It is with great pride and pleasure that I present to you this breath-taking masterpiece at 3 Halls Head Parade, Halls Head, Western Australia which is inspired by the love of the FRENCH PROVINCIAL design.
The outstanding attention to detail and authenticity is a testament to the owners’ vision, their architect Phillipa Mowbray’s understanding of their vision and the expertise of renowned local builder Harry Kirby (now retired). The unwavering commitment and skill of the tradespeople who created this French masterpiece is clearly evident wherever you look throughout this gorgeous French inspired home.
The story began some 60 years ago when the family would enjoy their holidays in the former beach house. The desire to create this magnificent work of art evolved from the family’s love of the south of France. After a year of detailed design, construction commenced in October 2001 and the development was completed in December 2002. The authentic gardens and patina on the stonework give this majestical estate its timeless classical beauty. As you move through the multiple levels of this expansive property you will be transported to another time and place!
The main house is positioned on the highest point of the property. This unique one of a kind estate sprawls over a massive 1803 square metres making it one of the most iconic properties in Old Halls Head. This absolute dream DUAL RESIDENCE with a commanding NORTH FACING aspect over the Indian Ocean that can never be diminished, is now ready for new owners to start creating their own story and memories.
