Ros surveying the property in 2001

 

This property was first developed in 1926 when a small house was built on the 9300 square metre block and a number of Pinus radiata were planted around the perimeter in the early thirties. Other large conifers were planted at the front of the property, including a now magnificent Portuguese Cypress, (Cupressus lusitanica). The property was purchased by the French government and used as their Chancery office for many years. We purchased the property in 2001 and the planting of this garden began in July 2003.
