Peaceful Hideaway!
Tucked away in the middle of a lovely 3 hectares bush block, offering peace and privacy, you will find this well set up property. The house consists of a spacious open plan lounge and dining which is overlooked by a galley kitchen, this area has tiled floors and is heated by a large enclosed wood fire. There are 2 double bed, 2 toilets and 1 bath, plus the large laundry, but it doesn't finish there. With access from both front and rear the original carport has been filled in and would make a great games or bunk room. Wide verandahs offer both shade and a place to sit out on the peaceful summer evenings. The property is well served with generous workshop/storage in the form of 2 double garages plus a boat bay. Whilst you feel you are miles away from everything, you are actually on the outskirts of town and a mere few minutes from the shops and our beautiful beaches. Currently leased to a long term tenant, it also provides an excellent holding income. I highly recommend any genuine buyer to have a look so contact me now for a private viewing.

Augusta overview
The most south westerly town in the state, Augusta was named by Gov. Sir James Stirling in May 1830. Until 2003 it was thought the name honoured Princess Augusta Sophia, second daughter of King George III and Queen Charlotte. In 2003 the book "James Stirling - Admiral and Founding Governor of Western Australia" a letter by James Turner is referred to which states "a town is purposed to be built named Augusta, County of Sussex, in compliment to the Duke". Princess Augusta Sophia died unmarried, and the "Duke" is most likely the Duke of Sussex, Augustus Frederick (Hanover), the 6th son of George III. He married Lady Augusta Murray in 1793, but the marriage was deemed a violation of the Royal Marriage Act, and was declared null and void in 1794. Lady Augusta Murray is most likely the person after whom Augusta is named.
