Perfectly located half way between the townsite of Margaret River and the ocean is this delightful property that embraces all the qualities of life that "sea/tree changers" pursue. Tucked away amongst the rolling terrain half way between town and the coast, leave all the world behind at the gate as you approach along the tree encased driveway that passes over a well shaded creekline and opens up to large impressive home that is surrounded by immaculate lush gardens.
The protected main entrance of this solid double brick home opens up into a welcoming entrance portico and draws you through to a huge kitchen which is separated from the raised dining area with a spacious breakfast bar. The dining area features an impressive built in bar and leads through to a private sunken loungeroom. Sliding glass doors lead you out onto the expansive north facing elevated timber deck that soaks up panoramic views of the surrounding gardens that slope down toward the creekline.
A slow combustion stove is situated against an internal thermal wall in the living area, providing and retaining heat for the entire home. Reverse cycle air conditioning provides cooling during summer and convenient back up to the combustion stove during winter.
Two bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry with separate WC are all located on the ground floor and an internal jarrah staircase takes you to the upper storey which contains a large bathroom with separate shower and spa bath, walk through robes and a main bedroom that soaks up all the views of the surrounding gardens from its own private north facing balcony. Another bedroom is located on the south side of this upper storey. In addition, there are also rooms for study and craft/sewing, so everyone in the family will be able to spread out and explore their pursuits.
Conveniently located on the south side of the property and obscured from the main views is the "business end" of this property. Here you will find a huge 3 open bay and enclosed powered workshop and a 90,000 litre concrete water tank and a 147,000 zincalume rainwater tank. Several purpose built sheds and a decked out granny flat all provide plenty of options for ancillary pursuits. A bank of solar panels on the main shed provides ample power supply for the home, with the excess power being fed back into the main grid.
Serene views of surrounding gardens abound from every window vantage point and bring the tranquility of nature inside. Watch the kangaroos graze on the lawns and enjoy the evening song of red tail cockatoos from the adjacent native bushland. For more active pursuits, take in peaceful strolls through surrounding bushland and quiet streets or simply jump on your bike and take in the scenery on a direct ride to the beach, which is only about 50 metres from the property and accessed via a Pedestrian Accessway that straddles the eastern boundary of the property. Or throw the golf buggy in the boot and be at the entry to the Margaret River Golf Club in less than five minutes. There really is no better location for your serene Margaret River retreat or permanent home.
Privately located at the end of a quiet cul de sac and surrounded by one and half hectares of parkland, this home is also situated in the permitted zone for short stay holiday accommodation and is currently providing a healthy income as a very well occupied holiday home with all of the approvals and websites in place. This presents as an excellent investment or if you are even luckier, move in and enjoy the fantastic benefits offered by this peaceful Margaret River retreat.

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.
