• World-Class Gardens: A True Labour of Love
"Wongawilli" is renowned for its stunning, world-class gardens, which are a testament to a life of travel and discovery. Once an empty paddock, this lush landscape has transformed into a multi-zoned botanical masterpiece, featuring an eclectic mix of flora from around the globe. The gardens reflect the spirit of Europe, Sri Lanka, New Guinea, and Vietnam, with species such as the magnificent Ficus dammaropsis from Papua New Guinea, the tropical elegance of Spathodea campanulata, and the towering beauty of Stenocarpus sinuatus.
Walking through the garden is like uncovering a hidden treasure-each season brings forth new wonders, from the striking blooms of Queen of the Night (Cestrum) and fragrant frangipanis to the deep red Syzygium wilsonii flowers. Whether it's clipped topiary or forests of magnolias and camellias, the landscape is a living work of art. Stone benches, sculptures, and winding paths add a sense of whimsy and discovery, inviting exploration at every turn.
The extensive drystone walls, crafted from basalt directly from the property, mirror the terraces of the Mediterranean coast, adding to the garden's allure. Wildlife thrives here, and the air is often filled with the evening song of birds, creating a sense of connection with nature that is both peaceful and profound.
• A Lifestyle Like No Other
Beyond its breath-taking beauty, "Wongawilli" offers a lifestyle of complete tranquillity, yet it remains conveniently close to Montville's artisan shops, restaurants, and nature trails. Whether you're sitting on the terrace, listening to the evening birds as the sun sets, or relaxing by the private swimming pool overlooking the distant Mary Valley, every moment at "Wongawilli" feels like a retreat into a different world.
With the rare advantage of two titles and the flexibility to further enhance or expand, "Wongawilli" offers not only a luxurious and elegant lifestyle today but also a promising canvas for the future.
