Red Hill South Sanctuary on 12.7 acres. ‘Bollitree’ is the culmination of a two-decade journey to create a truly enduring country residence; it is a collaboration between architect Russell Barrett and celebrated landscape designer Paul Bangay on ideal acreage in the dress circle of Red Hill South.

Framed by a dry-stone granite entry, the arrival sequence sets the tone for the property’s botanical experience. The sweeping lawns of Santa Ana couch, the same couch favoured for tennis courts, croquet lawns and golf fairways, create a lush barefoot friendly canvas linking each of Bangay’s famed ‘garden rooms’.
