COUNTRY ESTATES is a tribute to country properties; whether great or small; to their history, dignity, and of course their romance, as they continue to inspire us, even through modern times. From quaint country houses to grand country manors, sophisticated gentlemen's retreats and sweeping pastoral stations, Country Estates offers an extraordinary insight into the richness and spirit of these places, and provides an intimate sense of what it means to inhabit one. As Jane Austen once said, if only we could all live in such a place.
