AMARA An architectural flare from the past, featuring enduring design concepts deliberately intended to enrich the enchanted 7 acre Marri, Karri and Jarrah forest setting. You will be transported back to a time when Margaret River was about escaping to the bush, blowing off the city and getting away from it all. Take a step back in time. Start by soaking in the outside claw foot tub under a Peppy tree then gather the family around the BBQ of freshly caught abalone and crayfish, finish the night by an open pit campfire! You will be in your own little world where time stands still welcome to Amara.This holiday house was famously designed by Ian Hooke in the late 90's with the brief for the house to be "anything but suburban" - "possess a great sense of family" and "harmonise with the bush". A timeless brief revealed only upon inspection.The block is elevated and predominantly bushland with a winter creek line running and meandering along the western boundary. The elevation gives you privacy from the two neighbours, the dual road frontage allows for a variety of outcomes. Well located minutes to both the Margaret River Township and the beach at Prevelly, "Amara" is an easy 3 hours drive south of Perth. The kitchen hub is central to "Amara" along with the large north facing window behind the open fireplace in the living room which places you right into the nature of the block, be it sun strewn summer or wet and wild winter, you are front row for all the action. A large barn door opens onto the entertaining deck, BBQ area and tranquil bush setting. Completed with three bedrooms, the master mezzanine is perched above the kitchen in hexagonal form with windows at all angles, you will never sleep as sound as in the tree tops of "Amara". The minor bedrooms are located at the rear of the house along with another living area, bathroom and laundry. The home is crafted from rustic materials, understated Jarrah timbers and bush poles feature throughout, solid rendered walls and earthen floors combine with strategically placed feature glass capturing the bushland setting and northern light perfectly. Simple, effective, warm and welcoming this is a home that will have the "in" crowd wishing they had a down south escape as true to form as "Amara"."Amara" is on the lookout for someone who has a vision for the future, who appreciates, that with a bit of TLC, she can once again provide a synergy well beyond the sum of her parts. An inspection will surprise!For further information contact your Margaret River Real Estate Agent, David Cross on 0439 496 926.
