TWO NATURAL BEAUTIES
This property offers an eclectic fusion of materials which all blend together to form two gorgeous homes nestled amongst the natural surroundings on an expansive half acre block. Situated in the highly sought after area west of town, the construction materials are a blend of natural mud brick, re-cycled Marri and Jarrah timbers, producing a distinctive and stunning blend of character. All the creature comforts are contained within the homes and offer a truly unique ambience and the perfect surrounds in which to bring up a Margaret River family.
The Main Home
The main home is a loft style design, with the downstairs area consisting of a spacious well-appointed kitchen with numerous timber cupboards and many metres of working bench space. A meals area is adjacent to the kitchen which then flows through the family area. There is a second bed room and a large bathroom, with the third room being a multifunctional space, currently being used as an office. Cathedral ceilings and raked timber beams add a height to the interior and the many windows in this amazing home bring in the light and picturesque views of the colourful gardens. The mezzanine style master suite is upstairs, with wall to wall walk in robes and a galley style ensuite. An air of light and space in this lofty area with views to the tree tops creates a cosy ambience.
Extensive paved verandahs surround the home and provide an outdoor haven for entertaining in all weather. The gardens are a blend of lawns, native trees and shrubs and there is even a cute yurt nestled amongst the trees, providing cosy guest accommodation.
The Cottage “Kibanda”
This beautifully appointed timber cottage is currently utilized as a popular fully approved Bed & Breakfast destination. Designed and built with comfort and character in mind, it offers a spacious king sized bedroom, a stylish bathroom, a well equipped kitchen/meals area and a cosy loungeroom.

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.
