DESCRIPTION:
This authentic mud brick home sits on two acres of Australian native bush garden created by Gordon Ford, known for his landscape architecture. The property now maintained by his children, boasts all the elements important to him and his wife. It's an amazing slice of wilderness with a main residence and small cottages made of mud brick, with white wash walls and wood lined peaked ceilings. They are filled with antiques, books, and boundless treasures. The gardens have a waterfall, pond and winding paths through bush and tree lined paths. The ironwork railings and lamps were forged at nearby Montsalvat further adding to its rustic charm.
