HISTORY 
Lawnbrook Estate, better known as The Packing Shed at Lawnbrook, was established in 1896 by ACR Loaring (formerly of Margaret River). The land was originally developed as an orchard for citrus fruit due to the high subsoil water supply and over the years, was also used to farm daffodils and strawberries. Lawnbrook was eventually divided up into smaller acreage and the citrus trees were removed and replaced with just over an acre of grapevines in the mid-1980s. The current owners acquired the estate and reopened The Packing Shed @ Lawnbrook in 2017 after renovating.  

After 10 years of following their passion, the current owners are ready to downsize and pass the torch to the next generation of entrepreneurs looking to embrace this fantastic and rewarding lifestyle.
