Held by the one family for three generations, 'Stratford' is a property of exceptional charm, history and presence. Set on 12.3* acres in the heart of the O'Connell Valley, the holding is centred around a remarkably original circa 1858 colonial homestead and surrounded by magnificent gardens that have been lovingly nurtured over generations.
Steeped in local history and occupying one of the district's most admired locations, 'Stratford' offers a lifestyle opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find. From the moment you enter the tree-lined grounds, the sense of tranquillity, space and timeless character is unmistakable.
The beautifully preserved homestead remains rich in authentic period detail, while a separate three-bedroom cottage, formerly the O'Connell School of Arts, adds another fascinating layer to the property's story. Mature trees, expansive lawns, ponds, fountains and seasonal plantings combine to create a truly spectacular garden setting.
