Bunbury Mail | House of the Week: Number 870 Bessell Road, Rosa Brook oozes elegant rural charm

There is a special feel to this neat, elegant and beautifully-presented rural property.

With well maintained separate pasture and bush areas, plus a creek line, it is perfect for horses, a small number of stock, exploring niche crops or a mixture of pursuits.

Located on a quiet road around 16km east of Margaret River, access to the north is quick via Sues Road, and Rosa Brook Road offers an easy drive to Margaret River.

The 36ha property features a simple but beautiful solar-passive home with a northeast outlook allowing the early winter sun to flood the living areas.

Polished jarrah floors feel warm underfoot, and a great outdoor terrace is perfect for an intimate winter breakfast, or a summer Shiraz.

The swimmable dam is just 80m from the home and has a jetty and freestanding pergola.

The dam is substantial at about 40m in diameter and 3m deep.

Two rainwater tanks, totalling around 190,000L guarantee plenty of water for household use.

The dam supplies five big impact sprinklers around the house which are turned outward for retic in summer but can be turned inwards in case of fire.

The dam and tanks are all interchangeable.

A neat 9x6m shed is partly enclosed for storage, and partly open for machinery.

All shire approvals are in place.

The fences are in excellent condition with much of the bush separated from the pasture.

Water is supplied to troughs at strategic places and power is underground from the boundary to the house.

The water register shows water allocations available from two aquifers, and possibly a surface allocation.

This property offers a wonderful mix of pasture and bush in a quiet location.
