As the Busselton region undergoes a renaissance and population boom, this rustic oasis sits on the edge of ever-growing urban expansion. If you're looking for something different; if you want the real country feel, with room to move, veggies to grow, horses to ride and space between you and the neighbours, then Marybrook Cottage beckons for you.
This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home sits on shady lawns among mature native and exotic trees on an acreage stretching just over 5 acres. Better yet, you're at the gateway to the Margaret River Wine Region, just 3km to the Vasse Village shops, 10km to Dunsborough township and only 15km from the Busselton CBD. This idyllic location offers you the best of South West living, with a bucolic country-coastal retreat that's far enough away for quiet privacy, yet close enough to town for convenient services and facilities.
This solid brick and tile home with white-washed weatherboard extensions, has a welcoming verandah, high pressed ceilings and cornices and gorgeous Jarrah floorboards. The renovated kitchen comes complete with an exquisite British-made Esse wood fired oven.
A more recent conservatory built just off the kitchen opens out to a large paved alfresco overlooking the lawns, while the roofline hosts a solar hot water system and a set of photovoltaic panels to help reduce energy costs.
Outside, there is a well, bore, huge, insulated shed, separate granny flat, veggie patch and a variety of fruit trees. While the property itself is split into several paddocks for hobby farming. Maybe a few sheep? Some goats? A chook pen? Room for a pony! Or your own vineyard - This property previously had an acre of award-winning Semillon grapes.
This magic spot in the Busselton hinterland will be particularly attractive to city-folk looking to retire into 'the good life', equine enthusiasts, or business/investors looking to cater to the tourism market with a family get-away, short-stay lodge - just 5km from the turquoise waters of Geographe Bay.
If you have been dreaming of country life in the South West on a block that's big enough for rural adventure but just the right size to manage, then don't let this one pass you by. These lots are becoming rare as the region develops. Be quick to book an inspection.
