Be at one with nature and shower or bathe under the stars in total privacy after working on the block, or opt for the traditional and head inside to the hand-crafted home to clean up. Enjoy a quiet drink or entertain on the lush and shady deck created from old shearing stands.
There are two main levels in the home and some split-levels, varying ceiling heights, curved walls and pleasant views from almost every room, which enhance the uniqueness and ambience of the home.
Get creative in the workshops, potter in the house gardens with private rear courtyard, admire the birds and wildlife, tend to your veggies, take in the surrounds and ponder what else you could achieve on the block.
Families, lifestylers and professionals who value character and want every box ticked on a manageable property, and who want to be close to town AND the beach, will go completely nuts for this place. Contact Blair today for your private inspection.

The townsite of Elleker is situated near the south coast, about 15 kilometres west of Albany. The W A Land Company, who built the Great Southern Railway in the period 1886-1889, planned to establish a town named Lakeside here in 1889. (named because it is close to Lake Grassmere - now Lake Powell). A comprehensive plan of development was prepared, but only a few lots were sold and there was little development. The Government purchased the railway in 1896, and redesigned the townsite. It was gazetted as Lakeside in 1899, but in 1908 was changed to Torbay Junction to prevent confusion with another Lakeside near Kalgoorlie, and because the railway station was known as Torbay Junction.
Torbay Junction is derived from there being a railway junction here, the line from Torbay meeting the Great Southern Railway. The railway from Torbay was built in 1889 to transport timber from sawmills in the Torbay area, and the railway station was known as Torbay Junction when the line opened. In 1921 the Western Australian Government Railways requested the place be renamed "Ualungup", but this name met with objections because of the similarity to Yallingup. The alternative names of Elleker and Lockyer were proposed, and the name was changed to Elleker in 1921. The name was apparently suggested by Mr J Mowforth, a member of the Albany Road Board from 1896 to 1912. Mowforth was a Yorkshireman, and he proposed the name after Ellerker in south Yorkshire. The reason for the omission of the first 'r' is not known.
