509 Hadley Road, Forest Grove, Margaret River WA 6285

Many of us crave to connect more deeply with our environment, and here is an opportunity to truly be at one with nature - two strawbale dwellings, native bushland, winter creek and soak all combine to create a natural haven 13 kilometres by bike to the Margaret River township.
The welcoming main homestead, a fantastically rambling straw-bale, mudbrick and native timber residence, consists of 6 large bedrooms with various living areas and 3 bathrooms. 100m away is a separate cottage (with Shire Short Stay Approval), that is also of straw-bale construction, with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, open plan living, multi-purpose room (used as artist studio) and storeroom. Incredible insulative qualities are gained by the straw bales, and both dwellings face north for additional solar benefits.
The homes nestle perfectly into a unique landscape that has significant water passing through in winter and spring, a soak, 8 hectares of National Trust Conservation, and great soils for growing intensive food crops. This special environment supports a host of wildlife including endemic mammal species and a myriad of birds.
You will feel your creative juices come alive in this inspiringly beautiful and quirky property. When the wind blows from the west you can hear the crashing of the surf on Redgate Beach just over the ridge, and days are filled with birdsong. Located 15kms from Margaret River, and perfectly located close to everything the area is world-renowned for, you can readily create your dream life here.
