HARWOODS COTTAGE – A LOCAL ICON

FOR SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY – Offers in the high $2 million range

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

Harwood’s Cottage is one of the last remnants of the original Quindalup townsite, dating back to the heydays of the timber industry when much of the land was cleared by the Yelverton family (Henry Yelverton).

Having been beautifully restored and re-purposed under State Heritage protocols with commerce options in mind, the heritage aspect provides the ability to dovetail a functions and accommodation business within a superb historic context which will provide the right operator with a unique marketing proposition to create a truly unique facility with a quintessential “Quindalup”, theme.
