22 Yornitj Grove, Witchcliffe, WA 6286

Perfectly sized for singles, couples or a small family, this home presents a fabulous opportunity for a buyer who is looking for a practical, stylish home with impressive sustainability features, with the added bonus of all of the amazing infrastructure and amenity provided in the award-winning Witchcliffe Ecovillage. 

Designed by Seiber Design and built by the owner (a New Zealand qualified carpenter with 20 years of experience) this compact and beautifully-finished solar passive 2 bed, 1 bath home on a 328 m2 lot is barely 2 years old, and all of the hard work has been completed to the highest standard.

Built by eco-conscious owners to ensure its sustainability and comfort, this passive-solar designed, carbon negative home is self-sufficient in rainwater and solar energy (from household solar and community battery). The home presents with flair to the street with a steeply gabled zincalume roof, white painted weatherboards, colourful cottage gardens and recycled brick and timber accents. It is often pointed out by Ecovillage visitors as a perfect example of a “classic country cottage.” 

Located in sought after “Cluster 1B” with its stunning established community gardens, meeting house, picnic lawn and netted orchard, this property has a beautiful open outlook to the north down Mannitj Place and is conveniently located just a short stroll to the Village Square, conservation bush land, and the Ecovillage’s swimming dams. Hop on your bike and it's just a 30-minute ride along the Wadandi Track to Margaret River—or a ten-minute drive by car to town or Redgate Beach.

The attention to style and detail in this exceptional home is extraordinary—it is apparent that this was built and decorated with love and skill by its very talented owners. While they have made the very difficult decision to move back home to Europe to be with older family members, this means that they are also open to negotiating a package to include all furniture, appliances and indoor plants, making this a very attractive walk-in prospect for down-sizers or savvy investors.

At such a rare price point in the Margaret River Region, this gorgeous cottage won’t last long, so please don’t delay! Contact Michelle Sheridan on 0457 271 128 to make a time to view.
