Here’s the chance to own a truly superb rural gem in Australia’s celebrated South West. This picturesque, must-see property holds the high ground above lush valley country 15 minutes south of Margaret River. It boasts 50 acres of rich and rolling pasture land, a charming and fully-renovated French-style homestead – all of it with sweeping panoramic views across the farmlands to the Leeuwin Ridge.
Along with the already stunning views from the main residence, this property also offers a compelling further package of potential to take it to even higher levels as an investment opportunity.
Shire guidelines allow for the building of an additional two chalets or a second homestead; a site on the property’s highest hilltop with its 360 degree views picks itself as an ideal location to add even more charm – and value — to this already asset-rich property.
Here’s the checklist as it now stands:
It’s all about lifestyle.
Being within easy reach of Margaret River is one plus. Add to that the nearness of the famed Redgate Beach and all of the other equally famous coastal locations of the Margaret River region. Then top it up with the celebrated wine country-cum-restaurant attractions and you have the keys to all that makes this part of the world so very special. And that’s just the “off-property” bit.
The real nub of it all is the joy of the property itself . . .
its space, its serenity, its privacy. And, of course, the big one:
its amenity.
The owners have recently completed two years of extensive renovations to bring a new and very special ambience to the home itself and to embrace its truly wonderful rural outlook.
The total effect is simply stunning.
The home is light and bright. It’s crisp. It’s quite simply joyous.
A high-key finish of muted beige and white sets the tone for the home’s main living area with its high-thrust and raked lime-washed ceilings.
Bi fold doors lead out into the spacious and covered entertainment deck.
The adjacent dining and kitchen area, also with a lime-washed ceiling and timber detail such as extra-wide Jarrah flooring, is fitted with top-of-the-range appliances.
White-shuttered doors and windows provide a stylish link throughout the house.
Three generous high-ceiling bedrooms occupy one wing of the house. New high-quality carpets feature throughout the bedroom zones. Two brand new bathrooms feature a soothing finish in white and charcoal. There are two WCs and a laundry.
Three outside decks are surrounded by quality gardens and large lawn areas — all within a secure yard for pets and children.
On the practical side: There’s a large farm shed with three car bays.
A reliable dam supplies gravity feed to four paddock-located water troughs for stock. Separately, three large pure rainwater tanks supply the house.
The property’s pasture is fertile and well managed. It supports stock all year round without additional feeding. The present owners run horses. Strong stands of mature trees in well-selected locations enhance the visual appeal and provide plenty of shade. These include Jarrah, Marri and Redgums.
On the romantic side:
Simply take yourself down the long, timber-lined driveway of this wonderful property. You’ll come to one of the cutest houses in the Margaret River region. Chances are you’ll have found your El Dorado.
