3/3 Woodarburrup Road

Scott River East WA 6275

The hills on the property rise up to 70 metres above sea level, sheltering the valley in the heart of the block while offering ocean views to the south as well as spectacular panoramic vistas to the north, west, and east. You can drive up along the northern ridge to look out over the bush and wetlands as far as the eye can see. At dawn you can watch and hear flocks of birds waking up in the forests below.

Southern Coast Just Moments Away:
Directly across the road is the 1.5km 4-wheel-drive track to White Point Beach, where you can drive along the sand for miles and enjoy fantastic fishing & swimming. Dive into an ocean teeming with marine life, from abalone and snapper to tailor and silver bream.

Versatile Land Use:
The land can be considered by the Council for a variety of uses including but not limited to bed & breakfast, holiday accommodation, nature based park, agriculture, winery, residential building and rural pursuit/hobby farm (Zoning Table available on request). A regular and reliable income stream could be cultivated via the rapidly developing Tiny House and Hipcamp business models - see the nearby luxury off-grid retreats on littlehouserepublic.com.au for inspiration.

Prime Position:
Just 5km westward along the beach, you'll discover The Lagoon, a hidden jewel of the region. The Lagoon is a long swimming pool of serene azure waters surrounded by a shallow reef. Imagine the Rottnest Basin or Yallingup Lagoon but all to yourself, without a soul in sight. Lot 3 is perfectly positioned, next to the prime fishing spot at White Point, between the family-friendly lagoon to the west and the renowned surfing mecca of Black Point to the east.

Unique Advantages:
The current owner has overcome multiple challenges to transform this property. It previously had an environmental covenant, a water license caveat, overgrown tracks, no accessible views and no bushfire compliance. Through meticulous efforts and investment, they've had the environmental covenant discharged, secured sole ownership of the windmill and bore, and established comprehensive bushfire compliance. This includes new fire breaks, kilometres of cleared tracks and a detailed fire management plan, enhancing safety while providing access to the property's stunning topography and panoramic views. It's now primed for you to select the best building envelope site for your dream "home among the gumtrees" or holiday retreat.

Immersed in Nature's Embrace:
Beneath the canopy of Peppermint, Jarrah, Black Butt, and Red Gum trees, the understorey comes alive with Tea Tree, rushes, flowering shrubs, grass trees, and a colourful array of orchids. It's a sensory wonderland, an oasis of biodiversity that begs to be explored.

Historical Gem:
The property features the iconic "Drover's Lodge," crafted from wood and corrugated iron, harking back to the origins of White Point as a camping spot for pastoralists. Also known as the "White Point Hut," this rustic charm brings character and storytelling to your new haven. For more info, read "Follow that Bell!" by Bill Ipsen, a forthright account of droving skill and superior bushcraft in moving hundreds of cattle across untamed country, often without losing a single head (see above photo of Bill and his horse Gem at the White Point Hut).

Abundant Resources:
Lot 3 boasts a working windmill and bore, a precious resource in an increasingly water-scarce world. Nestled away from coastal erosion, it could be considered a climate change refuge, offering the potential for renewable energy, direct beach access, and a connection to pristine dams and nature reserves.
