The Best of Both Worlds
Riverforest Cottage is on the market. Properties like this only come available once every blue moon!
This 3 bedroom home backs directly on to the karri forest with easy access to walk and bike trails along the Margaret River and on top of this is, you are only 200 metres from the main street.
The house has only recently been renovated and painted. It still holds its original charm with polished floor boards in most areas. The property is also well positioned on the block so if you are not looking at the forest you are looking at an established garden from every window in the house.
This would make a beautiful home for a perfect down south lifestyle, however it's also an ideal weekender or investment, having already been successfully let short term for more than $1000 per week.
The owners say they will miss the beautiful garden most. The magnolias, frangipanis and camellias were planted by their mother over 50 years ago. Other feature trees include a Japanese maple, dogwood and NSW Christmas tree. The garden attracts blue wrens and other birdlife, easily watched from the comfortable back verandah.
Other features include:
• Polished jarrah floors
• Fully renovated bathroom
• Wood fire heating and air conditioner
• Veggie Patch
• Single car shed with separate storage area.

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.
