….. A meandering short drive through Stoneville’s rolling green hills and lavender patches bursting in the crisp spring air; the wandering ducks greet you on arrival.

As we open the pages of this Monet colour palette, the abundance of bird and plant life surround you; from the warm splashes of sun on the veranda to the artisan lead light windows. The smoking chimney cracks the dawn behind branches heavy with blossoms. Limestone rammed earth and weather were used for the quality built home which has transformed the native bush land over nearly two decades.

The sweeping pasture, honeysuckle and jasmine perfume the air and are reflected in the lake below the wooden bridge. Long ago memories linger of Mums’ cooking and her famous Lemon Butter enjoyed thickly spread on freshly baked scones as we picnicked by the lake.

Glorious vistas over the gardens are enjoyed from the graceful homestead’s seven beautifully appointed Bedrooms.

Family and Friends are always welcome here to experience the rejuvenating peace and quiet.

As you Step through the front entrance, embrace the timber crafted staircase surrounded by pottery, gently ticking clocks and memorabilia.

Be sure to leave yourself time for a special cup of tea in the garden amidst the roses. Or perhaps retreat to the library and indulge in a favorite book as the relaxing atmosphere beckons you to pause.

The Main bedroom with its ensuite bathroom is tucked away privately and offers a panoramic view of the garden. Whilst large French windows soak up a burst of early morning sunshine to welcome the new day and the perfectly finished, well appointed wardrobes hold your favorite designer’s collection.

The inviting Family room has a heart-warming fireplace fuelled by gently crackling logs which can be
easily retrieved from the through feed wood storage. Wide doorways lead to beautiful shady verandahs where crisp salads and leisurely brunches can be shared and enjoyed. The dining room is open and perfectly placed, reminiscent of the days when families spent hours talking during relaxing sun drenched days.

The Dutch Style Country Kitchen is a huge attraction with its cheering light pine and warm tones and
just waiting to be filled
with pieces that have been collected to reflect the unique family who is privileged enough to live here. The hanging cooking pans take you back in time when the home is filled with the spicy aroma of gingerbread and other enticing goodies made from ingredients stored in the pantry.

Children can spend many happy hours using the bookshelves and play space in their own special room where they can pretend they are fairy princesses or fire breathing dragons. Or maybe just sit and read or write or daydream.

Three large bedrooms, two with Jarrah built in robes have antique doors from almost century ago. Private doors and windows open onto the gardens or an inviting courtyard by the sparkling saltwater swimming pool.
