We are privileged to offer 'Fontecolombo' to the market for sale. This beautiful hand-built Italianate estate set high in the rolling hills above Bridgetown, three hours south of Perth, will have you relaxing in what genuinely feels like the Central Italian countryside, whilst appreciating the intricate craftsmanship and detail that adds to the authenticity. Architecturally designed north facing house with features such as the central library tower spanning over two floors, the large 'salone' on the first floor with its double skinned Oregon pine ceiling, has a perfect acoustic for chamber music-making, talks and seminars. The balcony and stage open up to an amphitheatre with seating for a 100-plus audience. The finer details include some remarkable 500 year old Jarrah beams, Oregon pine and Tasmaninan oak matched with wrought- iron handrails, and many hand-painted tiles by artist Gigi Cosi, who ran the much loved 'La Maiolica' pottery business in Perth, placed in the flooring throughout. Built in the mid 1990's by a hand picked team of Italian craftsmen using local, light coloured field granite with walls 40cm thick throughout, 'Fontecolombo' stands proud in its picture perfect location with beautiful gardens, vineyard and a magnificent array of Australian native and European deciduous trees gracing the grounds, all overlooking the olive grove of 60 trees down to the valley below. This beautiful property is visually and functionally outstanding, gracing many magazine covers and featuring in numerous articles. Words or photos simply do not do it justice. It is an absolute credit the owner. We invite you to book a private appointment to view this magnificent property.
