The Main Residence is generously spacious with 2.7m ceilings in bedrooms and 3m ceilings in living areas with an abundance of natural light. The residence is made up of two wings which are joined by the massive open-plan living areas flowing out to the outdoor entertainment area consisting of a huge deck which overlooks the exemplary crop of vines and olive tree grove.

One wing contains the Master Suite of bedroom, ensuite, walk-in wardrobe room and balcony; guest bedroom and bathroom. The other wing being on the opposite side of the living areas contains 4 double bedrooms, main bathroom and huge laundry.

The living area which is open-plan accommodates the over-sized kitchen, dining, lounge & family areas. There is a computer games room (for the young ones) and a separate technology room monitoring the systems about the farm and residence.

Through internal access to the expansive wine cellar below the house, this facility contains storage, bottling & labelling of the premium olive oil produced (the wines are produced at a local winery returning bottled to the owner once ready). An opportunity exists to create a wine tasting business from this wine cellar. Provision has already been made for terraces and garden beds in readiness for wine tastings.

Arguably some of the best Red and White Wines in the Southern Highland Region, the quality of wine produced at Darby Park is sought after by locals and bottle shops. The Extra-Virgin Olive Oil also enjoys the same accolades as the premium quality wines. The Olive Oil is sold through gourmet delis. The crops may not be extensive but the quality of what is produced is impressive and most enjoyable. Vineyard is approx. 2 acres and Olive Grove contains approx. 500 trees. Of course, the capacity to expand on the acreage of each crop is by personal choice on this approx. 86 acre property.
