Why You'll Love It
In the heart of Witchcliffe yet wrapped in a peaceful bush setting directly opposite national parkland, this handcrafted rammed earth home sits on a generous 1,011 sqm block where every detail speaks of place. Thick earthen walls, hand-finished timber joinery throughout, and an effortless connection between indoors and garden create something genuinely rare, a home with real substance, just nine kilometres south of Margaret River and minutes from Redgate Beach and the caves and karri forests of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.
The Home
An open-plan living, kitchen and family area forms the heart of the house, flowing through wide openings onto a large covered rear timber deck. Upstairs, a mezzanine master bedroom offers a private retreat above the treetops, with services roughed in ready for an ensuite. Two further bedrooms and a study, easily a fourth bedroom, sit at ground level. One bathroom and toilet serve the home, with an outside shower adding to the relaxed bush character. Attic storage provides practical overflow space above.
Beyond the Walls
A standalone studio with its own 9,000-litre rainwater tank provides genuine separation for a home office, creative space or guest accommodation. Two workshop sheds offer room for serious projects or storage, and established gardens with fruit trees, native plantings, raised vegetable beds and a chicken coop round out the productive side of the property. Rear laneway access adds practical flexibility for trailers, boats or extra vehicles.
Off-Grid Ready
There is no mains water here, and you won't miss it. A 90,000-litre rainwater tank services the house, while bore water feeds the toilet, garden reticulation and bore pump. A 12-panel, 4.6 kW solar array generates clean electricity, solar hot water is backed by a wood heater plumbed into the hot water system, and energy costs stay remarkably low. It is the kind of infrastructure that quietly pays for itself, season after season.
