LIFESTYLE WITH POTENTIAL
Just a few minutes’ drive from the townsite of Margaret River and five minutes to the beach this highly desirable parcel of land offers the ultimate in tranquillity and location, with a very private 2 hectares, accessed by a 10 metre wide driveway.
With an abundance of native grasstrees, eucalypts and native timbers, Kangaroos and birds abound on this ultimate treechange lifestyle block. Elevated with views down the valley is the fully appointed shed home, modest in size, but with all creature comforts - fully equipped kitchen, slow combustion fire, two bedrooms and a comfortable separate bathroom/laundry. A paved 3metre wide veranda adjoins the home, which is surrounded by retained grounds, while a short stroll away a “bunk house” provides the ideal guest accommodation for family, friends and relatives.
Pride of place a substantial 4 bay 15m x 8m colourbond shed with power, concrete floor and some basic plumbing (for a future bathroom) will live up to anyone’s need and expectations of a shed while a 3m wide covered patio runs the length of the shed and flows out onto a large expanse of lawn.
With many of the surrounding blocks now being subdivided into 1ha lots subdivision certainly warrants your exploration. Alternatively change the use of the existing modest dwelling to “Ancillary Dwelling” and build the home you’ve always dreamt of. This property offers so much more than most.

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.
