Courtyard House

1998    COURTYARD HOUSE                                                   CASTLEMAINE, VIC.       $600,000

The heart of this house is an enclosed Japanese courtyard garden designed to be viewed from each of the 12 rooms.

Featuring a  pool, a bridge, fragrant plants and the sound of falling water, the central garden transforms the mood of the

house as it changes with the time of day and the seasons.
