We have been running this property as one of the most successful short term rentals available in Margaret River (since it was built) 5 years ago. (more details on this aspect by request) The demand to stay at the Urban TreeHouse has astounded us, and provided an amazing business opportunity in the holiday rental business. The house has been meticulously maintained and cleaned to keep up with demand, and as a bonus to sellers we are selling the house FULLY FURNISHED.

The Master Bedroom, Large Ensuite, WIR and Expansive Balcony create a suite unto itself on the top floor. A spiral staircase with a creative ‘ART HOUSE DC’ mural leads up to the polished Blackbutt floors, and spacious bedroom. From there, a cantilevered balcony invites you to open wide, the timber bifold doors and take in the tree-top view. Adjoining the bedroom, you can kick back in the bubbling spa and watch the trees move…even the sun setting at some times of the year.

Downstairs, A gourmet galley kitchen with a living pantry, and equipped appliance area, can assist you to create state-of-the-art feasts to enjoy in the funky meals area or expansive outdoor living.

A large central water feature plays reflective light through the house, and provides cooling breezes from west to east through the louvres. One downstairs bedroom is adjacent to the lovely 2nd bathroom with walk-in shower. Another room with its own entry was used by ourselves as a large office, though could easily be used as a bedroom.

In winter, the stainless steel fire set into a stunning ‘Dado’ concrete mirror finish wall, can warm up the living room and set the scene for a romantic night in.

Both modern, stylish bathrooms are finished with quality porcelain, honed concrete and quality fixtures.

Additional to all of this, integrated landscaping, high raked timber ceilings and expansive glass, all combine to make the most of a fantastic location…just a short walk from town, and a stroll to the river. There is a decent sized lockable storage area, a lovely walk in pantry, large separate appliance area and heaps of laundry storage too. There is an outdoor shower adjacent to an undercover clothesline area, and plenty of space for off road parking.

The Urban TreeHouse is only 5-10 minutes walk to the town centre, with lots of cafes, galleries, shops and markets every weekend. Strolling in the other direction takes you into a stunning forest within minutes, which is great for hours of walking or riding. A 10 minute drive gets you to famous wineries, breweries, caves, surfing & swimming beaches…

As Designer for ‘Art House DC’ I was very excited to have the opportunity to do a ‘Design / Construct’ of my own, and create a house which was my own idea manifested in every way. Being involved in every possible aspect of the project was exciting and interesting (and challenging!) the whole way through to completion.

My intention was primarily to make a beautiful space to both relax and have fun in.

In response to the lovely site, I wanted to capture the filtered light through the canopy of the trees, and use the existing vegetation to protect the house with shade in summer…though let enough winter sunshine in for a comfortable house year round.
Cooling breeze paths, extended eaves, thermal mass, timber pergola and central water feature all add to this effect. Natural honest materials prevail throughout, with quality fixtures, fittings and appliances at every opportunity.

Artistically, as it was my own house, I didnt have to pull anything from the plan, and included unique cabinetry detailing, wall murals and styling as my own throughout.

Environmentally, I was also keen to include energy efficient appliances, solar heat pump and integrated landscaping wherever possible. The “Living Pantry” has become favourite feature, with living flavours and aroma’s at the fingertips of the cook…
