Celebrity gardner's stunning $3m creation for sale

Better Homes and Gardens celebrit­y gardener Charlie Albone and his wife, interior designer Juliet­ Love, have listed their longtime Ourimbah home on the NSW Central Coast.

The 2.07ha property has been listed by McGrath Gosford agents Peter Morris and Nate Waters with a $3m to $3.2m price guidance.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom single-level English cottage-style house sits on a circular driveway in privacy deep behind its grand entry gate. It comes with a separate self-contained unit that includes a bedroom and kitchenette.

There are garden alcoves, a stunning wisteria-covered arbour, fruit trees, plus garden beds for vegetables. There is a feature dry-stone wall fire pit built by Scottish stonemason Callum Grey for the Chelsea Flower Show.

The five paddocks come with animal shelters, plumbed water troughs and a three-stall stable. The Ourimbah Creek Rd property has town water, plus 100,000-litre tanks.

The grounds have a saltwater pool.

The Ourimbah acreage was bought in 2012 for $840,000 with Love’s family having had a holiday house at ­Bateau Bay, so they knew the district.

Ourimbah’s top acreage sale sits at $3,725,000 for a 13.93ha Dog Trap Rd holding with a six-bedroom house, which sold in 2021.

There has been a $2.3m sale of 12ha Bumbles Creek Rd acreage last month with a four-bedroom 1940s house overlooking paddocks, with two dams, plus horse stables.

In late 2019, the couple, who have two sons, bought a two-storey red-brick semi in Maroubra for $2.355m, which has been transformed into a weatherboard coastal look. They secured permission in 2021 for $143,000 in works, including a pool and spa, on the 316sq m holding.

Albone quit Foxtel’s Selling Houses Australia in early 2020 to join the BH & G team, replacing fellow celebrity landscaper Jason Hodges.

After he arrived in Australia from  England, Albone met Love in  2009 when they both worked on a lifestyle show called The Party Garden. They were engaged within 10 months, and married on the NSW South Coast just six months later.
