About This Property
Welcome to The Orchard Retreat, your serene sanctuary in the heart of Leura. Nestled among heritage trees on the grounds of an old orchard, this beautifully transformed A-frame home blends modern comfort with timeless mountain character. Step inside and you’ll find a home designed for both gathering and retreating, where every season paints the garden and surrounding landscape in its own kind of magic.
With three bedrooms, multiple living and dining spaces, a sunlit back room, and a broad front deck, there is room here for everyone to find their place — whether it’s sharing meals and conversation, or slipping quietly into stillness among the trees.
The central fireplace is the heart of the home: a crackling wood fire for long winter evenings, while reverse-cycle heating ensures instant comfort at the touch of a button. Upstairs, a peaceful second lounge and study provide flexibility — a spot to work remotely, curl up with a book, or let the kids enjoy their own movie or board game night.
Step out onto the balcony overlooking the pond, where you can greet the morning with a coffee, watch native birds flutter through the garden, or end the day stargazing under the mountain skies.
The Seasons at The Orchard
Nature takes centre stage here, and each season brings its own enchantment:
🌸 Spring – Cherry blossoms line the street and garden, creating a breathtaking, picture-perfect welcome.
🍁 Autumn – The maples blaze in fiery reds and golds, the cool air inviting fireside evenings and misty forest walks.
🍇 Summer – Grape vines drape across the front deck, offering shade for alfresco meals, lazy afternoons, and golden-hour drinks.
✨ Winter Nights – Soft festoon lights strung across the deck and sunroom glow against the cold, setting the scene for intimate dinners or cosy evenings by the fire.
A Place with a Story
This land once formed part of a flourishing orchard, later incorporated into the famed Everglades Garden, designed by Danish landscape architect Paul Sorensen. Today, the property still holds echoes of that history — with apple, pear, and cherry trees continuing to thrive, and the house itself lovingly wrapped around them. A zen garden and shallow pond welcome frogs, birds, and other native wildlife, while a small Buddha beneath an apple tree offers a quiet symbol of peace.
