A private estate of 500 acres including 1.2km of coastline and 1km of highway frontage, located within 45 minutes of jet airport.
This is one of the few remaining large coastal plots along the fast developing corridor between Dongara and Geraldton in Western Australia.
* Coastal Property zoned for Tourism Development
* 10 kms from the charming towns of Dongara and Port Denison
50 kms from Geraldton and Airport
365 kms from Perth

* 200 further acres of unspoilt Coastal Duneland
* Limestone Villa and Outbuildings
* Bore Water and copious Wind and Solar Power

Western Groves has yet to reach its full potential. Investment now will be amply rewarded as resources and tourism combine to draw focus to the Dongara - Geraldton region.
The Coastal Lifestyle
The property has 1.2kms of pristine coastline with easy boat access at Seven Mile Beach Road, which is a metalled road leading from the Brand Highway to a car park at the shore.
The beach is protected by a reef offshore and offers good swimming snorkeling, kite surfing and canoeing.
Apart from aquamarine seas and blue skies, Dongara is famed for its delicious crayfish. Licenses are available for both amateurs and professionals. Line and net fishing also reap tasty rewards in the form of Taylor, Herring, Mullet, Dhufish etc.
Substantial Eco-Villa
The villa is made from limestone with jarrah floors reclaimed from the old Swanbourne Hotel. The kitchen cupboards and fittings are also of recycled timber and all power is generated from on-site solar panels and wind turbine.
All of the roofs harvest rainwater which provides ample year round fresh water for all except the irrigation which is fed from two bores. State of the art composting toilets eliminate the need for flushing water or septic tanks.
The villa has five fireplaces and is beautifully appointed. It can act as a Main Residence, a Guest Villa or a Pavilion. In addition, the property boasts two large sheds (one closed and one open fronted) and a straw bale potting shed, with enclosed veggie garden.
Development Potential
At the moment the property is used as a very exclusive, very private residence.
However it is zoned for tourist development and the local shire encourages projects such as holiday cottages, visitor centres, resorts, retreats and a myriad of other profit making possibilities.
Olive Grove
The 2,000 tree olive grove started to bear fruit in 2010 and all of the olives are purchased by the local co-operative, except for those required for the “Western Groves” brand.
The grove can be “hands-on” or “hands-free” with local labour available to take care of maintenance, harvesting and processing.
With extra virgin olive oil prices now rising worldwide, expansion of the olive grove would be a meaningful investment; and a café / cellar door facility would reap rewards from the highway exposure.
