3 Bussell Highway, Margaret River WA 6285

Well known by tourists and visitors to the Margaret River Region as "A Stone's Throw", this cottage is one of Margaret River's original residences. Built in the 1960's and renovated in recent years, the home has evolved and changed with the times, but still oozes character, warmth and charm.

Located at the gateway to Margaret River, the property enjoys a premium location at the foot of the National Forest as well as being a comfortable walking distance to shopping, cafe's, restaurants, the new Margaret River Brewhouse and a stone's throw to the picturesque Margaret River, the Rails to Trails track that winds through the forest and the Rotary Park. Perched in an elevated position, the outlook is peaceful over the trees.

The home has a modern kitchen with the old fashioned family dining experience of having the table in the centre of the kitchen. There are two large bedrooms and a lounge room, which is complete with a cosy wood heater. Comfortable and stylish, the cottage features polished floorboards throughout the living areas. The renovation included a new kitchen, polished floors, new bathroom cabinets and interior repainting. The exterior was painted more recently in modern colours. Although the cottage has old world charm, it has modern conveniences such as electric cooking, and two reverse cycle air-conditioners.

Out the back door, the completely fenced, child friendly back garden overlooks towering Marri and Karri trees. The birds are abundant so you can expect to enjoy watching them as you eat your breakfast or enjoy your BBQ!

Recently the addition of a very modern and functional "pod" style accommodation has added to the overall appeal of the property as you can live in one and rent out the other, keep teenagers at a distance or have a home business.

This ultra-modern accommodation features a sitting area, fully functional kitchen, bedroom area and a bathroom. The pod is located at the rear of the 1,012sqm property, which enjoys a delightful forest outlook and is cleverly designed to be separate from the main house giving it the independence to be utilised for many purposes. With a large deck on the north elevation the living area is almost doubled for eating and relaxing.
In an effort to help the environment, rainwater is collected when it's abundant and used through a UV filtration system for both the house and pod, but mains water is there to automatically supplement. All grey and black water is recycled through the efficient Fuji Alternative Treatment Unit and then reticulated below ground to various parts of the garden. Overhead energy efficient fans are installed in all major rooms and LED or low energy lighting has been used throughout the property.
