LONE ACRE
Set on fertile land and dating back to the original Darlington Vineyard, Lone Acre is steeped in history.
Originally part of a 150-acre purchase by Alfred Waylen in 1884 for vineyards, Lone Acre is now one of only a handful of acre properties in this village-central locale. Thoughtfully landscaped into productive and ornamental zones, the property is full of infrastructure to make enjoyment, maintenance, and future landscape development easy.
The home itself has evolved from a cosy 1952 cottage into an inviting, flexible, and generous Federation-style homestead, meticulously maintained and sympathetically updated by the current owners. It's one of those special homes that's delightful to live in; drenched in natural light, surrounded by greenery, and incredibly comfortable, no matter the season or weather.
