Your Own Forest Retreat. A Rare Lifestyle and Eco Tourism Opportunity
INSPECTIONS BY PRIVATE APPOINTMENT ONLY
Some properties offer a lifestyle. Others offer the opportunity to create something truly distinctive.
Hidden among majestic marri, jarrah and karri forest in the peaceful surrounds of Osmington, this remarkable 47.88ha estate brings together privacy, natural beauty, established accommodation and an inspiring vision for sustainable living. Backing directly onto State Forest and just 6km from the much loved Canebrake Pool, it offers a rare combination of seclusion, scale and connection to the Margaret River region.
Whether you envision a private rural sanctuary, a nature based retreat, a wellness destination or an established lifestyle property with income potential, this is an estate with exceptional character and infrastructure already in place.
A Landscape Designed for Living and Growing:
Managed with permaculture principles, the property brings together regenerating native forest, fenced productive paddocks, established orchards and extensive Mediterranean inspired plantings. Water resources include a spring fed dam, a second dam, natural soaks, rainwater storage and a solar powered pumping system, complemented by recent earthworks and improved catchment and drainage. A strategically positioned three acre area presents an exciting opportunity for further food forest development, while mains power, solar electricity, three phase power, a traditional windmill and dual access from Hobson and Canebrake Roads add to the property's versatility.
Multiple Dwellings. Endless Possibilities:
The Farmhouse
Elevated among established gardens, the timber farmhouse offers a welcoming three bedroom, one bathroom residence with a study, sunroom, upgraded kitchen, extended master bedroom and distinctive copper bath. A sweeping veranda and generous viewing deck overlook the gardens, backyard pond and established orchard of approximately three dozen trees. A freestanding four car carport completes the main residence.
The Lodge and Caravan Retreat:
Offering additional accommodation flexibility, the timber Lodge features a generous mezzanine bedroom, two downstairs rooms, a bathroom, and spacious living areas. It presents potential for independent guest accommodation or caretaker use, subject to applicable approvals. Nearby, a bespoke caravan retreat adds another layer of character, with an open kitchen, shower and composting WC facilities.
The Hive: An Architectural Statement
At the heart of the estate sits The Hive, a striking octagonal pavilion designed to embrace its natural surroundings. Exposed timber beams, polished concrete floors and expansive windows bring the forest into the living spaces, while a spiral staircase leads to upper sleeping quarters featuring locally milled marri floorboards. With two bathrooms, a freestanding oval bath, an accessible deck level eco bathroom and a northern timber deck overlooking vines and landscaped grounds, The Hive offers a memorable retreat experience. A registered Holiday Home licence provides for up to 12 overnight guests, subject to the terms and conditions of the licence.
The Yoga Shala and Wellness Facilities:
A substantial converted shed provides a dedicated yoga and retreat space, featuring timber flooring, wood fire heating and practitioner treatment rooms. Adjacent, a purpose designed ablution block incorporates two Clivus Multrum composting toilets and dam water showers, reflecting the property's considered approach to sustainable living.
A Retreat with a Distinctive Identity:
Beyond the buildings, the landscape itself is a defining feature. A 35m diameter stone lavender labyrinth inspired by the Chartres maze creates a striking centrepiece, complemented by mature mulberries and extensive plantings of olive, fig, citrus and pomegranate trees.
For years, the property has operated as a sought after nature based venue, with existing approvals for short stay accommodation at The Hive and daytime activities. For buyers looking beyond a conventional rural holding, the foundations are here to explore a distinctive retreat or wellness concept, subject to existing approvals and any additional requirements.
A Rare Opportunity in the Margaret River Region. Significant in scale, rich in character and shaped by a commitment to sustainable living, this is a property that invites imagination. The infrastructure, accommodation and established gardens provide a substantial foundation for its next chapter, whether that means continuing its retreat use or creating a more private and personal vision for country living.
Set within the remarkable natural landscape of Wadandi Noongar Country, this is an opportunity to acquire a truly individual estate in one of the South West's most sought after lifestyle regions.
