Rare 24ha Wildlife Sanctuary & Established Eco-Tourism Business

Five self-contained guest residences, an established predator-protected wildlife sanctuary and an exceptional Margaret River region location, a genuine family retreat.
An extraordinary opportunity to acquire an established conservation sanctuary and tourism accommodation business on approximately 24 hectares of natural bushland at Metricup, in the heart of the Margaret River region.
Privately developed by its current owners since 1988, Yelverton Brook Conservation Sanctuary has welcomed guests since Easter 1992, building a longstanding reputation for peaceful accommodation and memorable encounters with Australian native wildlife.
The property features three spacious two-bedroom Lodges and two charming one-bedroom Studios, all fully self-contained and thoughtfully positioned for privacy, comfort and enjoyment of the surrounding bushland.
A defining feature is an effective perimeter of purpose-built predator-proof fencing, helping protect native wildlife including western grey kangaroos, brushtail possums, bandicoots and western ringtail possums. Close wildlife encounters around the guest accommodation have long been a hallmark of this distinctive property.
With more than 34 years of tourism history, longstanding ecotourism recognition, established booking and marketing systems, and returning clientele, the property offers a foundation for continued tourism operations.
Infrastructure includes a substantial 10m x 12m high access new insulated shed, powered licensed bore, three water tanks, electric entrance gate and a seasonal winter creek.
A designated 2,000 sqm building envelope provides potential for a future residence or manager's accommodation, subject to relevant approvals.
Approved subdivision: The proposed 23.59-hectare sanctuary and accommodation lot is to receive its own separate title following completion of surveying and registration, currently anticipated to take approximately three months. The sale is subject to completion of the subdivision and issue of the new title.
Ideally positioned approximately 15-20 minutes from Margaret River, Busselton and Dunsborough, this is a rare offering combining conservation, lifestyle, established infrastructure and tourism income potential.
The property also suits alternative uses such as accommodation for large staff groups.
A remarkable opportunity to continue an established conservation legacy and secure something genuinely special in the South West.
