Mawarra is a 3ac luxury estate and is heritage listed. The gardens, designed and constructed by Edna Walling offer numerous "outdoor rooms" and a lawn tennis court, whilst the Manor has that wood-panelled old world feel with a country kitchen, billiards room and amazing avocado-shaped indoor pool with sauna. The space Mawarra Manor, heritage listed and built in 1932, is set on 3 acres and sleeps 8 in 4 exquisite bedrooms. The garden is recognised as the most famous surviving example by renowned garden designer Edna Walling. Whilst both house and garden have undergone extensive restoration their historic significance has always remained at the forefront of thinking. The manor incorporates all traditional formal and informal rooms that one would expect in a home of this era. Extensive wood panelling, wall to wall carpets, gas central heating, evaporative cooling and tasteful lighting provide a luxurious ambience. The upper level comprises an entry hall, large bow-shaped formal lounge with open fire place, enormous semi-enclosed balcony billiards room overlooking the central staircase and garden, country kitchen with Miele appliances including 2 dishwashers, built-in refrigerator and benchtop coffee machine, electric oven, gas hob, microwave and separate gas AGA oven and hotplates. The lounge is furnished with three comfortable 3-seater couches and a baby grand piano, TV and DVD player. The dining room leads from the kitchen and comfortably seats 10. The upstairs bathroom features a rain shower head and a European laundry and separate toilet. French doors lead to an enormous avocado-shaped gas and solar-heated indoor swimming pool with games area and sauna. The pool area has separate heating and humidity control. It looks through floor to ceiling glass onto a deck with outdoor dining setting. Upstairs is a king-sized 4-poster bed in one room and a queen-sized 4-poster bed in the other. Downstairs is bedroom 3 having a king-sized 4-poster bed and bedroom 4 having a king-sized bed and ensuite bathroom. There is a separate toilet and central shower room off the hallway. Both bedrooms have separate entries from the garden. If required, there is a 5th queen sized day bed in the study that is available for an additional fee. The garden offers a pedigree like no other, the centrepiece being the sweeping stone staircase leading to the stunning octagonal reflecting pond at the bottom of the property, described by Edna Walling as "a symphony of steps and beautiful trees". Beautiful vistas and rare plantings reflect the love that has been lavished on Mawarra over the years with many beautiful paths traversing the grounds. Wander through and find the restored lawn tennis court, a cottage garden and a model Tudor village. You'll discover, discreetly tucked within the grounds, "Edna Walling Cottage". Built in 1936 and based on Princess Elizabeth and Margaret's life-sized dolls' house at Royal Lodge Scotland, "Edna Walling Cottage" is fully self-contained and also available to let. Guest access Guests have the Manor to themselves and full access to the garden and tennis court. The Edna Walling Cottage is separately let and also accesses the garden and tennis court. Other things to note Please be mindful of our neighbours. Although the property is large and feels completely isolated, there are several neighbouring properties. AS OF MAY 2024 there is a large oak tree that has fallen down, blocking 2 paths and affecting ~5% of the garden.
