An advertisement in the Advocate in 1921 named this farm as One of the best and earliest farms on the coast. Another ad from 1946 called it The renowned reg. Fairhill stud.
Perched on the brow of Woody Hill overlooking Somerset, the beautiful double brick home is a testament to quality building and stylish living. The farm consists of 130 acres, made up of 31 paddocks perfect for grazing with well-tended fencing and well maintained land.
The drive to the homestead winds up the hill leading you to the double garage (half of which has been converted into a fully removable office) and past the house to the enclosed vegetable garden, turning circle and 4 bay farm shed. Statuesque trees and well-tended gardens surround the home.
The welcoming entry features leadlight panelled door and opens into a welcoming foyer. The lounge flows down from the foyer and showcases stunning views over Bass Strait as well as the beautiful Blackwood feature wall with built in book case and cabinet above the brick wood store and Jindara wood heater. Pure wool Berber carpet (featured throughout the home) and pine lined cathedral ceilings with impressive Oregon beams and brick bar complete this entertainer’s dream room. The clever use of shade blinds ensures your enjoyment of the view without the heat and glare of hot summer days. A spacious alfresco area can be accessed from the upper level of the lounge through sliding glass doors and showcases cobblestone style concrete flooring with up lights, half brick walls and built in wood B-B Q.
The sitting room (or formal dining if you prefer) sits between the lounge and kitchen with a sliding door accessing the front deck and more awe inspiring views over Somerset and the Strait.

The master suite is located just off the entrance foyer through impressive timber double doors and flows into a large walk-in-robe as well as well-appointed ensuite.
