• 891sqm freehold strata titled 'Family' lot
• 177sqm Exclusive Use Area (EUA) productive garden
• Cluster 2A of the Witchcliffe Ecovillage
• Short Stay Accommodation Use allowed on this lot, subject to Shire approval.
WHAT MAKES THIS LOT SPECIAL? SHORT STAY HOLIDAY RENTAL CAPABILITY.
Buy and build on this flexible, multi-use lot and the choice is yours:
• Live in it as an Owner Occupier and make the Ecovillage your home, OR
• Invest and rent it as an Airbnb-style short stay accommodation, OR
• Invest and rent it to long term tenants
The proximity of this lot to the 'Village Centre' zoned commercial precinct of the Witchcliffe Ecovillage means it falls under the planning regulations that allow the main home to be used as holiday rental accommodation, subject to Shire approval. This is a rare and valuable addition to any property within the Shire of Augusta Margaret River.
At 891sqm, there is enough room to plan for an ancillary dwelling (granny flat) alongside a modest main house. While the granny flat can't be used as a short stay rental (less than 3 months) like the main house can, they can be lived in or rented long term (3+ months). So whichever way you slice it, this lot represents oodles of opportunity for the right Buyer.
In addition to the freehold strata titled house lot, you have 100sqm of Exclusive Use Area (EUA) productive garden in which to grow fruit, vegies, flowers and herbs. It's the perfect place to build your new home within the embrace of the sustainable Witchcliffe Ecovillage community.
A change of circumstances for the Perth-based owner has meant they are reluctantly selling and offering their Ecovillage lifestyle dream to the next lucky owner.
Join a row of lovely neighbours along Wolghine Ave (the local Wadandi word for 'Ocean Spirit'), some of whom are still building and some already well established and active in the cluster. You'll find a great mix of young families, couples and singles of all ages and backgrounds. Wander into the shared community garden in the middle of Cluster 2A for community activities in the beautiful Jarrah-clad Community Meeting House, covered orchard and integrated chicken pen, play space and lawn area.
Like all Ecovillage lots, 21 Wolghine Ave has been oriented to ensure maximum solar gain into your passive solar home with living areas (and solar panels) facing north. To the east, the home will overlook your EUA vegie patch and the landscaped wetland swales of the shared community garden. The lot is designed for rear loading with plenty of room for a carport beside a rainwater tank on the western side. All homes in the Ecovillage must be built in accordance with the Sustainable Building Design Guidelines, which ensure excellent thermal efficiency and performance thereby drastically reducing the need for heating and cooling. Of course, this also cuts your living costs, which are already low thanks to 100% self-sufficiency in water and electricity.

From this central location, walk down the street to the Village Square, Community Centre and future Ecovillage pub, and the Witchcliffe town centre is itself a mere stroll away. The town is undergoing an exciting transformation with new favourite haunts, Marmalade Witchcliffe (local produce store and social enterprise) open across the street from popular Dear Darnells in the Witch and Windmill, and McHenry Hohnen's new tapas bar and wine tasting rooms under construction on the main street. Witchcliffe is a-buzz!
