The original homestead was lovingly built by local craftsman August Johnson between 1910 and 1934, and the home tells the story of determination, craftsmanship and family.
Constructed from hand-laid local laterite stone and named after Mr. Johnson’s hometown of Ronneby, Sweden, the property remains an outstanding example of early Hills architecture.
Although not Heritage listed, records recognise its significance as one of the region’s finest self-built homes, with much of its original charm carefully preserved for future generations.
Set amongst magnificent established gardens, a productive orchard, natural spring and year-round creek, this remarkable residence offers an extraordinary lifestyle where history and nature exist in perfect harmony.
From the moment you step through the front door, the craftsmanship of a bygone era is immediately evident.
A grand entrance foyer showcases soaring ceilings, intricate ceiling roses, decorative cornices, original leadlight windows, authentic door hardware and polished jarrah floorboards.
Many of the home’s decorative elements were handcrafted by a renowned local Hills sculptor, further adding to its uniqueness.
The elegant formal lounge is a beautiful space to relax, centred around the original open fireplace with its decorative mantel.
A large bay window frames picturesque garden views while a built-in window seat creates the perfect place to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Original jarrah floorboards remain protected beneath the existing carpet.
Accommodation is generous throughout.
The impressive master suite features high ceilings, a beautiful bay window overlooking the gardens and an incredible five built-in robes.
A second oversized bedroom also enjoys built-in robes and character features, while the 3rd large bedroom has expansive windows looking out over the gardens and is currently being used as the perfect peaceful study.
The grand formal dining room offers flexibility as a 4th bedroom if desired and has a separate door to the veranda.
Sensitive renovations have ensured the home retains its heritage integrity while providing modern comfort.
The beautifully renovated kitchen blends seamlessly with the home’s character and features Corian benchtops, solid wandoo flooring, quality appliances including a 600mm stainless steel oven, electric cooktop, dishwasher, extensive cabinetry and generous walk-in pantry storage.
The renovated bathroom is equally impressive, offering floor-to-ceiling tiling, a luxurious bath perfectly positioned to enjoy private garden views, double shower heads and quality fittings throughout.
A renovated laundry with timber benchtops and excellent storage continues the thoughtful updates, while a separate renovated toilet has dual entrances to the bathroom and the veranda.
Multiple doors open onto sweeping wraparound verandas and an elevated entertaining deck that overlook the magnificent gardens.
Here, the tranquil sounds of birds and the nearby creek provide a peaceful backdrop for everyday living.
Outside, the grounds are simply magical.
Mature trees established gardens and a large orchard reflect the property’s rich history, while a natural spring and creek continue to nourish the landscape much as they have for generations.
A bore services the automatic Rain Bird reticulation system, complemented by a large water tank that can be supplied from either the bore or mains water.
Adding even further appeal is the original stone cottage/workshop, constructed in keeping with the home’s heritage character, along with a freestanding carport with roller door.
Throughout its history, Ronneby has been lovingly cared for by only 2 families.
The current owners have assembled an extensive collection of historical records, photographs and heritage information that will be passed on to the new custodians, providing an extraordinary insight into the home’s fascinating past.
Homes of this calibre rarely become available.
Offering a unique combination of historical significance, timeless craftsmanship, sympathetic modernisation and breathtaking natural surroundings, Ronneby represents one of the Perth Hills’ most exceptional lifestyle opportunities.

Perhaps one of Ronneby’s most remarkable attributes is the 9,507sqm (aprx) landholding on which it proudly stands.
As one of the largest privately held residential properties in Lesmurdie, the estate offers not only extraordinary privacy and breathtaking established gardens, but also exciting possibilities for the future.
Subject to all relevant approvals and planning requirements, the size of the property may provide potential subdivision or development opportunities for those wishing to explore the land’s long-term potential.
While it would undoubtedly be a shame to alter the magnificent gardens, mature orchard, natural spring and peaceful creek that have become such an integral part of Ronneby’s character for well over a century, the opportunity exists for future owners to investigate the possibilities should they choose.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Lesmurdie, the property also enjoys exceptional convenience, just moments from St Brigid’s College, Mazenod College, local shopping precincts, public transport, and with easy access to major arterial roads connecting you to Perth Airport and the C*D.
“Ronneby” is more than a home, it is a living piece of Lesmurdie’s history, ready for its next chapter.
