The minute we saw Abbeydore on the real estate website on New Year’s Day 2015 we knew we just had to see it for ourselves – and it didn’t disappoint! Although the house and lands were suffering from neglect and were unloved we both knew it was the place for us. Two months (and many negotiations later) we were the proud owners of Abbeydore, located in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW.

Follow this blog to share in our adventure as we turn Abbeydore from an overgrown acreage with a beautiful stone house to a small farm, with an even better stone house, which will produce the food we need for ourselves, for sharing and for the many long lunches we will host for family and friends.
