Legacy of Love

For over well 100 years 14 Carmel Road has been home, business and sanctuary to one family and three generations since 1904.

Originally part of a 30 acre plot and primarily used for fruitful agriculture pursuits such as the production of strawberries, vegetables and later on a commercial orchard it's now a near 10 acre legacy of love that has been the heart and soul to one of the oldest pioneering families of this region.

In actual fact three generations of the 'one family' have been raised not just on this land but in this very homestead that stands proud and strong on this unique and undulating landscape.

The homestead is the quintessential Australian home for its era. Built in the early 1900s it offers all the hallmarks of its time including wide verandas, high ornate ceilings, thick chunky walls and not to mention the glorious timber floors that still lay hidden under carpets in most of the home.

In addition to the main home there is also a separate humble workman's cottage that yearns to be preserved and reinvented to become the ideal Bed and Breakfast or just a second home for extended family and guests.
