One of the most beautiful settings for a home I have seen in a while – not pruned and manicured with gold tipped shears; more a ramshackle “Mad Hatter’s Garden” making this a magical environment for children and grandchildren alike. This wonderful garden has previously been part of the “Open Garden” trail – visit “opengardensa.org.au/open-garden/gate-cottage-mylor-2″ to see features from previous events.

This unconventional property is not for the average family; with teapots hanging in trees, metal sculptures strewn among the roses and oak trees and so many secreted paths for children and adults to explore.

The original C1945 cottage has been extended (1970′s), and is now comprised of 3 bedrooms, study, utility, 2 bathrooms plus a cellar. It is linked to the gardens through french doors in the master bedroom and an undercover pergola which overlooks the in-ground pool and past a huge golden elm tree and a large covered chook run.

There is a large panel fronted (10 x 6m) garage at the front of the property plus 5000 gallons of rainwater storage plumbed and pressurised to the house. There is also a spring quality bore that is used to water the garden and top up the pool or RWT as required.
