Beautiful Farmland Just Minutes From Margaret River

64.24ha (159 acres) just five minutes from the Margaret River township, with two dams that have never run dry, a two-storey home and a comfortable shed. Land this size, this close to town, rarely comes up.

Forty thousand pines stood here until 2023. With the timber gone and the seller removing the stumps before settlement, what's left is open Wilyabrup country waiting on your plan for it. Cattle, horses, vines, an orchard, or simply room to breathe.

A stand of pines was left standing as a windbreak, and for years the owner and his sons pruned those ones into Christmas trees and sold them to families up in the Western Suburbs. That windbreak is still there, still doing its job on the south west corner.

Water is the reason this block works. Two dams, one in each far corner, both full year round. Two tanks (120,000 litres & 90,000 litres). An underground stream that keeps the front soak running through February.

The four bedroom home sits in the middle, tenanted and tidy, master and ensuite downstairs, chickens still running the fenced backyard.

The Shed was lovingly built by the owner using recycled materials sourced from all over the state and provides relaxing rustic comfort with splendid north facing views over the property. The end walls are fridge panels from the Batavia exhibit, complete with a Fremantle graffiti mural. The north wall is timber from John Septimus Roe's horse stables. The decking came off the old East Fremantle naval jetty. Inside, a Miele kitchen, hot showers and 12.4 metre floorboards.

The Shed is approved as a shed. It has been fitted out and used as comfortable accommodation, as many sheds in the shire are, and the next owner can continue that or apply to have its use formally approved. We encourage buyers to make their own enquiries with the shire.
