Secret Haven in Prized Location

As you approach this remarkable and historic property, a sense of seclusion and privacy greets you. Surrounded by well-crafted, low maintenance gardens and extensive rock retaining walls and paths, the estate is a sanctuary that draws in the local birdlife, creating a harmonious connection with nature.

The intriguing main residence displays unique character and some of the highest quality craftsmanship you'll find. The property has been lovingly cared for by the owner who grew up in the cottage that sits close to the main residence. Constructed of solid brick and exceptional jarrah features throughout, the soaring ceilings, stunning custom-made leadlights, clever nooks, multiple living zones and atrium combine to create an ambiance that's both inviting and comfortable.

The grand entry hall is a breathtaking space that immediately captures your attention as you step inside. Colourful leadlights bring charm, and the central atrium allows an abundance of natural light to flood the area.

A delightful living area with raked ceiling and extensive jarrah-framed windows to the north is flanked by the kitchen to one end (with a formal dining room beyond) and a sunroom with bar to the other end. A spiral staircase leads to yet another living space that offers multiple uses and opens to a deck overlooking the valley.

The master suite, situated at the front of the home, is a private retreat of its own. It has a bathroom next to it for convenience, and this section of the home can be enjoyed as a quiet, separate haven next to a study and a private lounge room.

Two further bedrooms are very generous in size (one is currently used as the main bedroom), and are located off a separate hall ensuring everyone in the family enjoys their own space. With a dedicated laundry and a well-appointed bathroom, this home provides the utmost in comfort and functionality.

For those who love outdoor living, the sheltered entertaining area provides the perfect spot to host gatherings with family and friends. From here, you can enjoy views of the gardens and a tennis court (fully lit for night play!), creating an inviting backdrop for relaxation and recreation.

The western entrance to the property is a tree-lined drive and just before the house is a wonderful gazebo for quiet contemplation. The spacious double door garage provides secure cover for vehicles and it features a roller door on its north side to be raised for use as a tennis pavilion overlooking the court below.

To the rear of the home, on its southern side, is an expansive, open-style farm shed providing ample storage for equipment or a caravan / boat, or could perhaps be transformed for an alternate use. A large secured garage is positioned next to the tennis court and serves as a garden store that houses the ride-on mower.

Adding to the charm of this very special property is the original blacksmith's cottage that provides a unique piece of history with a glimpse into the area's heritage. A potential renovation could resurrect this quaint cottage as a guesthouse or retreat. (Subject to Shire Approval)

Whilst you'll feel like you're a million miles away, everything else you might ever need is close at hand. Walking out the bottom gate, you'll find yourself on your own personal shortcut to town along the Yalgardup Brook reserve, through a pocket of karri forest, that connects with the cycle way along Wallcliffe Road. It's approximately 3km to walk or cycle and 4.5km by car to the Main Street, and 7.2km to the beach.

Margaret River overview

The townsite of Margaret River is located in the south west agricultural area, 277 kilometres south southwest of Perth and 48 kilometres south southwest of Busselton. It is located on the Margaret River from which it derives its name. The precise origin of the naming of the river is not known, but it was possibly named by John Bussell in honour of Margaret Wyche, a friend in England who was expected to follow the Bussell's to Australia. The name is first shown on a map of the region published in 1839.

In 1910 the Margaret River Progress Association wrote to the Minister for Lands requesting a townsite be declared at "the Upper Margaret Bridge". The reason given was that "the district is likely to be dotted with public buildings several miles apart in the near future if a townsite is not made available shortly". The District Surveyor who inspected the area preferred an area near the lower bridge on Caves Road, but this land was not available. Lots were surveyed in 1912, and the Townsite of Margaret River gazetted in 1913. In 1918 the name of the townsite was changed to "Margaret", but it was changed back to Margaret River in 1927, due to local usage of the name always being Margaret River.
