At Peace with Nature
Tranquil and secluded describes this much loved property perfectly. The home is nestled discreetly into almost three hectares of bird attracting grounds with a very pretty winter creekline.
An easy drive to Margaret River town, and the best local beaches, the lifestyle potential here is wonderful.
The individually designed and locally built double brick home has three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area feature high ceilings and opens to the north to the grounds. Wide verandas all round soften the weather while offering extra outdoor options. Perhaps a hammock or two to read a book or snooze? Low allergy products have been used throughout and no harmful chemicals have been used on the property. A double brick double garage connected by a covered walkway offers secure storage and parking. Possible conversion to an Ancillary Dwelling or Studio? There's plenty of rainwater storage, and a bore, so greening your productive garden in summer is entirely possible.
Kangaroos visit regularly, the birdlife is prolific, and wandering the property is a pleasure any time of the day or night. You can continue voluntary membership in the Land for Wildlife scheme if you wish. There's no obligation, it costs nothing but there's lots of advice and like minded people to meet.
Town is 4km in one direction, the beach is 5km in the other direction. Wineries are easily accessible. It really doesn't get much better than this!
Other features of the home include:
• High ceilings
• Firelite fan forced wood combustion heater
• Excellent double brick double garage
• Termimesh protection
• Quiet, secluded location

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.
