THE REAL MARGARET RIVER
Are you old enough to remember the Margaret River of yesterday?

If not, are you young enough to wonder about its mystique and remote charm; before it became an international tourist mecca, wine region and a source of regularly Instagram-able locations?

Ever wonder about;

The Margaret River that the group settlers moved to in the 1920s?

The Margaret River that the surfers discovered and the adventurous wine entrepreneurs took a chance on in the 1960s?

The Margaret River in which the alternative lifestylers and back-to-nature architects and home builders set up routes in the 1970s?

We are so lucky today to have such a globally significant, food, wine and tourism mecca, with all of the interconnected, lifestyle, benefits, and income streams that brings but doesnt it sometimes get so busy?

Do you ever pine for that Margaret River of old that the pioneers above fell in love with, took a chance on and created something special with?

Well, it still exists!

Only a little over 10 minutes from The Margaret River Village Centre - always peaceful and soaked in greenery from every direction and away from the crowds any time of the year!

This is the real Margaret River. The Margaret River of yesterday with its dairies, Karri forests and vineyards.

Welcome home.

THE WILDERNESS HOME
Built from rammed earth, bush poles and timbers milled from an ancient old-growth Karri tree that had fallen over on the site when the owners moved here... this is a classic Margaret River home.

The home itself was built by iconic Margaret River builders Wilderness Building, and is constructed of rammed earth, bush poles and timbers and floorboards milled on site from local Marri and Karri, which give it such an authentic pedigree. Kitchen benchtops in Karri from the same ancient old-growth tree gives the home a rich warmth and atmosphere with its organic edges. Timber decks sweeping around the homes exterior on the edge of the wild and untamed forest are as exciting as they are breathtaking.

Firewood can be foraged from your own forest for the seriously warm, slow combustion wood stove in winter, or for the outdoor pizza oven in summer both are equally good for sharing a Margaret River red around with friends.

Alongside is an architecturally industrial shed, inspired by the old-school farm and shearing sheds of the region. Built from classic architectural salvage with jarrah floors and warehouse windows, this is a character addition to the property.

PRISTINE LOCATION OF FORESTS, FARMS AND UNTOUCHED SEASCAPES
This home is surrounded by the northernmost pocket of Karri forest in Western Australia - these are some of the most magnificent trees in the world and stretch from here to Albany along the South Coast and exist nowhere else.

This forest is a seam of Karris that extends Northwest from the Boranup forest and is a little known northern extension of Western Australian Karris, unique in its location and beauty.

Check out our virtual tour online and virtually walk around the decks just to get an idea of how beautiful these trees are! This place has such a cool vibe!

Make your morning coffee and step out onto the eastern deck as the sun rises and the dappled light floods through the glorious Karri trees to signal the beginning of the new day amongst the beautiful symphony of birdsong and wildlife.

Enjoy the arrival of vivid amber flocks of Red Tails and Carnabys Black Cockatoos as well as many more types of forest birds - literally everywhere around you.

Kangaroos visit each dawn and dusk.

Five tons of milled Karri is still preserved in the shed and can be included by negotiation ready for a furniture builder. What a pleasure to have such a beautiful natural resource that is so site-specific and tied to your own property. The possibilities are endless!

Feel like a surf? Only ten minutes drive Due West to Contos. Veer South to Boranup beachies or veer North to Redgate, Gas and Grunters. Some of the best untouched beaches of the South West region are right here at your doorstep. This is the type of country that really makes you feel alive!!
