MARGARET RIVER STYLE
This home is nestled amongst tall timbers and bushland and located opposite a native forest reserve, only 1 km from the main street of Margaret River and only 300 metres from the River itself. Built with a fusion of rammed limestone and natural timbers, the distinctive blend of character and atmosphere exudes a special ambience which is truly unique to Margaret River. Three enormous bedrooms, three bathrooms and a galley style laundry provide all of the accommodation needs and you can even work from home in great comfort as a segregated space provides an ideal home office. A spacious north facing games room captures the climate perfectly and opens out onto a patio that is bathed in winter sunshine whilst being cool and shaded in summer. The kitchen is large, light and bright with super-sized windows, jarrah cabinetry, expansive benchtops and masses of storage. The dining and the living spaces are enhanced with timber lined cathedral ceilings and soaring highlight windows capture the light and the views of the treetops beyond.
Native gardens encapsulate the outdoor patios and decking and for the icing on the cake, there is a rammed limestone studio/work shop located to the rear of the property.
Homes with this much Margaret River charm and character are highly sought after and it is a rare occurrence for one of this quality to come on the market.

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.
