ESCAPE THE WORLD
There really is no more idyllic location that embraces all of the qualities of life that "sea/tree changers" pursue than this property. For starters, it is conveniently located half way between the townsite of Margaret River and the coastline and secondly, it is privately tucked away amongst the rolling terrain near Cape Mentelle and Xanadu wineries. The generous one hectare property is a gorgeous blend of tall timbers and delightfully manicured landscaping and lawns that surround the home.
Leave the world behind at the gate as you wind your way along the driveway that opens up to the delightful 3 bedroom 1 bathroom cottage that has been stylishly renovated and boasts a stunningly designed outdoor area that presents as if it is fresh off the pages of "Home Beautiful".
Three oversized bedrooms lead off from the open kitchen and living area, which is cosily heated by a combustion stove, with reverse cycle air conditioning providing convenient backup. The fresh modern kitchen forms the heart of the home and opens out onto the stunning alfresco area, which features aggregate flooring, striking artistic limestone work and even a ceiling fan and heater for added comfort.
The property also features an outdoor shower, a 130,000 litre colourbond water tank, an 8m x 10m powered colourbond shed, garden shed, vegetable garden, two bores that pump into a water tank that gravity feeds to the gardens, a winter dam and a discreetly converted sea container for extra storage.
Wake up to nothing but the sound of birdsong and wile away the hours taking in peaceful strolls through the neighbourhood or simply jump on your bike and take in the scenery on a direct ride to the beach...alternatively, throw the golf buggy in the boot and be at the entry to the Margaret River Golf Club in less than five minutes. A school bus route even runs along Heron Drive, only 180 metres from the front door. If you are looking for an escape from the world, but still desiring the conveniences of town close by, look no further that this idyllic property.
This home will initially be open by Home Open on Saturday 24th April at 11:30am. No prior inspections available prior to this date.

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.
