Own Your Own Park, Opposite a National Park!
What a location!
This 2.99 hectare property is on a corner opposite the Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge National Park and less than 5 kms from the centre of town. An array of mature conifers, deciduous trees, natives as well as several fruit trees gives the sense of owning your own park. Improvements include a circa 1990 2 bedroom 1 bathroom cottage that could be easily extended if needed, a large shed, rainwater tank, gazebo and soak.
Apart from being a fabulous location to live with loads of room to grow your own food and store your toys, it also has the potential to return a considerable amount of capital as it forms part of an approved Structure Plan. This allows it to be subdivided into three lots subject to meeting Local authority approval and as all lots have direct frontage to Matthews Road it provides an easy path for a straight forward subdivision.
Opportunities like this don't come up very often so do your homework now and make an appointment to view the property soon.

Augusta overview
The most south westerly town in the state, Augusta was named by Gov. Sir James Stirling in May 1830. Until 2003 it was thought the name honoured Princess Augusta Sophia, second daughter of King George III and Queen Charlotte. In 2003 the book "James Stirling - Admiral and Founding Governor of Western Australia" a letter by James Turner is referred to which states "a town is purposed to be built named Augusta, County of Sussex, in compliment to the Duke". Princess Augusta Sophia died unmarried, and the "Duke" is most likely the Duke of Sussex, Augustus Frederick (Hanover), the 6th son of George III. He married Lady Augusta Murray in 1793, but the marriage was deemed a violation of the Royal Marriage Act, and was declared null and void in 1794. Lady Augusta Murray is most likely the person after whom Augusta is named.
