The Melbourne couple behind one of Victoria’s top tourist destinations have made a heartbreaking decision to sell the $11m garden estate where they “effectively live in a zoo”.

Nick Smith, son of Sale of Century and Channel 9 announcer Pete Smith, and his wife Annemaree Van Rooy bought the Boneo farm on the Mornington Peninsula 30 years ago and have spent the following decades establishing an incredible array of 22 distinct gardens and has regularly featured on shows from Postcards to Gardening Australia.

The spectacular 130 Hyslops Rd property known as Azure on Panorama’s residents include a mob of kangaroos, including a dozen rare albinos, peacocks, swans, geese, emus, wallabies, alpacas, miniature horses, pigs, about 50 chickens, ducks and quails.
