‘We wanted to give our children the chance to grow up here because it is such a beautiful nurturing place and this home reflected that,’ said Marta.
‘It is a great house to dream in,’ she continued. ‘And a house where you can believe anything is possible. We are sad to let it go.’
The family bought the home in March 2017 for $1.1 million and were attracted by the ‘unique appeal’ and the ‘amount of dreaming space’ to ‘express’ themselves.

The Tudor Revival-style home is an icon in the Taroona landscape.
It was built in 1888 on the Winmarleigh estate to provide a house for the coach, horses and the gatekeeper.
It was transformed 40 years later to form a family residence for the son of the original owner, his wife and their four children.
Renovations to the home had changed the carriage house, stables and tack room into spacious living areas.
Inclusions: Built traditionally with solid brick, the landmark property features three expansive living areas, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, farm-style kitchen, sunny conservatory and a driveway open for two vehicles

The property’s grounds include gardens with a variety of exotic plants, flowers and bushes with a wide open area and a gorgeous nature backdrop.
Dusseldorp and her husband used the abundant room at the Lodge to create ‘work areas,’ which helped form the idea for their production company, Archipelago Productions.
The couple said they will greatly miss leaving the historic property along with the ‘beautiful community’ in Taroona.
