‘When you first drive into the property, it gives expansive views of the Yarra Valley to the left, and then on the right is the cityscape in the distance; says Josh.

Sharn and Josh purchased a 124-acre property including a relatively small timber home, former vineyard, and most importantly, an abundance of water.

Our property has the Yarra River running through the bottom of it and a number of dams. This meant we could build a big garden knowing we could always provide it with plenty of water.

Both the house and land were rundown, having been unused for years, but the property couldn’t have fallen into better hands. The couple are the directors of sustainable timber supplier Eco Timber Group, and Josh also has a background in landscaping, so they were prepared for the major restoration task ahead.
