Designed and built in the late 1960s by renowned Australian artist Howard Taylor, this 5-acre property blends beautifully into Western Australia's lower South West, where native forest meets open farmland.
The land, once a former school site, is decorated with a mix of mature Karri, Jarrah and Marri trees, alongside established gardens with fruit trees, oaks and elms-creating a layered landscape.
The property has two dwellings - a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom family home and a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom studio, which remain largely in their original form. Shaped by a material palette and bespoke Jarrah detailing throughout with exposed beams and textured finishes, offering a wonderful connection to the landscape.
The family home is bespoke in every way and features a central galley kitchen, dining zone and sunken lounge with connectivity to the accommodation and utility areas. The sunken lounge is centred around a wood heater and incorporates a major work by Howard Taylor-a defining presence within this space. There is a delightful secondary living area to sit and contemplate. All the windows are purposefully orientated towards the view across the neighbouring farmland and forest.
The detached studio sits within the garden, its large windows oriented toward the trees-offering a quiet, light-filled space for creative work or retreat. There is also a workshop and a double garage.
Positioned within reach of the south coast, including Windy Harbour and Cathedral Rock Beach, the property also connects to the Munda Biddi Trail and Bibbulmun Track. Regional centres such as Manjimup, Albany, Denmark, Walpole, Augusta and Pemberton, along with the Margaret River Region, are all accessible for relaxed day trips.
A considered property, defined by authorship, landscape, and restraint.
