Magical Retreat
This beautiful parkland property is very private and has lots of wonderful little treed spaces to get to know and enjoy. With three dams, one with an island, along a winding winter creekline, and some lovable woolly lawnmowers that run up to say "Baaa Hello", it's a charming place.
The location behind the Leeuwin Ridge is sheltered from strong winter winds and the three bedroom two bathroom steel framed home is located at the rear of the block, offering total privacy. Oriented NE, it features a sunroom, perfect for a winter morning with a hot cuppa. The kitchen is recently renovated and the instant gas HWS is only a few months old. A 90,000L raintank fills early in winter, and the dam supplies plenty of water for the garden all year round.
A double garage sized shed and a smaller "stable" provide storage. The property is fully fenced.
There's subdivision potential, but it's so beautiful as it is - why would you?
Come and enjoy living in this paradise retreat on the corner of Australia, where fishing, boating and bushwalking are normal daily activities.

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.
