The Bath House Garden

Ben and Sue Bath have listed their Oakhampton Heights estate, known as The Bath House Garden. 

The 1.4 hectare Forest Hill Drive property, near Maitland, comes with a $4.5 million to $4.95 million price guidance through McGrath Hunter Valley agent Chilli Bromage.

The property, which has been regularly open to the public, has a six-bedroom, three-bathroom house plus a guest house.

The property features an ornamental lake, Italian terrace, lawns, fountains, rose garden and lavender field, taking inspiration from Italian, English and French gardens. 

There is also a table grape vineyard and stone fruit orchard. 

The downsizing couple built the house and garden from scratch over the past 22 years. 

It featured recently on Better Homes and Gardens after a visit from veteran gardener Graham Ross. 

“You can tell at first glance that this is really a stunning garden,” he told the Channel 7 viewers.

“Just by the way the plants approach and envelop this beautiful country home.

“It is a magical landscape,” Ross said.

“We work together as a team …. we compliment each other ….. I am the bobcat and Sue is the more delicate,” Ben told Graham.
