A BEAUTIFUL forest sanctuary of mountain, trees, river and ocean has hit the market for $1.125M at 273 Redman Road, Denmark, WA.

“This is a very special 4.24ha* property on the north slopes of Mt Shadforth with valley views to Mt Lindesay and is just 4km from town,” Ray White Denmark Principal Kim Barrow said.

“The bespoke home was built in 2005 using passive solar design and has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, office, library, second living area and a large studio/retreat/yoga room,” he said.

“The main living space features cathedral ceilings, picture windows, electric louvres for air-flow and features a double-sided slow combustion fire.

“Spanish tiles and woolen carpets are used throughout and the home has been painted internally by renowned artist Vidhano, a beautiful touch for a beautiful home.

“Six quality solar panels and solar hot water system keep costs to a minimum and water is supplied via the 135,000 litre rainwater tank.

“The property will appeal to many buyers as the single level home was planned with disabled access, with ageing in comfort and safety in mind.

“For the adventurous, there are secluded walking trails though the Jarrh, Marri and Sheoak Forest, with veggie beds, established orchard and low maintenance native gardens a bonus.

“It's fair to say, ‘Tree Song’ is the ultimate in peace and tranquility.”

Dr Loretta do Rozario said in 2004 she felt called from the bustle of city life and she created 'Tree Song' retreat in the coastal town of Denmark in the Great Southern Region of WA.

“'Tree Song' offers a spaciousness to simply be. Through this being, we evolve our ‘art of living’ and through conscious living, we grow a more creative and compassionate life,” Dr. do Rozario said.

“The name ‘Tree Song' came to me in 2003, when in my mid-life, I took myself to a retreat in the Arizonian desert to renew.

“For four nights I slept out in the desert alone and there, in a dream, the name 'Tree Song' came. This naming inspired the dream of a space for ‘living the dream’ and a place to learn to be.

“In 2002 I visited Denmark and unexpectedly found this 11-acre property of mostly forest which had this magnificent Marri tree that powerfully called me.

“I was a city gal, never lived in the country and I was looking after my father who had dementia, so leaving Perth seemed really out of the question.

“Yet I did love the stunning natural beauty of Denmark, and it was this guardian tree that inspired me to buy and build 'Tree Song'.

“'Tree Song' evolved and became a place and space of beauty, peace, love and beingness. Over the 14 years, people have come from across Australia to learn to be and become.

“I asked Vidhano, renowned as WA's Michelangelo from Perth, to create the whole inside house as 'living art'. Each wall and room has evocative soothing colours that inspires renewal, healing and wellbeing.

“Because this tranquil area is a place where you can simply be, it lends itself to being quite a suitable and quality space for business too. An astute buyer will see the potential for ‘Tree Song’ to become a famous wellbeing retreat known across the nation.

“The harmony of Sovereign Hill estate shouldn’t be underestimated. We've shared dinners, special occasions and respectfully, our lives, without living in each other's pockets. This small private estate has been sought-after because of the genuine friendships we’ve forged.

“A moment I'll cherish all my life was inviting Fiona Campbell, Australia's top Mezzo Soprano singer to 'Tree Song' for a private concert.

“Around 40 people came to celebrate 'Tree Song's' 10th birthday, and together, we raised money to send to Indonesia to assist those who had lost so much in a tragic tsunami.

“I'll deeply miss 'Tree Song'. Yet I know the next people who'll be inspired to live their dream here will add their visions and energy to this unique space.

“May they come to love, joy and peace as much, and even more than I have and do.”
