Property Details

Some of the finest wool on the New England was grown at Anketell Forest. The 90 year old shearing mechanics are still bolted to the thick beam. Parts of the wood floor are stained with lanolin where the bale was packed. Almost all the timber used in The Shearing Shed grew amongst these ridges and valleys. The old posts and rafters as well as the new extensions and furniture all hold the colour and nature of the forest.

*update*: now featuring eco-friendly ducted heating into the bedrooms and a great Weber bbq on the western deck.
