The hills of Kelmscott have some amazing views. Close to some bush tracks if you're into mountain biking or bush walks. I recently saw a house on Brookton Hwy for 320k over looking fields and forests.

Add Rockingham & Armadale in to the mix as well! Never a dull moment in those areas
move to Kwinana for the kwinani

Would consider Rockingham in the 400k range. Beach location, big changes happening on the forshore with raft of cafes and bars opening up and still close enough to the city. You get crime everywhere and need to secure your house accordingly.

Perth always sucked and now it's forever overpriced and still sucks. Move to Adelaide. At least there you won't be thousands of kilometres from anywhere more interesting than a South West town with a bakery.
Adelaide an SA I like but the only thing it really has over Perth is being cheaper. Not sure what's so great about being close to places like Victoria, apart from a heap of AFL footy and a bit a OK city architecture the place is mostly a dreary mass of meh. Comfortably the most overrated part of Australia (and I've been to Hervey Bay in QLD..)
To be fair they also have less meth labs and whiny Poms
Fair point but they have more serial killers.
True, but then again I'm more likely to run into a pom than a serial killer. Really both cities have their own charm.

You haven't really explored Adelaide & it's surrounds then IMO.
What about Helena Valley/Parkville/Foothills area. Yeah, you're ages from the beach, but closer to the swan valley, and you'll find a lot of space out there

Any thoughts on Roleystone. Looks nice. I am looking for something 1200sqm minimum. Nice house.

As someone who loves the Hills, I'd recommend Roleystone, the only thing that may deter some is that your closest major shopping centre is Armadale which has a bad rep. But that won't affect where you live at all.
Also why almost a quarter acre as a minimum? Space between neighbours? Have some animals like Horses? Social status reasons?

Roleystone is beautiful, and fantastic value for money for what you get. Not sure you can even get a block under 1,000 sqm given the zoning.
Downsides are bushfire risk and the maintenance that goes with having a bush block, and it's not close to anything. I wouldn't want to live there and work north of the river. If you work in the city the commute isn't that bad given how many people live in the ever extending north/south corridor.

I hate being so close to neighbours. I find it depressing being able to hear your neighbours from inside the house, and if you look at anything within the urban areas they are packed.
I like a bit of space, room to move around. I noticed it's only 35minutes to Roleystone from the CBD. The drive to the airport is relatively straight forward. I'm not sure what public transport is like to Kelmscott etc.
Bushfire plan in that area is probably something to look at I guess.
These are the sort of properties in the area. That second one is ******* awesome but at least 100k out of my price range.

I like the cut of your jib.
Glen Forest, Stoneville, Parkerville etc are great areas for that country feel but they are a bit further out (at least they feel that way, may be wrong here) and Roleystone is, as Scotland said, absolutely great value for money. The next suburbs out from Roleystone (Pickering Brook, Karragullen, Bedfordale) can offer up the same thing for thousands of $$$ more.
Ie bushfires, there was a serious one there about 7 or so years ago that destroyed a lot of houses.

Armadale, the council is free and easy, the blocks are big with lots of trees, you can put your garbage cans out in your underwear or even naked, no one is going to make and fuss and you never have to worry about burglaries because your neighbors are the buglers and they never work at home.
