practicality.
Private and peaceful, yet only a short drive to Albany, top schools and motorway access, this is a home that balances today's lifestyle needs with tomorrow's potential. A rare chance to secure space, versatility and long-term opportunity in the ever-popular Dairy Flat.
