Swan Point Seclusion
An impressive and updated family home with stunning water views situated on 33 acres in desirable Kalgan with direct access to Oyster Harbour. Abutting the Foreshore Reserve to the West and bridle trail to the North, there is so much to explore on the property and in the immediate vicinity.
Following the driveway at the very end of Swan Point Road, you are welcomed into a very private setting with an impressive custom built home. Expansive living areas maximise the sweeping harbour views and the home benefits from verandah's on all sides. Remote controlled external sun blinds add to what is already a very efficient home thanks to the thermal mass of the mudbrick walls.
The main living area is vast, and the tongue and groove timber ceilings throughout are a real highlight. A solid timber kitchen serves this area well and has a very pleasant garden outlook. A large study nook or gallery space links the main living area to the huge games/ theatre room. This home has living space in abundance!
The main bedroom is very generous in size and features a walk-in robe, large ensuite and access out to the verandah and gardens. Two minor bedrooms both enjoy water and bush views and share a bathroom which contains a bath and sauna.
A practical laundry with solid timber cabinetry has it's own outside access, not to mention ample bench space, storage and hanging rack.
A matching mudbrick cottage was where the original owners first lived while building the house. This no longer has a kitchen or bathroom, but all the plumbing is still in place. There is a loft space upstairs and also a workshop or shed area below.
With the majority of the block being bush, there is plenty privacy and much to explore. Substantial clearing immediately below the house has enhanced the views. The trees were mulched onsite with some fallen timber remaining. Further mulching can be continued, or some may wish to develop this section of land into a pasture paddock. Channels, dams and soaks control and capture water runoff. The rear of the block is low lying and consists mostly of paperbark trees. It is an easy walk down to the harbour and Kalgan River, and the wildlife here is abundant!

Kalgan overview
The townsite of Kalgan is located in the south coastal region, about 21 kilometres northeast of Albany. It was gazetted a townsite in 1912 following the opening up of land in the area, but land had been put aside for a townsite here in 1837. The place was named "Wyndham" on an 1839 map of the area, but there was no subdivision or land made available in the townsite. It is recorded that it was to be the site of a farming community for the Society of Friends (Quakers), but there is no evidence that any Quakers ever settled in the area.
As there was already a Wyndham in the Kimberley when the town was gazetted in 1912, the name Kalgan was chosen for the townsite. Kalgan is the Aboriginal name of the river on which the townsite is situated, the name being first recorded by the explorer Dr A Collie as "Kalgan-up" in 1831. It is said to mean "place of many waters". The river had earlier been referred to as the "French River", since the French explored it in 1803.
