The Old Cheese Factory—Luxe Design & Country Calm

Summary:

Blending country serenity with sophisticated design, this designer retreat offers multiple living areas, a chef’s kitchen, and a spacious alfresco that opens to peaceful paddock views — perfect for lingering lunches beneath the open sky. With air conditioning and a wood-burning fireplace, comfort is assured in every season. Surrounded by acclaimed wineries, boutique dining and scenic trails, it’s the ideal base for exploring Margaret River — one of Australia’s most celebrated wine destinations.



The Space:

Winner of multiple 2024 Master Builders Awards, this former cheese factory in the heart of the Margaret River region has been transformed into a sophisticated sanctuary of industrial elegance and modern styling. Beneath soaring cathedral ceilings, the main living area features a wood-burning fireplace, an oversized L-shaped sofa and a wall-mounted TV — setting the tone for relaxed, stylish gatherings. A second lounge in the front left wing invites quiet reading, while a third, tucked within the lofted primary suite, offers a private retreat for peaceful reflection.



The gourmet kitchen centres around a generous island bench and comes fully equipped with high-end appliances, a Nespresso machine, and thoughtful details to elevate every meal. Nearby, a timber dining table for eight sits beneath warm pendant lighting — perfect for lingering meals. For alfresco dining, step onto the patio where a large table invites you to enjoy sunset dinners and local wine. Just beyond, rolling lawns stretch toward open paddocks, creating a serene backdrop for your stay.



The layout flows beautifully for families or groups: upstairs, the lofted primary suite features a king bed and an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms are on the ground floor — two with king beds and one with two singles. The ground floor also includes a spa-like main bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower, a separate powder room, and a full laundry with washer and dryer to support longer stays.



A dedicated workspace caters to guests balancing work and leisure. Year-round comfort is assured with split-system air conditioning in the main living area and two bedrooms, central air conditioning in the second lounge and two other bedrooms, ceiling fans throughout, and a wood fireplace for cooler nights. The driveway provides on-site parking for up to four vehicles.
