SECLUDED OASIS IN TOWN
A winding driveway through natural bushland, abounding with wildflowers, leads to an expansive sunlit oasis which is home to a unique 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home plus fully approved 1 bedroom 1 bathroom ancillary accommodation. Surrounded by lush gardens and shady verandas this is the ideal place to enjoy the much sought after “Margaret River lifestyle”.
The main residence of rendered brick and iron offers plenty of character with leadlight randomly placed around the home, varying ceiling heights, terracotta flooring flowing through to exposed concrete through to carpet in the bedrooms. Two living spaces offer a formal lounge and open plan kitchen/dining with vaulted painted timber ceiling. A generous kitchen features Jarrah cupboards, compound stone benchtops, 5 burner gas hotplate and fan forced electric oven. Solid fuel heating, backed to Solar HWS, ensures this home is cosy in the winter months.
Ancillary Accommodation, built from rendered brick, stone and western red cedar, is accessed from under cover and through stable doors offering a separate kitchen and bathroom (shower/WC/vanity) with the spacious main room (bedroom/living) having carpet and reverse cycle aircon. This is currently rented out for $300/week.
There are multiple outdoor entertaining options – whether you choose the expansive paved courtyard or under the shady verandas. The massive 2/3 car carport and towering timbers, at the front of the 4,000m2 lot, provides protection from the west. Views across the valley to the east over parkland gardens make this property rare indeed.

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.
