Self-contained guest suite for up to 4 adults on a secluded 44-acre property running along the Franklin River. Aest House is just 10 km from Foster but feels a million miles away from anywhere. Listen to the waterfall, the frogs and the birds (parrots, gang gangs, kookaburras, lyrebirds). Wander around the park-like gardens or ramble along our private track through native bushland. Spot wombats, echidnas, wallabies and maybe even a platypus. THE PROPERTY Nestled within 44 acres of stunning landscapes alongside the serene Franklin River, our property offers an unparalleled escape into nature. Here, gardens bloom, orchards thrive, and a mix of grassy fields, towering trees, native bushland, and ferny forests beckon. Venture further to discover Henwood Gorge, a hidden gem at the property's northern edge. THE HOUSE From the outside, it appears as one big house within a lush garden.
