CHARMING RAMMED EARTH CHARACTER COTTAGE
Tucked away in a private, peaceful cul-de-sac bushland setting is this absolutely delightful Margaret River Style residence. The locale is idyllic, so close to the town centre, yet in a locale amongst the trees that you feel like you are miles away. In the summer you can duck around the corner for a swim in the Margaret River or a paddle. Set on a generous 884m2 lot, the home boasts rammed earth and jarrah construction throughout with a matching free standing shed with a loft that makes for a brilliant artists studio. Soaring high roof lines with exposed jarrah rafters feature as do timber ceilings to the kitchen dining area and wooden boards to the loft bedroom/s lounge area upstairs.
Wrapped in low maintenance established gardens, while away the time on the fantastic wide verandahs and take in the gorgeous outdoor setting. A brilliant spot to lounge around in a hammock and have a barbie. Properties like this are scarce to the Margaret River market so make a time to inspect as soon as you can.

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.
