House Notes – Tingrith Meeting House
Nine years ago I retired to this beautiful farm, set in some of the best vineyards in the world and surrounded by natural Australian bush with wildflowers and many varieties of Australian birds. On the farm I have established fruit orchards, olive trees, citrus trees, alpaca, poultry and sheep.
I have designed and built what can only be described as a luxury holistic retreat so that others can enjoy this Paradise – a place for people to come together, meet each other, and relax and grow spiritually.
Features include:
- Rammed-earth walls
- Maximum savings orientation
- Breeze through windows for cooling s in summer
- Concrete floor north-facing for warmth in winter
- Central wood fire
- Rainwater tanks
- Limited LED lighting
- Cross-ventilation
- Sustainable materials used (jarrah and marri timber felled on property for flooring and cupboards, limestone rammed earth, some oil lamps for lighting)
- There is also a converted caravan/tiny house nearby available for inspection (approx. 1km from the main house).
Tingrith is a 118-acre farm property with 50 acres of natural bush, adjoining the State Forest, 15 minutes drive from Margaret River. The name Tingrith comes from a little fishing village in Bedfordshire where Felicity’s forebears on her mother’s side started making Tanqueray gin.
Designed by the owners and built by Oceania Blue Constructions.
If you would like to stay at Trigrith a little longer, you can book overnight accommodation here.
How to get there: Travel east along Osmington Road, cross over the Jindong-Treeton crossroad and the signposted turnoff to Tingrith, with a pink flying pig letterbox, is to your left about 3kms past the crossroad, at the foot of the hill. If you reach the gravel road, you’ve gone about 500m too far.
