When you close your eyes and breath deeply to become centred, you try to envision the most beautiful scene imaginable, where delicate leaves sway on a gentle breeze, where a wondrous garden is dignified by granite formations and a verdant carpet of soft grass rolls across an undulating landscape, leading your focus to distant panoramic views of majestic mountain ranges.
If you should take a moment to do this at "Mica Grange" simply tilt your face toward the sun, open your eyes and allow them to slowly wander across your whole field of vision, then you can truly immerse yourself in the fulfilment of being, and actually being in the place you envisaged.
Mica Grange is a place of such natural beauty, that has been so lovingly developed with the utmost consideration to not only preserving, but always complementing the setting, that it has become renowned as a venue for hosting sculpture exhibitions, open garden displays and for precious memorable events like weddings and musical recitals.
From the moment you arrive at this property it is abundantly clear that it is all about aesthetics, a wonderfully weathered metallic "Mica Grange" welcomes you upon a meandering driveway which brings you past mighty boulders where sleepy lizards will scurry away if you disturb them, not so, the mischievous fairies who dance around the toadstools at the base of the most fascinating gnarly old tree you may ever see.
The landscape opens up before you as you near the highly engineered home, which is somewhat of an artwork, in and of itself, constructed in tiers of bagged brick and Castlemaine stone in sandy tones reminiscent of a Mediterranean villa. The broad northeast face of the home has 45 degree corners providing an ideal projection for the glorious deck that sweeps around the entire frontage and bring the outdoors in through picture windows and French doors.
From here you can appreciate the extensively landscaped gardens with all manner of trees and flowers in rockeries, or bounded by stone retaining walls or natural rock formations. Alternatively you may wish to pick some of the home grown fruit, vegetables and herbs from the organic garden with an excellent array for a year round supply, and clever use of bamboo sticks and roses to help protect your harvest from potential pests.
