Cockatoo Ridge - A Rare Legacy Property Beside Wilson Inlet

Some properties are purchased. Others are entrusted to the next generation.

For the first time in more than a century, one of Denmark's most significant rural holdings is being offered to the market. Having remained within the same family since 1913, this remarkable property has been cared for by generations, preserving its rich history while creating an extraordinary opportunity for those seeking an exceptional rural lifestyle.

Set across approximately 126 acres of beautifully managed countryside, Cockatoo Ridge combines productive farmland, breathtaking natural beauty and an enviable position beside Wilson Inlet. Just minutes from the heart of Denmark and only a short drive to the popular Boston Brewery, it offers the rare balance of privacy, productivity and convenience.

The sense of peace is immediate. Expansive views stretch across rolling paddocks, mature trees and the shimmering waters of Wilson Inlet, while the adjoining reserve provides direct access to the inlet for kayaking, fishing, birdwatching or simply enjoying one of the Great Southern's most treasured natural environments.

Designed for relaxed family living, the spacious residence embraces natural light and captures beautiful water views from most rooms. Generous living areas provide space for entertaining and everyday comfort, creating a welcoming home that has been enjoyed by generations and is ready to begin its next chapter.

Adding another layer of versatility is the substantial brick and Colourbond studio, originally operating as a thriving tourist café and restaurant. Rich with character and opportunity, this impressive building offers exciting potential for commercial, creative or community-based pursuits, complementing the property's unique blend of lifestyle and enterprise.

Beyond the residence, the property reflects decades of thoughtful planning and careful stewardship. Multiple spring-fed dams provide dependable year-round water, complemented by additional gravity-fed water troughs servicing the paddocks and a pressure-fed system supplying the established house gardens. Quality fencing, extensive shedding and garaging, well-appointed stockyards complete with a crush and loading ramp, infrastructure to comfortably support livestock, farming pursuits or a diverse rural lifestyle.

The landscape itself tells a story of care and sustainability. A protected wetland sanctuary at the south-eastern end of the property provides an important habitat for native birdlife, while established orchards, productive raised vegetable gardens and magnificent century-old mulberry trees reflect an enduring connection to the land.

Further enhancing its appeal, Cockatoo Ridge benefits from Shire approval for a four-bay Nature Park Farm Stay nestled amongst the trees, presenting exciting scope for future tourism or business diversification. A dedicated outdoor firepit entertaining area, wireless security system, cool room, fish-cleaning facilities and an extensive range of supporting infrastructure ensure the property is equally suited to family life, recreation and productive farming.

Despite its peaceful setting, Cockatoo Ridge is only minutes from Denmark's renowned wineries, cafés, galleries, schools, spectacular coastline and walking trails, It offers the best of both worlds-complete rural tranquillity with the convenience of a vibrant regional community close at hand.

Large landholdings in this tightly held location rarely become available, and few carry the history, versatility and natural beauty found here. Cockatoo Ridge is far more than a rural property; it is a place that has been cherished by generations for more than 100 years, offering an opportunity to continue a remarkable story while creating a legacy of your own.

A century of family history. An extraordinary opportunity. A future limited only by your imagination.
