37 Curtis Street

Cowaramup WA 6284

When people walk into 37 Curtis St, the word heard is 'WOW'. Its eclectic, warm and classic beauty is incomparable-the result of a home hand built by previous owners using a range of sustainably sourced materials-and features reclaimed timbers of historic significance. Light shines through in all the right places and every glance at the bush through the leadlight windows is instantly calming. The home and studio complex are set on a large quarter acre block surrounded on 3 sides by WA State Govt and Rail Reserve (The Wadandi Track) land. The location is the perfect blend of town and country- a gorgeous secluded bush environment, yet just a short walk or bike ride into town for coffee at The Gourmet Merchant or an organic lunch at The Black Sheep Deli. The Wadandi walk, cycle and bridle trail snakes through forest to Margaret River for 13.5km and is conveniently located right at your front door. A 12 minute drive delivers you to the breathtaking waters of Cowaramup Bay where you can fish, surf and swim the days away, or connect with the world-renowned Cape to Cape hiking trail, a biodiversity hotspot accessible for 125km, between the area's two iconic lighthouses.The home is light, natural and has a homely energy that is hard to describe. It was constructed from a range of sustainably sourced materials and features reclaimed timbers of the old Witchcliffe Timber mill. A 12 metre Karri ridge beam spans the main studio and defines a large open area suited to a range of options. Kitchen, living and second storey have beautiful jarrah floors throughout and provide a warm and comfortable retreat.A delightful private courtyard captures sunlight and provides a lovely outdoor living area. Huge work and/or living spaces, plus a separate shed and sleep out with three-phase power, overlooking bush and pasture, make this property highly desirable. The shed space could suit conversion to a self-contained ancillary dwelling (if approved by local govt), with gazetted laneway access. Solar panels on a buyback scheme with the state grid plus multiple rainwater tanks largely eliminate utility costs. Scheme water is connected for easy top ups to water supply if required.Native gardens provide habitat for endangered Western ringtails, Quendas, Black Cockatoos, Slender Green Tree Frogs and many other endemic species that share the iconic neighbourhood. Owners recently put in a beautiful lawned area in the yard as well as three veggie beds that are freshly sprouting.Situated on an original townsite allocation in the sought after location of Cowaramup, you will enjoy the feeling of a semi rural property, with access to open space and bushland, yet walk to school, post office and village-style shops and cafes. This welcoming home is a versatile property that can offer a myriad of possibilities to the discerning buyer. It truly is something special.
