This is a large garden encompassing approximately 5 acres 100kms north of Melbourne. The original owners were Western district farmers with a passion for gardening, looking to down size to a manageable plot to enjoy in their later years.

The garden is self sufficient in water having a bore and holding dams. Since its first conception twenty years ago, the land has received less and less rain. And so with climate change in mind, recent renovations to the garden by new owners have been based around drought tolerant plant design.

The garden wraps around a centrally placed homestead and is made up of many compartments that are linked by a double entry driveway, access roads and graveled path ways. Within these spaces are a tennis court, a swimming pool and floating timber decks which connect the house with the gardens and main entertaining area to the north.

The soft landscape is of hardier exotic trees and shrubs and ground covers. They roll through the property in amoeboid shaped beds that encircle inner lawns and buildings. The property also gives many beautiful vistas – mainly internal garden views but also some beautiful panoramas overlooking the Northern hills of Melbourne

This is a property of passionate gardeners who generously open it for public and private viewings throughout the year.
