A rare opportunity now exists to purchase an exclusive 36ha (89 acres) Margaret River property, Merribrook and a successful internationally acclaimed boutique accommodation. This could be your ultimate private property in the Margaret River Wine Region.
Celebrated as one of Australias most idyllic and inspirational luxury retreats, Merribrook is located off the Cowaramup Bay Road in a hidden valley, 4km from the Indian Ocean, in the heart of the Margaret River Wine Region. Well regarded as one of the best retreat properties of the South West region.
This is a magical natural sanctuary, alive with natural energy, great style and quality. Combine this image with pristine virgin forest, a freshwater lake and open parkland. Overlay scented landscaped gardens, a 20 metre heated swimming pool, spa, sauna and an architecturally designed, luxury lakeside retreat with nine villas, a Managers Residence and a main Lakeside Lodge. This vision splendid is Merribrook Retreat.
Embodying the spirit of this region, the Merribrook architecturally designed buildings feature deep Rammed Earth walls, high timbered ceilings, floor to ceiling large windows framing garden, lake and wild forest vistas. An Australian architectural style prevails with generous verandahs linking the gardens to the interiors. The nine individual villas are positioned for maximum privacy.
The main Lakeside Lodge is an impressive building featuring 20 foot ceilings, a large stone open fireplace, dining for 40 guests, an elegant lounge area with leather couches, a fully equipped commercial kitchen and a business office. The lodge terrace has been extended allowing a seamless integration between the lodge and the gardens. The Managers Residence features four bedrooms, a library/lounge and a new kitchen/dining area.
Twenty hectares of healthy virgin forest have been diligently conserved for four generations. Property on the Cowaramup Brook is very tightly held and is highly regarded as blue ribbon land. Merribrook is rich in good water and prime loam soils. This property well deserves its reputation as Margaret Rivers Garden of Eden.
Twenty acres of beautiful landscaped gardens have featured in the Australia’s Open Garden Scheme with deciduous trees, camellias, roses, a productive vegetable garden/ orchard and a woodland of cottonwood trees. As a member of Land for Wildlife, Merribrook is a haven for birds and Australian mammals.
Merribrook Retreat is recognized as a Western Australian leader in providing luxury escape accommodation and business conferences. Wedding ceremonies / receptions and spa/lifestyle experiences are possible.
As evidence to the popularity and respect for Merribrook Retreat, many awards have been won – five Sir David Brand Awards, two National Tourism Awards and the Jaguar Award for Excellence.
