This delightful property is privately located within the landscape of the Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge and provides the perfect scenario for those seeking a secluded lifestyle. Located at the end of a quiet cul de sac and nestled amongst 3.09 hectares of beautiful south west bush and only a 2.5 km walk from the coast, be lulled to sleep by the distant sounds of rolling surf and wake up every morning to nothing but the sounds of birdlife.
The entrance driveway meanders through the bush and leads to the stylish steel frame colourbond clad two bedroom two bathroom home that is nestled amongst nature and compliments the natural surroundings. Adding to the serenity are two winter creeks that flow through the block, providing the perfect habitat for a unique ecosystem of rare and endangered wildlife, as well as a proliferation of native flora, including wildflowers and ancient grass trees that stand majestically through the bush.
Two dwellings on the property provide several accommodation options. The main house is currently used for short stay accommodation and is licensed for this use until 2025. This modern stylish home has spacious open living, kitchen and dining area with jarrah floorboards throughout. The living room has a large wood fire place that can be fed forever with free firewood that can be sourced from the block. Serene views of surrounding gardens abound from every window and bring the tranquility of nature inside. Relax on the deck that surrounds the home and watch the kangaroos graze and enjoy the evening song of red tail cockatoos from the adjacent native bushland. Impress your guests by flicking a switch and lighting up the canopy of the forest with LED lighting that captures the ambience of the Australian bush at night. For more active pursuits, take in peaceful strolls through surrounding bushland along trails to the beach.
There is also a studio size dwelling that is shire approved for use as a shed, but with application, could possibly be converted to another accommodation option. There is also an incredible 16m x 7m colourbond shed that is capable of providing undercover parking for three vehicles, whether they be cars, caravans or even a boat. This shed also has workshop and office space that could be used for a myriad of purposes.
Further afield from the home and set amongst the forest is a private camping area that even has the luxury of power and water, providing the ultimate campground for visitors, teenagers or even a romantic getaway under the stars.
Abundant rainfall captured in a 130,000 litre rainwater tank provides more than enough water for household use. A low yielding bore provides plenty of water for the prolific fruit trees and vegetable gardens, with the two winter creeks keeping the natural ecosystem refreshed and providing a beautiful backdrop to this delightful property that provides everything you need to escape the rat race, get back to nature and and get on with living your best life.

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.
