We are just two crazy people who dreamed of the impossible and some how made it happen.

"Dare to dream"

I came across Thalia quite by chance. At the time I was aged 50 and found myself suddenly unemployed. To pass the time I started scanning the paper for rural homes and fantasised about owning them and running a B&B. One day I decided to take a drive to Murray Bridge, a place steep in history and look at some properties in the town. Whilst wondering down the main street I came upon a realestate office, and there was this beautiful property up for sale. " I just had to go and see it"
A complete waste of time really as no bank would lend me the money to buy her as I had no job.
When I first saw Thalia I instantly fell in love with her.
Thalia was such a peaceful place at a time when my life was in turmoil. I had to show it to Di. Di to was enchanted by her beautiful garden and Blue wrens playing in the bushes. But the house was tired and in need of some major work to bring it back to its former glory. With no job this was just a dream.
Time went by and I tried to forget about Thalia, I found another job, but Thalia kept nagging in the back of my mind.
18 months had gone by "surely it must have sold" I contacted the owners, "It was still available" and now after many challenges restoring this property the rest is history.
We hope you enjoy Thalia as much as we do.

There are few properties that offer the luxury of modern living and yet in a rural environment that feels you are long way away from your busy life.
Far enough away from Murray Bridge to be truely peace full on its own private 6 acres just for you to explore and enjoy, yet close enough to go for a meal or shop and visit the Langhorne creek wine area.

When Di and I first found Thalia we instantly fell in love with the property. It had all the charm of an Australian 1910 Villa, but located on a pictures 6 acres with pepper corn trees , pines and gums that dated back over 100 years.
Whilst the house has been tastefully extended it still retains all its original charms from lath and plaster ceilings, lead light window, and a beautiful arch in the hallway.
Now equiped with a luxury bathroom, polished floor boards, and many hours spent restoring it, it is truely an enchanting home. Please take the time to sit out on the verandahs, enjoy a coffee and watch the blue wrens playing on the lawns and in the shrubs.
One of my favourite past times is to walk out side at night.
If its a moon lit night you will see the paddocks and trees bathed in the moons silvery light, if there is no moon you will be treated to a sky full of a million stars.
Every time of the year is a blessing at Thalia, Summer there is beautiful mild evenings with a cool breeze often coming up the river from Lake Alexandrina, sit out side and enjoy a barbecue. Autumn the nights are becoming crisp and the days mild I love the changing colour of the Glory vines on the verandahs, Winter is had to beat, sitting in front of the wood fire or listening to the rain on the iron roof. The house is warm, and the beds cosy with Alpaca quilts. Finally Spring,
Thalia comes to life in Spring with all the flowers and new growth as the days become warm.

I hope you to enjoy Thalia as much as we do, it is a very special place for us.
