Peninsula garden
This 33 acre property is stunningly sited on a peninsula. It was important that the garden provide a feeling of comfort and intimacy without conflicting with the essence of the place.
A stone ha-ha helps to exclude wildlife from the garden and various stone seating ares on the property provide resting places to take in the wonderful views. A spiral starting at the front door, works its way through the garden and along the length of the peninsular, drawing people out to the cobbled stone fire pit.
