Megan Morton's - RURAL IDYLL

Can you tell us a little about Mimosa Moon?

Our home is located in the beautiful Northern Rivers (paradise!) on a large property that includes a small rainforest, creek boundary and 360-degree scenic vistas. The 120-year-old homestead is on a raised slope and well positioned to appreciate the landscape. The property was built by one of the area’s original founding families and consisted of a large plot of farmland that was divided a long time ago, and now compromises several neighbouring properties. Initially a small four-room cottage with wraparound verandah, over the past half-century it has been extended – allowing for generous living and entertaining areas – without compromising its charm. Mimosa Moon is named after the native mimosa trees, which grace its landscape, and the moon, which is ever present in the clear night skies. My styling and travel business, The School, offers curated six-day trips to Paris, Japan, India and Byron Bay, so it was an easy decision to buy the property – given the ease of travel from here. I could see the potential not only for a comfortable family home, but a showcase for the varied passions that my husband, Giles, and I share, as well as ample room for our equestrienne daughter Bea’s ever-growing stable. The School’s Byron program rests largely on the shoulders of Mimosa Moon and all the amazing neighbours, the incredible Bundjalung country and the artistry of the region.
