The estate sits within the picturesque hamlet of Stanley, 8 km from the historic and popular tourist destination of Beechworth. The area provides stunning scenery, as well as a lifestyle that is relaxed yet steeped in history and culture. One hour flights to and from Sydney and Melbourne daily are only a 40-minute drive away in the thriving city of Albury.

With accommodation for up to 20 people, the property features the added bonus of an existing steady income stream as one of Victoria’s finest boutique holiday destinations.

"Planetrees Estate is one of those unique properties that really does seem to exude its very own personality," Sue Gratton told WILLIAMS MEDIA. 

"Stepping inside the gates of this absolutely charming estate is like being transported to the south of France or perhaps Italy. With the beautiful gardens, bocci court, stunning natural pool, and the overriding feeling of warmth and relaxed sophistication, the property is just made for gathering family and friends together. And with the historically and culturally rich township of Beechworth close by with its world class restaurants, cafes, art galleries - and I am told a wonderful, inclusive community, Planetrees epitomises the term 'lifestyle' property."

The main house is designed in a French provincial style, with an attached ‘Art Suite’, while the second residence features a mountain lodge style with exposed beams and rustic feel. Both have four bedrooms, providing generous accommodation for guests and family. 

Outdoors, the main house features expansive gravelled terraces as well as a rose covered dining pergola adjacent to a peaceful lawned area that features a BBQ and wood fired pizza oven. 

The Lodge has its own private covered dining area and enclosed garden. The swimming pool, set within its own separate rambling garden, provides the perfect place to relax and laze away an afternoon or two.

There is an enormous, quintessentially Australian, timber and iron-clad shed with potential to store classic cars, set up workshops / exhibitions, provide a venue for weddings and functions, or use as the perfect secluded work space, with an office/studio already set up with connections for internet and phone.

The property features fully irrigated, low maintance European-style gardens with more than 300 deciduous trees, giant hedges, garden rooms, perennial borders, olive grove, an orchard and a large vegetable garden, all leading to one of the most spectacular features of this property – a 16 metre natural swimming pool edged in reeds, irises and water lilies. 

The huge central lawn is perfect for cricket and croquet, with a giant chess board and a bocci court all ready for family fun and games! 

Other activities in the area include hiking, biking, skiing, lakes and rivers, world class wineries, gourmet eateries, artisan breweries and farm gate experiences.
