Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, Highwic is shielded by lush, mature trees and tall hedges, preserving the charm of a prosperous Colonial family. The estate offers a peaceful escape from the surrounding commercial activity. An ancient orchard lines Gillies Avenue, while Echium pinana rises above the volcanic rock at the property"s north-west edge. The trees surrounding the homestead, including some once-popular pines, date back to the 1860s. Norfolk pines grace the croquet lawn, where guests can still partake in a delightful game.
