‘Absolutely exceptional’: Multimillion-dollar restoration transforms heritage homestead

Many rooms open to a terrace or balcony - living rooms are on the ground floor and bedrooms on the second storey.

The estate encompasses 5.59ha and includes two additional cottages and a swimming pavilion with two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Sitting in the shade on a terrace wrapped with colourful bougainvillea is a relaxing treat on a hot summer’s day.

There’s are four living areas, ranging from formal to informal.

The owners have introduced a crisp modern aesthetic, while still acknowledging the heritage features.

The kitchen features new handcrafted European cabinetry, and there is a wine bar to match.

There are five spacious bedrooms on the upper level (plus the accommodation in the other buildings).

All rooms are bathed in natural light.

The pool pavilion has two bedrooms and a full bathroom. There is also a spa and traditional Finnish sauna.

The ceiling in the pool pavilion follows the roofline.
