This home built in 1863 is “country” all the way – but I still loved it…
I think it’s the internal colours!
The timber lined ceilings are a bit scary tho!
OK, it’s not the fanciest home I’ve blogged about, but I have the feeling that this place would be amazing in real life… (as opposed to the blogosphere!)
And here’s what the Agent said about it!
PORCUPINE RIDGE ESTATE One of the most significant historic properties in rural Victoria. 127 acres (51.4ha) of fantastic undulating country and a magnificent bluestone residence Circa 1863 with subsequent additions in the 1880’s and 1989. Today the homestead is approximately 60sq and boasts some amazing features including an impressive entrance hall with marbles floors, 1840’s French Walnut mantle and original French light fittings.
