Once in a while, a property becomes available that it is so rare as to be unique. This outstanding estate is part of George Fleming's original 1000 acre land grant, dating from 1796, known as Hibernia. The home, named Holly cottage was constructed in 1897 and is the only remaining home of the 'Old Place' owned by the Fleming family.
