Cottages with as much character and comfort as this one don't come along very often, and the Unconditional Contract that was in place cannot settle due to personal circumstances - as such, we now offer a SECOND CHANCE to a lucky buyer.
Lovingly renovated and extended, there are creative uses of natural timber and other recycled materials everywhere one turns and the result is a property with real charm. Located a few streets back from the Margaret River Main Street, the traditional quarter acre block may be subdivided to create an additional block at the rear. But when you come and see the property you will fall in love with the massive backyard and marvel at the highly productive garden that also houses a caravan, sheds and chook run!
This precious parcel will reward the fortunate buyer with the kind of family property that most of us only dream of. The charming home is a short stroll from shops and schools whilst feeling private and tucked away from the world. If you can't move here just yet, and are looking for the ideal holiday home, the property also sits within the Shire's Permissible Zone for Holiday Houses, so approval may be sought. Down the track, you may decide to subdivide to create two assets, making the property even more valuable.
It is a real privilege to sell a property that has been so lovingly restored and enhanced, and includes such a well-considered and established yard, and is all thanks to the efforts of the owner who is a talented craftsman. Please get in touch at your earliest to have a chance at securing this wonderful property.

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.
