Peaceful and private, this 3.19ha of undulating parkland between Margaret River town and the best beaches has a gorgeous rammed earth home, a good shed and lots of productive fruit trees.
Built in 1995, the three bedroom one bathroom home is in excellent condition. It's elevated, north facing with a brick paved veranda all around. The open plan all electric kitchen and living area open directly to the north veranda. Tassie Bluegum floors run through the living areas and new granite benchtops are a recent addition to the kitchen. The laundry, both WCs and wet areas have been retiled. A separate living area is warmed in winter by a wood combustion heater. All bedrooms have a private outlook to the parkland style grounds. Rammed earth is a great fit for the Margaret River climate and the thermal mass does a wonderful job of evening out the daily temperature variations while adding a distinctive character to the home. A 2kw solar panel system, and large solar HWS keep the power bills well down.
Rainwater is stored in three 90,000 litre steel tanks.
All boundary fencing is near new, the rear of the house is enclosed, and there's another house yard fence enclosing about 1400m2, perfect for kids and dogs to have some safe fun.
The owners have counted 50 species of birds in the grounds, an interesting reflection of the safe haven this property provides for people and wildlife alike.

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.
