Built from solid imported Western Australian Limestone, and finished with unique French architectural elements including doors, wrought iron balustrades and imported French Oak floors, the residence has a remarkable, enchanting and truly elegant European character.
The guest house has two en-suited bedrooms downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs, one with an enormous en-suite and walk-in robe.

It combines with a superb family room that overlooks a secluded courtyard with its French fountain and under cover terrace, plus a separate dining nook that boasts views of the stunning formal gardens which are terraced down to a luxury tiled in-ground pool area, beyond which lies a separate pavilion/pool house and large championship synthetic floodlit tennis court. There is also a separate Manager's residence set amidst its own garden and citrus orchard.
