Telethon 2026: Upper Swan home offers swimming pool with luxury views for a good cause

The 2026 Telethon Home, fitted with a below-ground pool and sweeping views of the Ellen Brook Foreshore Reserve, has officially hit the market, offering prospective buyers the chance to secure a dream family lifestyle while supporting WA’s sick and vulnerable children.

This year’s home marks a return to the Clementine Estate in Upper Swan.

West Coast Eagles legend Nic Naitanui joined Satterley Group founder Nigel Satterley and managing director Brendan Acott, Blueprint Homes chief executive Craig Park, and Telethon mascot Fat Cat on Wednesday evening to cut the ribbon on the property.

Guests spilled through the open-plan residence for the official unveiling, taking in the picturesque reserve backdrop while sipping champagne on the outdoor entertaining deck.

Families explored the spacious design, while crowds gathered around the stunning poolside area.

Naitanui, a long-term Telethon supporter and 2026 home ambassador, said the location hit close to home.

“It’s not too far from where I grew up too. So I got a soft spot for this sort of area since I’ve spent a lot of time out here,” Naitanui said.

“The house itself is amazing. I spent a whole day here the other day and I’m actually building a house at the moment myself so I’m jealous of how nice the finishes are and just everything and I think this is the first time they’ve had a swimming pool as well so it’s actually amazing.

“If you’re keen to buy a new house, this is the one to buy because it’s for a good cause.”

Naitanui highlighted the vital role the home plays in the annual charity drive.

“I’ve been a part of Telethon now for probably near on 20 years, and it’s great to be a home ambassador,” he said.

“I know how much it adds to the total value of that end tally on Telethon weekend, it’s something very special.

“So I think I’ll be doing this forever, until I’m grey.”

Built by Blueprint Homes on land donated by Satterley, the property sits on a 596sqm block.

The home features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, a games room, and a study nook.

Outside, a front-facing living area takes advantage of the views across the reserve, complemented by a below-ground pool and pergola.

A private rear alfresco offers a second gathering space.

The property will be sold fully furnished, featuring a state-of-the-art kitchen, a scullery, and a games room fitted with a pool table.

Blueprint Homes chief executive Craig Park revealed the build was completed in record time, with the slab laid only six months ago in February.

An emotional Mr Park held back tears as he reflected on the impact of the project.

“Growing up in West Australia Telethon has obviously been something that we’ve been very, very much familiar with, I suppose,” Mr Park said.

“But having done our first telethon home a couple of years ago it was really such a moving experience for us, and it’s something that we wanted to be involved in again because you get to see what impact Telethon has on so many families and kids that really do need what telethon provides for them.

“I think nobody donates or gives things to telethon for any accolades or such.

“We do it because of just the special spirit that telethon and how far-reaching is and being involved in Telethon for the last few years we see the stories behind the families that are really doing it tough and to be able to add a small contribution to hopefully making their lives a little bit easier is really special. It is a very kind emotional thing, I suppose.”

Satterley has donated land for the Telethon Home project since 1980.

This year marks the 54th year Mr Satterley has been involved in delivering the Telethon home.

“We started the first home in 1974 in DunCraig, and… I think it sold for about $12,500 and the block was $5,500,” Mr Satterley said.

“I’m hoping this years home sells for over $1.35 million.

“We’re going to start, I believe, at about one $1.27 or $1.28 million.”

Located 35km from the Perth CBD, Clementine Estate sits minutes from the wineries, breweries, and restaurants of the Swan Valley.

The Telethon Home project has raised more than $30 million for the charity over its history. Last year’s home, built by Home Group in Madora Bay, sold for $1,375,000.

All proceeds from the sale will support 147 beneficiary organisations across the State. Since 1968, Telethon has raised more than $778 million for medical research, equipment, and programs.

Telethon chairman Richard Goyder called it a “privilege” to be part of Telethon and hopes the community continue to dig deep for the children of WA.

“It’s the absolute privilege of my life to be involved with telethon,” he said.

“To have just a tiny bit of influence in ensuring that our kids in Western Australia have the benefit of the generosity of our community.”

The home is for sale via private treaty, with final sale details to be revealed during Telethon Weekend on October 17 and 18.

Public viewings begin on Saturday, September 5, running Wednesdays from 2pm to 5pm, and weekends and public holidays from 12pm to 5pm.
