Description

Charming Coastal Eco-Retreat Overlooking the Margaret River and Indian Ocean

Nestled on eight acres of tranquil bushland where the Margaret River meets the Indian Ocean, this beautiful straw-bale home captures the essence of relaxed coastal living. Thoughtfully designed with a north-facing, solar-passive layout, it combines sustainability, craftsmanship, and comfort in a setting that feels timeless and restorative.

Built to an exceptional standard, the residence features lime-rendered straw-bale walls, bespoke timber cabinetry, and polished concrete floors that create a natural sense of warmth and harmony. Expansive windows frame panoramic views across the river valley, national park, and ocean beyond, filling the interiors with soft light and a deep connection to the landscape. The open-plan kitchen and living area invite shared moments over a glass of Margaret River wine, complete with a Belling gas hob, dishwasher, Weber BBQ, and modern amenities for effortless enjoyment.

Two serene bedrooms provide peaceful retreats that echo the beauty of their surroundings. The queen bedroom offers uninterrupted views of the ocean and river, while the king bedroom overlooks the native treetops, offering a sense of calm and seclusion. Outdoors, an open-air bath and shower invite guests to soak beneath the vast sky as the sun sets over the water.

Guests can wander directly from the property to the riverbank, discovering native birdlife, limestone cliffs, and walking trails that showcase the natural splendor of the region. Though the owners live separately on the property, privacy is carefully maintained. Blending eco-luxury with authenticity, this charming Margaret River escape is a haven for those seeking peace, beauty, and connection to nature’s rhythm.
