Description

Ensconced down a sweeping sealed driveway, this century old grand dame and accompanying cottage is serenely nestled on 7.06 breathtaking acres of beautifully sculptured Edna Walling gardens, rolling lawn and a temperate rainforest backdrop. Located in the heart of the hills walking distance to three separate wedding reception venues and renowned gardens, the property is not only perfect for big and multigeneration families seeking peace and seclusion immersed in the Sherbrooke Forest but also as an income producing accommodation stay with the allure of a stunning in-ground pool with spa, and tennis court. Bridal parties, honeymooners, wedding guests and those looking for group accommodation have all loved their 5-star stay at “Selsdon Park”.

Circa 1920 the timeless art deco and art nouveau design melds with the modern day and harmoniously blends with its verdant surroundings reflecting the ever-changing beauty of the seasons and fostering an organic connection to the outdoors. Age-old gardens frame the home showcasing meandering stone pathways, towering Bunya pine, Chestnuts, Oaks, Cedars, Maples, Rhododendrons and many flowering annuals /perennials synonymous with the region. Masterfully designed, matching character, comfort and enviable versatility framed by nature's beauty; style and sophistication unite to deliver an impressive and refined domain.

Whether you’re here for a lifetime or just a weekend, the lifestyle on offer in your own private paradise is incomparable. Children can “choose their own adventure” exploring the sprawling grounds, enjoy a game of tennis or basketball, take a stroll or a power walk around the magical gardens or just curl up with a book in front of one of two stunning stone fireplaces.

There’s canapes to be had in the formal lounge that spills to a brand-new deck while the kids turn up the volume in the family room or enjoy hosting friends and family with summer barbeques in the outdoor kitchen.
Spread out or come together. It’s a home for solitude as much as celebration.
One thing is for sure, the fun will always be at your place, as nowhere else will compare, with the numerous, expansive alfresco areas which cleverly fringe this inviting home providing the perfect dance floors, or outdoor dining areas. Alternatively - simply plonk yourself in the pool on your inflatable flamingo with your G&T.

The main residence boasts three prominent living areas over two levels with two bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs and two bedrooms and one bathroom downstairs accompanied by a living zone with kitchenette on the pool level. The master bedroom features a contemporary ensuite and walk-in-robe whilst the beautiful Jarrah bench kitchen with country flair features a communal breakfast bar, premium 900mm stainless-steel cooker, wine fridge and dishwasher.

A separate one-bedroom cottage is fully self-contained and showcases a conservatory entry, handsome timber wainscoting, window bench seats, full kitchen, and bathroom. Ideal for the in-laws, adult children or guests whether they are paying or otherwise this flexible accommodation provides a multitude of options.
