Sunnyside has a main bedroom and up to four further bedrooms, full size study/library and two marble bathrooms provide suitably sumptuous accommodation, warmed by six wonderful open fire places (also with hydronic heating throughout).
Porcupine Ridge Estate’s classical elegance retains rich period character. Its location, on 127 rolling acres close to Daylesford, captures today’s mood perfectly. If you want to escape with convenience to a country life in luxurious surroundings, to entertain, relax and enjoy… it’s all here.
The gracious grounds have views to state forests and nearby Mt Franklin. Features include a tennis court, stables and four dams.
Farming was well established on this property by the 1840′s. The original portion of the homestead was built in 1863 from bluestone quarried along side the house. The farm cottages are original as are the stables and outbuildings. The farm today comprises 127 acres and is engaged in raising sheep.
Please note that Porcupine Ridge Estate is under new ownership, is being renovated and closed for reservations until the Easter Weekend: bookings commencing Wednesday 4th April 2012. We look forward to your inquiries.
