106 Acres of Romance: Farmhouse, Cottages, Stables & More
'Folly Farm' is 106 acres of pure romance, offering a quintessential weatherboard farmhouse, guest cottages and extensive horse and cattle facilities. With a five-year renovation and extension project recently completed, the dreamy home offers exquisite yet comfortable family living.
Rambling and reminiscent of times past, beautiful lining boards and high ceilings are accompanied by designer flourishes; from the pendant lighting to the French oak flooring and marble bench tops, everything has been thoughtfully integrated. Expansive living and dining areas and the large kitchen/family room are light-filled through sets of French doors providing views to age-old gardens, lush paddocks and wrap-around verandas.
