PROPERTY SUMMARY
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
All offers presented on Monday 30th November unless sold prior
Some properties are simply bought and sold. Others become part of history. After almost two centuries, a new chapter awaits.
Dating back to 1835, Albion Town, also known as Haddrill House, is one of the Swan Valley’s earliest surviving homesteads. Steeped in almost two centuries of history and held by the Haddrill family for approximately 150 years, this remarkable estate represents an increasingly rare opportunity to become the custodian of an extraordinary piece of Western Australia’s heritage.
Occupying just under 15 acres of picturesque land, with direct frontage to the Swan River and West Swan Road, Albion Town is a property of remarkable character, scale and possibility. At its heart stands the historic homestead, an enduring reminder of the Swan Valley’s earliest European settlement and a building that has stood proudly through generations of change.
Beyond its historic foundations lies a landscape rich with opportunity. Expansive open paddocks, established surroundings and the natural beauty of the Swan River create an exceptional setting for those seeking something truly distinctive.
For some, the appeal will be the opportunity to establish a magnificent private estate, where a contemporary residence could sit alongside the historic homestead, creating a family sanctuary to be enjoyed for generations. For others, the property’s heritage significance, generous landholding and prominent position within the Swan Valley may inspire an entirely different vision.
A boutique accommodation retreat, an intimate hospitality destination or a carefully considered tourism venture could offer exciting possibilities, with the original homestead serving as an unforgettable centrepiece. All potential uses and development remain subject to the necessary planning, heritage and statutory approvals.
The location is equally compelling. Set within the heart of the Swan Valley, Albion Town is surrounded by some of Western Australia’s most celebrated wineries, restaurants, breweries and attractions. From leisurely afternoons overlooking the vineyards to the region’s renowned food and wine experiences, the very best of the Valley is quite literally on your doorstep.
Yet for all its potential, perhaps the most captivating quality of Albion Town is something that cannot be replicated.
For almost 200 years, this property has remained part of the Swan Valley landscape, witnessing generations come and go while retaining a character and presence that few properties can claim.
Opportunities to acquire land of this magnitude, with direct river frontage and such profound historical significance, are seldom presented to the market.
Albion Town is more than a landholding. It is a legacy, a landmark and an opportunity to create something extraordinary while preserving a remarkable piece of the past. The current owners have enjoyed the property for the past 35 years and are now offering Albion Town to new custodians.
What a rare opportunity to make part of Western Australia’s history your very own
