THE HAVEN
A rare opportunity now presents to secure a piece of Margaret River history. This generation owned family built, solid brick rendered homestead on 3.17ha is situated 3km directly west of town.
Nestled amongst your own Karri & Jarrah Forest with a mature orchard and acres of lawn, this is what dreams are made of! Boasting valley views, absolute privacy and backing onto a natural creek line feeding into the Margaret River, this iconic property on exclusive Illawarra Avenue, is being made available for the first time in a half century.
The tiled kitchen is roomy, functional and sits at the heart of the home with centrally located pot belly fireplace providing warmth. Wrapping around the central living area are two generous bedrooms, two large living zones, bathroom and laundry. Raked timber ceilings throughout, jarrah door trims, carpets & window treatments compliment the country feel and each room in this home offers views of the beautiful surrounds.
A carport addition provides shaded parking for two vehicles, along with additional storage for tools and equipment.
Sit under the verandah or amongst the mature Jacaranda trees by your firepit or make good use of the 6m x 6m workshop.
The orientation of this prime property is the perfect hobby or permaculture farm with pump shed and power in position for a bore (subject to shire approval) for watering.
Privacy is guaranteed with an electric front gate and high fencing. These fences in turn keep out unwanted furry visitors and protect your orchard, established garden and vegies.
When the native birds are heralding the end of the day, you can put your feet up and toast each other for your good decision in securing this beautiful Margaret River property. It’s special enough to almost guarantee it won’t be available again for another half century.

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.
